  1. Islets of Langerhans

2
New cards

  1. What are the hormones produced my islets of langerhans do

  1. Control blood sugar levels

3
New cards

  1. What are the 2 hormones released by the islets of langerhans

  1. Insulin

  2. Glucagon

4
New cards

  1. Where is insulin secreted from

  2. What does insulin do

  3. What does insulin promote

  1. Beta gells

  2. Lowers blood glucose levels

  3. Promotes the formation of glycogen in the liver

5
New cards

  1. Where is glucagon secreted from

  2. What does glucagon dk

  1. Alpha cells

  2. Raises blood glucose levels by changing glycogen to glucose

6
New cards

  1. What type of hormones do the ovaries and testes produce

  1. Reproductive hormones

7
New cards

  1. What does the thymus gland do

  1. Mature T lymphocytes

8
New cards

  1. Where is the pineal gland

  2. What does it produce

  1. Attached to the base of the brain

  2. Makes melatonin

9
New cards

  1. What are the 7 reproductive hormones

  1. Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH)

  2. Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)

  3. Luteinizing Hormone (LH)

  4. Estrogen

  5. Progestrone

  6. Testosterone

  7. Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG)

10
New cards

  1. Where is gonadotropin releasing hormone produced

  2. What does it cause in both male and females

  1. Produced in the hypothalamus

  2. Causes FSH and LH to be released from the anterior pituitary gland in males and females

11
New cards

  1. Where is follicle stimulating hormone produced

  2. What does it cause in males (2)

  3. What does it cause in females (4)

  1. Produced by the anterior pituitary gland

  2. In males - cause the sex organs to develop and sex cells to be produced

  3. In females - causes the sex organs to develop and sex cells to be produced, stimulates follicle to mature, stimulates the follicle to produce estrogen

12
New cards

  1. Where is luteinizing hormone produced

  2. What does it cause in males

  3. What does it cause in females (3)

  1. Produced in the anterior pituitary gland

  2. In males - cause testosterone production by the interstitial cells

  3. In females - causes ovulation, helps with estrogen production, causes the mature follicle to develop into the corpus luteum and causes it to produce progessterone

13
New cards

  1. Where is estrogen produced

  2. What does it cause (2)

  1. Produced in the ovary (follicle)

  2. Causes development of the female reproductive system

  3. Causes the development of the secondary sex characteristics

14
New cards

  1. Where is progesterone produced

  2. What does it cause the uterus to do

  1. Produced in the ovary (corpus luteum

  2. Causes the wall of the uterus to thicken

15
New cards

  1. Where is testosterone produced

  2. What does it promote

  3. What does it cause (2)

  1. Produced in the testes (interstitial cells)

  2. Promotes sperm production

  3. Causes development of the male reproductive system

  4. Causes the development of the secondary sex characteristics

16
New cards

  1. Where is human chorionic gonadotropin produced

  2. What does it help with

  3. What does it allow the corpus luteum to do

  1. Produced by the placenta

  2. Helps to maintain the corpus luteum and prevent menstruation

  3. Allows the corpus luteum to continue to produce progesterone

17
New cards

  1. What does progesterone help maintain

  1. Maintains the endometrium so it can support the fetus
