Hormones and what their functions are
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Thyriod-stimulating hormone function is?(TSH) (Anterior Pituitary Gland) | (Tropic hormone) Stimulates secretion of the throid hormones |
| Adrenocorticotropic hormone function is? (ATCH)(Anterior Pituitary Gland) | (Tropic hormone) Stimulates secretion of the adrenal cortex |
| Follicle-stimulating hormone function is? (FSH) (Anterior Pituitary Gland) | (Tropic hormone) Female: Stimulates development of ovarian follicles and secretion of estrogens Male: Stimulates seminiferous tubules of testes to grow and produce sperm |
| Luteinizing hormone function is? (LH) (Anterior Pituitary Gland) | (Tropic hormone)Female:Stimulates maturation of ovarian follicle and ovum; stimulates secretion of estrogen;triggers ovulation;stimulates development of corpus luteum Male: Stimulates interstitial cells of the testes to secrete testosterone |
| Growth hormone function is? (GH) (Anterior Pituitary Gland) | Stimulates growth in all organsp; mobilizes food molecules, causing an increase in blood glucous concentration |
| Prolactin (lactogenic hormone) function is? (Anterior Pituitary Gland) | Stimulates breast development during pregnancy and milk secretion after pregnancy |
| Antidiurtic hormone function is? (ADH) (Posterior Pituitary Gland) | Stimulates retention of water by the kidneys |
| Oxytocin function is? (OT) (Posterior Pituitary Gland) | Stimulates the release of milk into the breast ducts |
| Releasing hormones functions are? (RHs) (Posterior Pituitary Gland) | Stimulate the anterior pituitary to release hormones |
| Inhibiting hormones functions are? (IHs) (Posterior Pituitary Gland) | Inhibit the anterior pituirtary's secretion of hormones |
| Thyroxine (T4) & Triiodothyronine (T3) function is? (Thyroid) | Stimulate the energy metabolism of all cells |
| Calcitonin function is? (CT) (Thyroid) | Inhibits the breakdown of bone; causes a decreses in blood calcium concentration |
| Parathroid hormone function is? (PTH) (Parathyroid) | Stimulates the breakdown of bone; causes an increase in blood calcium concentration |
| Mineralocorticoids: aldosterone function is? (Adrenal Cortex) | Regulate eletrolyte and fluid homeostasis |
| Glucocorticoids: cortisol (hydrocotisone) function is? (Adrenal Cortex) | Stimulate gluconeogenesis; causing an increase in blood glucous concentration; also have antinflammatory, antimmunity, and antiallergy effects |
| Sex hormones functions are? (Adrenal Cortex) | Stimulate sexual drive in the female but have negligible effects in the male |
| Epinephrine (Epi) & Norepinphrine (NR) function is? (Adrenal Medulla) | Prolong and intensify the sympathetic nervous response during stress |
| Glucagon function is? (Pancreatic Islets) | Stimulates glycogenolysis in lever, causing an increase in blood glucous concentration |
| Insulin function is? (Pancreatic Islets) | Promote glucous entry into all cells, causing a decrease in blood glucous concentration |
| Estrogen function is? (Ovary) | Promote development and maintenance of female sexual characteristics |
| Progesterone function is? (Ovary) | Promotes conditions required for pregnancy |
| Testosterone function is? (Testis) | Promotes development and maintenance of male sexual characteristics |
| Thymosin function is? (Thymus) | Promote development of immune-system cells |
| Melatonin function is? (Pineal) | Inhibites tropic hormones that affect the ovaries; may be involved in the body's internal clock and sleep cycle |
