Endocrine System(MR)

QuestionAnswer
Function of the Endocrine System Glands continuously secrete produced calld hormones, which are chemical messengers that deliver stimulatory or inhibitory signals to target cells as a reslt of a feeback mechaism, oce secreted, hormones usually rein present in the body for 4 to 6 hours.
Thyroid Gland Overlies thyroid cartilage below the larynx
Thyroid hormones Accelerate cellular raction in most body cells (Thyroxine, Triioidothyronine, Calcitonin)
Thyroxine Stimulates metabolic rate, essential for normal physical and mental devlopment)
Triiodothyronine inhibits anterior pituitary secreation of thyroid stimulating hormone
Calcitonin decreases loss of calciumfrom bone; promotes hypocalcemia; actin opposite that of parathormone
Small glads embeded in the posterior pat of thyroid Parathyroid gland
Parathyroid hormone (parathormone) 1 Increases bood calcium concentration 2 Decreases blood phosphate concetration b slowing it reabsoption fromthe kidnes, thereby decreasing calcium loss in urine.
How des Parathyroi hrmone increase blood calcium concentration A Breakdown of bone with relsease of calcium ito blood (requies the active formof vatamin D) B Calcium absrption from intestine into the blood C Kidney tubule reabsorptio of calcium
Two closely associated structures, adrenal medulla and adrenal cortex positioned at each kidneys superior border Adrenal glan
Adrenal hormones Adrenal medulla and adrenal cortex
Adreal medulla produces two catecholamines epinephrine and norepinephrine
Stimulate liver an skelealmuscle to break down glycogen to produce glucse Adrenal medulla
Inreases oxygen use and carbon doixid production Adrenal medulla
Increase blood concentation of free fatty acids through stimulation of lipolysis in adipose tissue adrenal medulla
cause constiction of nearly allblood vessels of body thus increasing totalperipheral resistance and arterial pressure to shunt blood to vital organs adrenal medulla
increases heat rate and force of contraction and thus raise cardiac output adrenal medulla
inhibit contractions of gasrointestinal an uterine smot muscl Adrenal hormones
Epinephrine significantly dilates bronchial smooth muscles Adrenal hormones
Adrenal Cortex: secertes the mineralocorticoid aldosterone and the glucocorticods cortisol and crticosterone
Markedly accelerates sodium and water reabsorption by kidney tubules aldosterone
markedly accelerats potassium excretion by kidney tubules aldosterone
Aldosterone secretin increases as sodium ion decrease or potassium ions increase aldosterone
accelerate mobilizaion and catabolim of tissue protein and fats Cortisol and corticosterone
accelerate mobilization an catabolism of tissue protein and fats Cortisl an Corticosterone
decrase antiboody formain (immuosuppressive, antiallergic effect) Cortisl an Corticosterone
slow the prolifeation of fibroblasts characteristic of imflammatio Cortisl an Corticosterone
decease adrenocorticopic homone ACTH secretion Cortisl an Corticosterone
Mily accelareate sodium and watr reabsorption an potassium excretion by kidney tubules Cortisl an Corticosterone
Increase rlease of coagulatio factors Cortisl an Corticosterone
Where is the Pancreas located Retroperitoneal in abdominal cavity
Pancreatic hormones regulate? glucose and protein homeostasis throughte action of insulin and glucagon.
Insulin is secreted by islets ofLangerhans
Insulin promotes te cellula uptake of glucose
Insulin stmulates itacellular macromolecular synthesis, such as glycogensynthesis (glyconeogeisis), fat synthesis (lipogenesis) and protein synthess. Also stimulates cellular uptake of sodium and potassium.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
