New cards

what does the endocrine system consist of

endocrine glands

2
New cards

endocrine glands are

ductless

3
New cards

hormones

secrete directly into the bloodstream

4
New cards

hormones

serves as a chemical messenger

5
New cards

what are the principles of the general endcorine system

  1. hormone- receptor interaction

  2. every hormone has a target(s)

  3. normally hormones are released only as needed

6
New cards

what is the pituitary gland divided in

posterior pituitary and anterior pituitary

7
New cards

what is the posterior pituitary known as

neurohypophysis

8
New cards

what is the anterior pituitary known as

adenohypophysis

9
New cards

what are the two posterior pituitary hormones

oxytocin and antidiuretic (ADH) or Vasopressin

10
New cards

what are the targets on oxytocin

uterine smooth muscle & mammary gland (woman)

11
New cards

oxytocin effect on uterine smooth muscle

increase contraction

12
New cards

oxytocin in mammary gland

increase milk ejection

13
New cards

what are the targets in ADH or Vaspressin

kidney and blood vessels

14
New cards

what is the effect on the kidney in ADH

decrease urine output and increase water retention

15
New cards

what is the effect on blood vessels in ADH

increase blood pressure

16
New cards

increase of ADH

decrease of urine output (increase water retention)

17
New cards

decrease of ADH

increase of urine output (decrease water retention)

18
New cards

your body is over hydrated so you need to release the excess water so your body is going to

decrease ADH to pee out all the excess water. It is going to increase urine output

19
New cards

bleeding triggers your body to release

ADH

20
New cards

if you’re dehydrated your body is going to release ADH to

tell your kidney to stop making urine so you can retain as much water in your body as possible

21
New cards

when you’re dehydrated your blood volume decrease so therefore

your blood pressure decrease

22
New cards

vasoconstriction increases

blood pressure

23
New cards

as water retention increase

our BV raises

24
New cards

what are the 6 hormones in the anterior pituitary

growth hormone (somatropin)

Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) or Corticotropin

Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) or

Gonadotropins (FSH & LH)

Prolactin

25
New cards

what are the targets of growth hormone (GH) or Somatropin

bone

26
New cards

what is the effect on bone in growth hormone (gh)

increasing bone growth

27
New cards

what is the target of ACTH or Cortiocotropin

adrenal cortexr

28
New cards

what is the effect on adrenal cortext in ACTH or Corticotropin

increasing production of cortisol

29
New cards

what is the hormone of thyroid stimulating hormone

thyroid gland

30
New cards

what is the effect on thyroid gland in TSH

increasing production of thryoid hormone

31
New cards

what are gonadotropins (FSH & LH) targets

gonads

32
New cards

what is the effect on gonads in gonadotropins (FSH) & (LH)

increasing sperm production

increase sex hormones

33
New cards

what is the hormone in prolactin

mammary gland

34
New cards

what is the effect on mammary gland in prolactin

increase milk production

35
New cards

hypothalamus produces hormones to

tell the pituitary gland hormones to release the hormones or not

36
New cards

hypothalamus release two hormones

RH (releasing hormone)

IH (inhibiting hormone)
