Endocrine system

        Help!  

Question
Answer
show Regulates the metabolic functions of cells  
🗑
show Endocrine use hormones, the circulatory system for transport, response has a lag period and it has a prolonged effect. The neversou system used electrical signals, nerves for transport, fast response and shorter effect  
🗑
show controls metabolism, stimulates or inhibits growth, control what goes in and out of cell, and cell division  
🗑
show Steroid; lipid soluble; able to enter cell. and amino acid bases; binds to receptor on plasma membrane  
🗑
3 Types of hormone release   show
🗑
show sits in the sella turcia. releases had two lobes; anterior and posterior  
🗑
Neurohypophysis (posterior lobe)   show
🗑
show -Antidiuretic Hormone;reduces urine production, water is reabsorbed by kidneys, blood volume increases, higher BP, alcohol inhibits ADH secretion. 2) Oxytocin; contraction of smooth muscle in the uterus & ducts of the mammary glands, positive feedback  
🗑
Andenohypopysis (anterior lobe)   show
🗑
show something in fluid or blood stimulates hormone production  
🗑
show direct enervation from nerves, stimulation from nerve fibers  
🗑
show "chain reaction", one hormone stimulates production of other hormones from different glands  
🗑
show Prolactin, Thyroid Stimulating hormone(TSH), Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH), Melanocyte stimulating (MSH), Follicle stimulating (FSH) and Luteinizing hormone (LH)  
🗑
show in females stimulates milk production  
🗑
show stimulates thyroid to produce and secret thyroxin  
🗑
show stimulates adrenal cortex to produce glucocoticoids  
🗑
Melanocyte stimulating hormone   show
🗑
show In females, stimulates development of follicles in the ovary and production of estrogen. In males it stimulates sperm production  
🗑
Luteinizing hormone   show
🗑
Pineal Gland   show
🗑
Thymus   show
🗑
Thyroid Gland hormones   show
🗑
show Controls basal metabolic rate, stimulates growth and development, produced in thyroid follicle cells (colloid?)  
🗑
Calcitonin   show
🗑
goiter   show
🗑
show increases calcium in the blood, converting fit D to active from which allows calcium absorption in blood and causes kidney to reabsorb calcium, releases back into the body  
🗑
show composed of adrenal cortex-glandular; adrenal medulla- neural  
🗑
Adrenal Cortex releases   show
🗑
Andrenal Medulla releases   show
🗑
show Pancreatic acini cells are exocrine. Pancreatic islets are endocrine.  
🗑
show Glucagon: increases sugar levels in blood stream. Insulin: decreases sugar levels in blood stream  
🗑
gonads   show
🗑
