Term | Definition |
---|---|
Acid Base Balance | Kidney and Lungs |
Acid Reflux | Causes heartburn |
ACTH | stimulates the adrenal glands |
Addison | is lower adrenal cortex hormones ( aldosterone and cortisol) - bronzing- build up of melanin. Dehydration, immune suppression, HTN, Hypoglycemia |
ADH | Vassopressin ( anti-diuretic Hormone) the inability to produce ADH ( diabetes insipidus) results from large amounts of water intake - targets kidneys |
ADH | secreted by Posterior Pituitary |
Adrenal cortex | Function is long term response to stress, sex hormones, also body hair and libido |
Adrenal Gland | Located on top of kidney - 2 parts - medulla and cortex - simulated by ACTH |
Adrenal Medulla | Produces epi and norepi (fight and flight) and raises blood glucose |
Aldosterone | is a mineralcorticoid - stimulates kidneys to re-absorb sodium and release potassium. Adrenal Cortex |
Alveioli | Air sacs of lungs. Has surfacant |
Amylase | enzyme that digests starch |
Apnea | stop breathing |
Bile | Stored in gallbladder |
Blood Level Hormone | the blood level of the target gland hormone exerts inhibition of the pituitary and hypothalamus hormones ( thyrotropin, thyroxine) |
Brocha | Motor speech area |
Calcitonin | is secreted by the thyroid gland - works with PTH |
CO2 | regulates respitory activity |
Corpeus Leutum | follicle that looses an egg turns into this |
Cortisol | is a glucorticoid-raises blood sugar, decreases inflammatory response ( arthritis and bursitis), increased levels provide no immunity to infection, produced by adrenal cortex |
Cushing | Increased adreanal hormones ( aldosterone and cortisol) - obese trunk- moon face, HTN |
Diabetes Insipidus | Lacks ADH |
Diabetes mellitus | Polyuria, Polyphagia, polydipsia |
Digestion | completed in small intestine |
distal Tubule | tubular secrection occurs here |
Diuretics | Lowers water absorption - makes you pee |
Dwarfism | results from too little growth hormone during childhood |
Ectopic Pregnancy | occurs in fallopian tubes |
Edocrine Gland Function | ductless - secretes hormones directly into blood or target organ |
EKG | test that records electricity |
Endometrum | sloughs off during menstration |
Exocrine gland function | ducts that secrete their chemicals into them from the ducts that go to the organ |
Feed or Breed | Parasympathetic - vagus nerve - ACH |
Fight or Flight | Sympathetic - glucose and 02, inhibits digestion - epi and norepi |
FSH | Spermogenesis - sex hormone - anterior pituitary |
Glucagon | Antagonistic hormone of insulin. Released and produced by pancreas |
Goiter | Develops in Thyroid gland - lack of iodine |
Growth Factors | Hormones that stimulate cell division and mitosis |
Growth Hormone | responsible for soft tissue and bone |
HCL | Found in the stomach |
Hyperthyroidism | Graves Disease - oversecretion of thyroid hormone |
Hypothalamus | controls body temperature, heart rate, and water balance. Controls anterior and posterior pituitary glands |
Hypothyroidism | In adults is Myxedema |
Induced active immunity | happens with a vaccine |
Insulin | manufactured by Islets of langerhorn |
Ketacidosis | metaboism of fat, produces ketones in urine ( bun) |
large intestine | absorbs water, eleminate waste |
Leptin | full feeling |
LH | Leutinizing hormone - promotes androgen ( testosterone production) sex hormone |
inguinal Lymph Nodes | located in groin |
Melatonin | produced in pineal gland - regulates sleep |
Nephrons | urine making structure, makes renin for blood volume |
Oogenesis | occurs in ovaries / cortex |
Ovulation | every 14 days |
Oxytocin | Attached to HG - estogen Secreted by the posterior pituitary. Positive feedback. Target organ is Uterus |
Pancreas | releases glucogon and insulin. Produces both also |
Parathyroid | causes increase in calcium |
PH of Blood | 7.4 |
Phrenic | the Nerves that innevates diaphragm |
Plaque | Fatty layer underneath |
Pneumontnorax | collapsed lung |
PTH | regulates calcium |
Red Bone Marrow | site of stem cell production |
Renin | Hormone for blood volume made by nephrons, causes vasoconstriction ( blood pressure and blood volume) it releases aldosterone from adrenal cortex |
Renin-angiotensin System | raises BP |
SA Node | pacemaker |
Spermatogenesis | occurs in semiferous tubule ( testes) |
Stroke Volume | Amount of blood pumped with each heartbeat |
Surface Tension | Tendency to form water drop |
Testosterone | Main androgen - GnRH ( Gonadtropic release hormone) |
Thymus gland | provides immunity |
Thyroid Hormone | increases metabolic rate |
Thyroxine Mineral | in Thyroid - increases metabolic rate, regulates growth and development |
Type 1 diabetes | Causes are virus, enviornment, and auto immune. Pancreas does not produce insulin - dependent |
Urea | breakdown of amino acids |
Vas Deferns | is cut away during vaseectomy |
Wenicke | General Interpretive area - written and spoken |
