Jena's introduction to chapter 8: Endocrinology

Pituitary gland

master gland

Thyroid gland

Thyroxin and calcitonin

Parathyroid gland

Parathyroid hormone

Adrenal gland

Epinephrine (adrenalin)

Pancreas

Insulin

Testes

testostorone

Ovaries

Estrogen and progesterone

Thyroxin

Thyroid gland

Calcitonin

Thyroid gland

Synthroid

medication that is a man-made version of the hormone T4

Hypothyroidism

slowing of growth and mental development

Cretinism

development delays or slowing growth

Hyperthyroidism

More growth than normal

Parathyroid hormone

increase blood calcium levels

Hypocalcemia

osteoporosis

Adrenal medulla

increases metabolic rate, heart rate, breathing and blood flow to muscles during exercise

Adrenal cortex

Aldosterone

Epinephrine (adrenaline)

Raises blood sugar levels

Aldosterone

Causes kidneys to retain salt and water, into the urine

Cortisol

Stress hormone

Addison’s disease

caused by low cortisol

Cushing’s disease

caused by high cortisol

Insulin

Pancreas

Glucagon

Pancreas

Diabetes mellitus

Caused by lower blood sugar levels (gluconeogenesis)

Glycogenesis

Insuline

Glycogenolysis

Glucagon

Testosterone

masculinizing hormone

Estrogen

feminizing hormone

Progesterone

increases vascularization of uterus

Human chorionic gonadotropin

Maintain vascularization of uterus during prenancy

Placenta

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin

Gestation

pregnancy

What are the 2 parts of the pituitary gland?

Posterior and anterior pituitary gland

What 2 hormones are made by the posterior pituitary gland?

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and Oxytocin

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)

causes kidney to retain water

Oxytocin

Stimulates labor contractions and milk

Pitocin

Another word for oxytocin (IDK)

What are the 6 hormones made by the anterior pituitary gland?

Thyrotropin(TSH) , Adrenocorticotropin (ACTH), Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), Luteinizing hormone (LH), Growth hormone, and Prolactin.

Thyrotropin

Stimulates thyroid gland to secrete thyroxin (TSH)

Adrenocorticotropin (ACTH)

Stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete glucocorticoids (cortisol)

Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)

stimulates gonads to secrete gametes and sex hormones

Luteinizing hormone (LH)

stimulates gonads to secrete gametes and sex hormones

Growth hormone

stimulates growth in body

Prolactin

stimulates mammary glands to produce milk

Gonad

sex (reproductive) organs

Tropic

Affect

Adeno
