hormones exs phys

what are your blood pressure regulation hormones

antidiuretic, aldosterone

where does ADH get released from

posterior pituitary gland

where does ADH target

kidneys

what is the function of ADH

conserve H2O and reabsorb into kidneys

where is aldosterone released

adrenal cortext

where does aldosterone target

kidneys

what is the function of aldosterone

retain sodium, increase water retention

what are the blood glucose regulation hormones

insulin, glucagon

where is insulin and glucagon released

pancreases

where does insulin and glucagon target

all cells in the body

what is the function of insulin

promote glucose uptake, decrease blood sugar

where is the function of glucagon

increase blood sugar, promotes glucose mobilization

what type of hormone is insulin

storage hormone

what type of hormone is glucagon

mobilizing hormone

what are the mechanisms for glucose uptake at the cell

insulin binding, muscle contraction, hypoxia

what are ACE inhibitors

blocks angiotensin 1 to convert to angiotensin 2

what is the renin angiotensin aldosterone system

drop in BP triggers angiotensinogen renin converts to angiotensin 1 ACE converts to angiotensin 2

what are the products of angiotensin 2

stimulates aldosterone, potent vasoconstriction

what happens when there is an aldosterone release

increase Na retention increase H2O increase blood volume

what happens when potent vasoconstriction is present

narrowing of blood vessels increase BP

what are the sympathetic hormones

epinephrine, norepinephrine

where is epinephrine and norepinephrine released

adrenal medulla

where does epinephrine and norepinephrine target

most cells in the body

what is the function of epinephrine

increase HR, increase contractility, increase cardiac output, mobilize fuel

what is the function of norepinephrine

mobilize fuel, vasoconstriction increase BP

where is erythropoietin released

kidneys

where does erythropoietin target

bone marrow

what is the function of erythropoietin

RBC production and carry O2

where does the thyroid hormone get released

thyroid and targets all cells

what is the function of the thyroid

increase metabolic rate, HR, contractility

where is cortisol (stress hormone) released

adrenal cortex and targets most cells

what is the function of cortisol

fuel mobilization, anti-inflammatory

where is the growth hormone (anabolic) released

antipituitary gland and acts on all cells

what is the function of the growth hormone

promotes growth, increase protein synthesis, mobilize fuel

where is testosterone released

testes and targets sex organs and muscles

what is the function of testosterone

promote muscle growth

what happens to testosterone with excessive exercise

it decreases, muscle growth decreases
