Question | Answer |
---|---|
Pineal Gland produces what? | melatonin, required for sleep (tryptophan -> serotonin ->melatonin) |
Another name for the posterior pituitary | neurohypophysis |
Another name for the anterior pituitary | adenohypophysis |
Embryology of the anterior pituitary | rathke's pouch (roof of mouth) |
Embryology of the posterior pituitary | Diencephalon->hypothalamus. Derived from neuroectoderm (infundibulum hypothalami) |
Connection of the anterior pit. to the hypothalamus | hypophyseal portal system |
Connection of the posterior pit. to the hypothalamus | infundibulum (neural stalk) |
Hormones of the anterior pituitary? | ACTH, FSH, GH, LH, MSH, Prolactin, TSH |
Hormones of the posterior pituitary? | ADH(supraoptic nucleus), Oxytocin(paraventricular nucleus) |
ADH's function | controls water balance in the kidney's |
Oxytocin's function | Breast milk ejection, uterus contraction |
Deficiency of ADH | diabetes insipidus |
Hormones of the hypothalamus | TRH, CRH, GnRH, GHRH, Somatostatin, Dopamine |
Thyroid hormones | T3, T4, Calcitonin |
Pancreas hormones | Insulin, Glucagon |
Adrenal medulla hormones | NE and Epinephrine |
Kidney hormones | Renin, 1,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol |
Adrenal Cortex hormones | Cortisol, Aldosterone, Adrenal androgens |
Ovaries hormones | Estradiol, Progesterone |
Corpus Luteum hormones | Estradiol, Progesterone |
Placenta hormones | HCG, Estriol, Progesterone, HPL |
ACTH target organ | Zona fasciculata of the Adrenal Cortex |
FSH target organ | ovary & testes; FSH must be actively inhibited by Inhibin |
GH AKA Somatropin target organ | All tissues except cartilage |
LH target organ | ovary and testes |
MSH target organ | Melanocytes |
Prolactin target organ | mammaries |
TSH target organ | Thyroid Follicular Cells |
Effect of ACTH | Release of glucocorticoids such as cortisol. gluconeogenesis when under stress or not eating. Shut down immune system |
Effects of FSH | Females: Release primary follicle/month and releases estrogen in proliferative phase; Males: Stimulates spermatogenesis |
Effects of GH | burns fat, not carbs; somatomedins(IGF) from liver is the GH for cartilage and can inhibit GH being produced through anterior pituitary or hypothalamus |
Effects of LH | Females: Ovulation, Forms corpus leuteum to make progesterone(secretory phase); Male: Testosterone from Leydig cells |
Effects of MSH | In basement layer of epidermis stimulated by UV light |
Effects of Prolactin | Makes milk (must be actively inhibited) and breast developement |
Effect of TSH | T4 -> T3; T3 is more powerful and faster acting while T4 is more abundant; Maintains BMR |
Excess and deficiency of ACTH | Excess = Cushings; Deficiency = Addisons |
Excess and deficiency of FSH | Excess = Multiple oocytes; Deficiency = Infertility |
Excess and deficiency of GH | Excess = Gigantism (Before growth centers close) or Acromegaly (After growth centers close); Deficiency = Dwarfism |
Excess and deficiency of LH | Excess = Forms corpus leuteum when up; Deficiency = degenerates CL when down |
Excess and deficiency of MSH | Excess = hyperpigmentation; Deficiency = Albinism |
Excess and deficiency of Prolactin | Excess = too much milk; Deficiency = too little milk |
Excess and deficiency of TSH | Excess = Hyperthyroidism/Graves; Deficiency = Myxedema/Hypothyroidism |
PTH produced where? | Parathyroid glands (4 posterior to thyroid) |
Calcitonin produced where? | parafollicular cells of thyroid |
Effect of PTH | Takes Ca out of bone and into blood, decreases phosphorus in blood |
Effect of calcitonin | Pulls Ca out of blood and puts into bone, increases phosphorus in blood |
Excess of PTH | HyperPTH = kidney stones, osteopenia, browns tumor, rugger jersey spine, salt and pepper skull |
Excess of calcitonin | Tetany (Chvostek's sign) |
Embryo of adrenal cortex | mesoderm derivative |
Embryo of adrenal medulla | neural crest cell |
Adrenal cortex is made up of what and what do each produce (GFR)? | Glomerulosa produces mineral corticoids such as aldosterone, Fasciculata produces glucocorticoids such as cortisol, Reticularis produces androgens such as sex hormones |
Adrenal medulla produces what from what type of cells? | Chromaffin cells secrete NE and E to break glycogen into glucose to raise blood sugar |
FSH does 2 major things | picks primary follicle and releases estrogen |
Estrogen 2 major things | Thickens endometrial lining(proliferative phase, thickens blood, increase's core temp) and peaks on 14th day to release LH |
LH does 2 major things | ovulation and forms corpus leuteum |
Corpus Leuteum does 2 major things | makes progesterone(secretory phase) and makes inhibin which stops FSH and no more follicles |
Corpus Leuteum has 1 of 2 fates which are what? | Dies when no fertilization or makes progesterone in presence of HCG |
HCG comes from where and does what | made by placenta after fertilization and stimulates corpus leuteum to make progesterone |
FSH does what in spermatogenesis | It starts it |
LH's role in spermatogenesis | Releases testosterone from interstitial cells of Leydig |
Testosterone's role in spermatogenesis | Mature's sperm |
Sperms route | made in somniferous tubules, matured in epididymis and stored in Vas Deferens |
Inhibin's role in spermatogenesis | Shut's of spermatogenesis |
Where is inhibin made in males | Sertoli cells make it |
What raises testes? | Cremaster muscle |
What wrinkles scrotum? | Dartos fascia |
Failure of testes to descend | Cryptorchism |
Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide does what in the GI tract? | Relax's smooth muscle, inceases intestinal, panceatic and gastrin secretion |
Enkephalins does what in the GI tract? | Contraction of SM |
Neuropeptide Y does what in the GI tract? | Relaxation of SM |
Substance P does what in the GI tract? | Contraction of SM and Increases saliva |
Gastrin comes from where? | G cells in the antrum |
CCK comes from where? | Duodenal and jejunal endocrine I cells |
Secretin comes from where? | S cells in the duodenal glands |
GIP comes from where? | duodenal and jejunal glands K cells |
5 Actions of CCK | contraction of GB, secretion of pancreatic enzymes-lipase, amylase and proteases, secreation of bicarbonate ions, trophic effects on GB & pancreas, inhibition of gastric emptying and increases gastric emptying time |
ACh E or I? | Excites |
NE, E & Dopamine E or I? | Excites |
Serotonin E or I? | Excites |
