Cards

Term
Hypothalamus synthesizes
Definition
Oxytocin / Antidiuretic hormone / Regulating Hormone / Inhibiting hormone
Term
Posterior pituitary STORES
Definition
Antidiuretic hormone / oxytocin
Term
Antidiuretic Hormone (Synthesized in / Corrects / Target tissue / Effect / Dysfunction)
Definition
Synthesized: Supraoptic nuclei
Corrects: Low BP / Volume
Target tissue: Kidneys
Effect: Prevent water loss
Dysfunction: diabetes insipidus
Term
Oxytocin (Synthesized / Regulates / Target tissue)
Definition
Synthesized: paraventricular nuclei
Regulates: Childbirth / Lactation / Prostatic function
Target tissue: Smooth muscle of prostate and mammary ducts / uterus
Term
Anterior pituitary SYNTHESIZES AND STORES
Definition
Thyroid stimulating hormone
Adrenocorticopic Hormone
Follicle stimulating hormone
Lutenizing hormone
Prolactin
Growth hormone
Melanocyte stimulating hormone
Term
Thyroid Stimulating hormone's target
Definition
Thyroid gland
Term
Adrenocorticopic Hormone's Target
Definition
Adrenal cortex
Term
Follicle stimulating hormone's target
Definition
gonads
Term
Lutenizing hormone's target
Definition
Gonads
Term
Prolactin's target
Definition
Mammary glands
Term
Growth Hormone's target
Definition
All Cells
Term
Melanocyte stimulating hormone's target
Definition
Melanocytes
Term
Follicles (Stimulating hormone / Synthesize / corrects / target tissue / effect)
Definition
Stimulating hormone: TRH --> TSH
Synthesize: T3 & T4
Corrects: Low T3 & T4 levels / body temp
Target tissue: All cells
Effect: Adjust metabolism
Term
Parafollicular C - cells (Synthesizes / Corrects / Target Tissue / Effect)
Definition
Synthesize: Calcitonin
Correct: High calcium levels
Target tissue: Kidneys / osteoclasts
Effect: Decrease osteoclast activity / Kidney exretes calcium
Term
Parathyroid gland (Synthesizes / Corrects / Target tissue / Effect)
Definition
Synthesizes: Parathyroid hormone
Corrects: Low calcium levels
Target tissue: Osteoclasts and kidneys
Effects: Increase osteoclast activity and kidney conserves calcium
Term
Parathyroid gland synthesizes
Definition
Parathyroid hormone
Term
Adrenal Gland's has 2 sections
Definition
Cortex (outter area)
Medulla (center)
Term
Adrenal Cortex's layers
Definition
Zona glomerulosa
Zona Fasciculata
Zona Reticularis
Term
Zona Glomerulosa [product called] (stimulating hormone / hormone / target tissue / corrects / effect)
Definition
Product: Mineral corticoids
Stimulating hormone: CRH --> ATCH
Hormone: Aldosterone
Target tissue: Kidneys
Corrects: Low BP
Effect: Kidney retains sodium + water
Term
Zona Fasciculata [product called] (Stimulating hormone / hormone / target tissue / effect)
Definition
Product: glucocorticoids
Stimulating Hormone: CRH --> ATCH
Hormone: Cortisol
Target tissue: Most cells
Effect: mobilizes stored energy during prolonged / severe stress
Term
Zona Reticularis (Produces)
Definition
Androgens
Term
Adrenal Medulla (Stimulation / Hormone / Target Tissue / Effect)
Definition
Stimulation: Preganglionic sympathetic neurons
Hormone: Norepinephrine / Epinephrine
Target Tissue: Fight / flight organs
Effect: Prolonged stress response
Term
Pancreas Synthesizes
Definition
Beta cells / Alpha cells
Term
Beta Cells (Synthesize / correct / target / effect)
Definition
Synthesize: Insulin
Correct: High blood glucose
Target: Body cells
Effect: Uptake of glucose into cells
Term
Alpha cells (Synthesize / correct / target / effect)
Definition
Synthesize: Glucagon
Correct: Low blood glucose
Target: Body cells
Effect: Mobilizes stored energy reserves
Term
Diabetes Mellitus (Type 1 / Type 2)
Definition
Type 1: Born this way / Lack of insulin produced by beta cells / cells cannot absorb glucose / kidneys cannot conserve water
Type 2: Decreased sensitivity to insulin / inadequate insulin secretion
Term
Growth Hormone (Stimulating hormone / other stimulators / target tissue / effect)
Definition
Stimulating hormone: GHRH
Other stimulators: Sleep / stress
Target tissue: All cells
Effect: Replace old fat cells / builds proteins & cellular structures / mobilizes fat store for energy use
Term
Testes (LH / FSH)
Definition
Lutenizing hormone stimulates testosterone production (Sperm / secondary sex characteristics / muscle growth)
FSH: Causes sustenticular cells to produce inhibin (Decreases FSH from anterior pituitary)
Term
Ovaries (FSH / LH)
Definition
FSH: Follicle cells produce estrogen (Maturation of oocytes / stimulates growth of uterine lining / produces inhibin)
LH: After ovulation follicle cells that remain become corpus luteum / produces progesterone (for implantation of fertilized ovum)
Term
Kidney Produces
Definition
Renin
Erythropoietin
Steroid Hormone calcitriol
Term
Renin
Definition
Increases blood pressure
Term
Erythropoietin
Definition
Red blood cell production by bone marrow / increase blood pressure and oxygen levels
Term
Steroid hormone calcitriol
Definition
Secreted with PTH to increase calcium levels
Increase calcium absorption in digestive tract
Term
Thymus
Definition
Development and Maintenance of immunity
