Question | Answer |
Epinephrine (adrenaline)
Norepinephrine (noradrenaline/Levophed) | Adrenal medulla
Increases heart rate
increases force of cardiac muscle
contractions
increases breathing rates
increases blood pressure
decreases digestive activity |
Aldosterone | Adrenal
cortex
causes water retention
maintains blood volume and blood pressure |
Cortisol | Adrenal cortex
increases blood glucose levels
affects protein and fat metabolism |
Androgens | Adrenal Cortex
Stimulate the early development of reproductive organs
Supplement primary sex hormones from the gonads |
Growth Hormone (GH) | Anterior Pituitary (blood)
Increases size and division of cells |
Prolactin (PRL) | Anterior Pituitary (blood)
Sustains milk production afterbirth |
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) | Anterior Pituitary
Controls secretion of thyroxin from thyroid gland |
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) | Anterior Pituitary
Controls cortical secretion from the adrenal gland
Negative feedback loop
Circadian (24hr) pattern |
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) | Anterior Pituitary
Females: development of follicles in ovaries
Males: development of sperm |
Luteinizing Hormone (LH) | Anterior Pituitary
Females: Controls hormones that promote release of eggs |
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) | Posterior Pituitary
Causes kidneys to conserve water
Increases blood pressure |
Oxytocin | Posterior Pituitary
Contracts muscles in the uterine wall |
Insulin | Pancreas
Decrease blood sugar levels |
Glucogon | Pancreas
Raises Blood sugar levels |
Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) | Parathyroid Gland
Increases blood CALCIUM levels
Decreases blood PHOSPHATE levels
Affects bones, kidneys, intestines |
Thyroxine (T4) | Thyroid
Increases energy release from cells
Increases growth rate
Stimulates nervous system |
Triiodothyoronine (T3) | Thyroid
Same as T4 but 5x stronger!!!
Increases energy release from cells
Increases growth rate
Stimulates nervous system |
Calcitonin | Thyroid
Lowers blood Calcium and Phosphate |
PRIMARY
DYSFUNCTION | Disorder with the ENDOCRINE GLAND |
SECONDARY DYSFUNCTION | Disorder with the PITUITARY |
TERTIARY DYSFUNCTION | Disorder of the HYPOTHALYMUS |
SIADH | Posterior Pituitary Dysfunction
Hypersecretion of ADH
ADH is released despite normal or low plasma osmolarity. Inappropriate free water retention results in hypoosmolar state with dilutional hyponatremia |
Diabetes Insipidus | Hyposecretion of ADH or lack of response of kidney to ADH
Too little ADH results in loss of free water, dehydration.
Decreased water reabsorption in renal tubules. Decreased intravascular fluid volume leads to increases serum osmolality (hypernatre |
