Question
Answer
hypothalamus   show
🗑
show stimulates anterior pituitary gland to RELEASE a hormone  
🗑
inhibiting hormone   show
🗑
show stimulates kidneys to reabsorb h2o and stimulates blood vessles to vasoconstrict -> increases blood pressure  
🗑
oxytocin OT   show
🗑
show HORMONES: Follicle stimulating, Luteinizing, Adrenocorticotropic, Thyroid stimulating, Prolactin, Growth Hormone. FLAT PG  
🗑
show stimulates testes for sperm production and maturation, stimulates ovaries for growth of ovarian follicles (protects egg), stimulates estrogen  
🗑
show stimulates testes to secrete testosterone, stimulates ovaries to ovulate and secrete progesterone (pregnancy)  
🗑
show histology: myelinated axons from hypothalamus. RELEASES hormones (doesn't produce): oxytocin and ADH antidiuretic  
🗑
adrenocorticotropic ACTH   show
🗑
show stimulates thyroid to release thyroid hormone (duh)  
🗑
show stimulates mammary gland to produce milk and stimulates testes to be sensitive to LH (luteinizing h)  
🗑
Growth H GH   show
🗑
show Histology: follicular cells simp cuboidal, secrete thyroid h, colloid fluid in center has thyroid h, parafollicular cells secrete calcitonin. Hormones: Thyroid and Calcitonin  
🗑
T3 T4 thyroid hormone   show
🗑
calcitonin CT   show
🗑
parathyroid gland   show
🗑
show stimulates osteoclasts INCREASES Ca levels, stimulates kidneys to reabsorb Ca, stimulates synthesis of Calcitrol (active form of vitamin D)  
🗑
show 3 zonas: glomerulosa: bulb cells make mineralocorticoids. fasciculata: cords of lipid rich cells that make glucocorticoids. reticularis: branching cells make gonadocorticoids.  
🗑
show cope w stress by stimulating production of glucose from fats. high levels can reduce swelling and inhibit immune system  
🗑
show regulates salt levels by stimulating kidneys to reabsorb Na if BP drops  
🗑
androgens: gonadocorticoids   show
🗑
show chromaffin cells that secrete NE and EPI  
🗑
show stimulated by sympathetic division of ANS and have longer effects of increased: heart rate, breathing, glucose levels, pupil diameter  
🗑
show both exocrine and endocrine cells. pancreatic islets with simp cuboidal cells around that secrete digestive enzymes (exocrine). hormones: glucagon and insulin  
🗑
show increases blood glucose levels during fasting and starvation  
🗑
show decreases blood glucose levels, stimulates body cells to take up glucose  
🗑
