Endocrine System
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Adrenaline | Epinephrine |
| Antidiuretic Hormone | Secreted by the pituitary, increases water reabsorption |
| Cortic/o | outer region |
| Corticosteriods | Hormones produced by the adrenal cortex |
| Cortisol | Produced by the adrenal cortex, increases blood sugar |
| Electrolyte | Mineral salt necessary for proper functioning of cells |
| Endocrine gland | A ductless gland that produces an internal secretion discharged into the blood or lymph and circulated to all parts of the body |
| Endocrinology | The science studying the endocrine glands and thier functions |
| Epinephonrine | Adrenaline |
| Estr/o | Female |
| estrogen | Female Hormone |
| Exocrine gland | A gland whose secretion reaches an epithelial surface either directly or through a duct |
| Gluc/o | Sugar |
| Glucagon | Hormone which increases blood sugar |
| Gonad/o | Sex Glands |
| Homeostasis | Tendency of an organism to maintain a constant internal enviroment |
| Hormone | A substance containing amino acid which originates in an organ or gland, moves through the blood to another part of the body, and stimulates it (by chemical action)to increased activity and secretion |
| Hypersecretion | Excessive amounts of hormonesare secreted |
| Hyposecretion | Inadequate amounts of hormones are secreted |
| Hypothalamus | Secretions stimulate the pituitary gland to release hormones |
| Insulin | Produced by the pancreas, acts to lower blood sugar |
| Norephinephrine | Nonadrenalin |
| Oxytocin | Stimulates the contraction of the uterus |
| Progesterone | Prepares the uterus for pregnancy |
| Somatotropin | Growth Hormone |
| Steroid | Complex subtance related to fats and of which many hormones are made |
| Testosterone | Male Hormone |
| Thyr/o | Thyroid gland |
| Thyroxine(T4) | Increases metabolism in cells |
| Vasopressin | Antidiuretic Hormone |
| -agon | To assemble, gather together |
| Kal/i | Potassium |
| -tropin | Stimulate; act on |
| -uria | Urination, condition of urine |
| Eu- | Good, normal |
| Oxy- | Swift; sharpe; acid |
| Pan/o | Other than normal |
| Tetra- | Four |
| Tri- | Three |
| Hyperthyroidism | Overactivity of the thyroid gland |
| Thyroid Carcinoma | Cancer of the thyroid |
| Hyper-parathyroidism | excessive production of parathyroid |
| Giantisim | hypersecretion of growth hormone from anterior lobe of the pituitary gland before puberity, leading to abnormal overgrowth of body and tissues |
| Diabetes Mellitus | Lack on insulin secretion or resistance of insulin in promoting sugar, starch, fat, metabolism in cells |
| Acromegaly | enlargement of the extremities cause by hypersecretion of the anterior pituitary after puberty |
| Panhypopituitarism | All pituitary hormones are deficient |
| FBS | Fasting blood sugar |
| FSH | Follicle-stimulating hormone |
| LH | Luteinizing Hormone |
| Cushing Syndrome | Grounps of symptoms produced by excess cortisol from the adrenal cortex |
| TSH | Thyroid stimulating hormone |
| Addison Disease | Hypofunctioning of the adrenal cortex |
| Na | Sodium |
| Parathyroidism | Condition of the parathyroid; deficent production of parathyroid hormone |
| Somatotropic Hormones(STH) | Anterior pit. lobe |
| Adrenocorticotropic Hormones (ACTH) | Anterior pit. lobe |
| Vasopression | Posterior pit. lobe |
| Thyroid Hormone (TTH) | Anterior pit. lobe |
| Gonadotropic Hormones | Anterior pit. lobe |
| Melanocyte-stimulatingHormone (MSH) | Between pit. lobes |
| Oxytocin | Posterior pit. lobe |
| Follicle-stimulating Hormone (FSH) | Anterior pit. lobe |
| Luteinizing Hormone (LH) | Anterior pit. lobe |
| Luteotropic Hormone (LTH) | Anterior pit. lobe |
| Adrenocorticotropic Hormone | Regulates functional activity of the adrenal cortex |
| Thyrotropic Hormone | Regulates the functional activity of the thyroid gland |
| Melanocyte-stimulating Hormone | Influences melanin formation |
| Luteinizing Hormone | Induces secretion of the estrogens, ovulation, and development of the corpus lutem |
| Follicle-stimulating hormone | Stimulates development of ovarian follicles and spermatogensis in the testes |
| Luteotropic Hormone | Maintains mature corpora lutea, induces secretion of progesterone, and induces secretion of milk ina fully developed mammary gland |
| Cortex | outer |
| Medulla | Inner |
| Estrogens | responsible for felame secondary sexual characteristics and cyclic changes in the vagina and uterus |
| Epinephrine | Constricks arteries, increases heart activity, dilates bronchi, increases level of gulcose in the body by stimulating liver, increases amount of fatty acid in blood, and diminishes activity of the gastrointestinal system |
| Cortisol & corticosterone | Regulate principally carbohydrate as well as fet and protien metabolism which affects essentially every cell in the body |
| Androgens | Regulate the development and maintenance of male secondary sexual characteristics |
| Aldosterone | Regulates metabolism of sodium, chloride, and potassium and therefore, regulates water and electrolyte balance of body |
| Norepinephrine | Dialates arteriole & ventrical which results in increased resistance to blood flow, elevating the blood pressure and slowing the heart |
| Progentrone | Responsible for changes in the uterine lining in second half of menstrual cycle, for develpoment of maternal placenta, and for development of mammary glands |
