Question | Answer |
---|---|
Diabetes Insipidus | Hyposecretion of ADH |
Osteoporosis | Hyposecretion of Estrogen |
Hypercalcemia | Hyposecretion of Calcitonin |
The Posterior Pituitary Gland is AKA | The neurohypophysis |
A Hormone that stimulates another endocrine gland to grow and secrete it's hormones | A Tropic Hormone |
T3 and T4 cannot be released w/o this | Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) |
ACTH is | Adrenocorticotropic Hormone |
This hormone stimulates the development of and egg follicle in women and sperm cells in men | The Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) |
This hormone stimulates the development of corpus luteum | The Luteinizing Hormone (LH) |
The function of the endocrine system | Communication and control to maintain homeostasis |
The glands that release their substances through ducts into cavities or onto surfaces | Exocrine glands |
This gland produces ADH and Oxytocin | The Hypothalimus |
Another name for tissue hormones | Prostaglandins |
This mechanism amplifies changes in response to a stimulus | Positive Feedback Mechanism |
Gland that produces most of the hormones in the endocrine system | Anterior Pituitary Gland |
Hormones that are released by the posterior Pituitary Gland | ADH and Oxytocin |
Hormone that stimulates breast development during pregnancy | Prolactin |
Hormone that affects the skin and the Adrenal Cortex | Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (MSH) |
Hormone that promotes normal development of all body cells in children | The Growth Hormone (GH) |
Organ affected by ADH | Kidneys |
Organ(s) affected by Melatonin | Ovaries and Optic Nerve |
These protien hormones deliver to cell membrane receptors via "lock and key" mechanisms | First Messengers |
Class of hormones requiring a second messenger | Protien Hormones |
The "G" protien changes __?__ into cAMP | ATP |
A second messenger that delivers info inside the cell that regulates the cell's activities | cAMP |
Hypoglycemia | Hypersecretion of Insulin |
Hormone class that does not require a second messenger | Steroid Hormone |
Organ(s) affected by Thymosin | All organs of the immune system |
Organ(s) affected by Glucagon | The Liver |
Organ(s) affected by Oxytocin | The Uterus and Breasts |
Graves Disease is the: | Hypersecretion of T3 and T4 |
The "stress effects" are caused by: | Hypersecretion of epinephrine and norepinephrine |
Increased water retention is caused by | Hypersecretion of aldosterone (mineralocorticoids) |
Hypersecretion of the APP releases too much | Releasing and Inhibiting Hormones |
The maculinizing hormone | Testosterone |
The 3 parts of sperm | Head, Midpiece, and Tail |
The Bulbourethral Gland is AKA | The Cowper's Gland |
An organ consisting of 2 dorsal columns called corpora cavernosa and 1 ventral column called corpus spongiosm | The Penis |
Sperm are formed in the | Seminiferous Tubules |
The primary organ of the female reproductive system | The Ovaries |
A woman's first period | Menarche |
Hormone that stimulates uterine contractions | Oxytocin |
The immature stage of a female sex cell | Oocyte |
The layers of the uterus from inside out | Endometrium, Myometrium, and Perimetrium |
Structure that releases mostly progesterone and small amounts of estrogen | The Corpus Luteum |
The 2 organs that produce androgens | The Testes and Adrenal Cortex |
The "Turkish Saddle" is AKA | The Sella Tursica |
The pine-cone shaped gland located in the brain | The Pineal Gland |
Structure that releases Chorionic Hormones | The Placenta |
Diabetes Mellitis is caused by | Hyposecretion of insulin |
Addison's Disease is caused by | Hyopsecretion of Glucocorticoid Hormones (Cortisol) |
