Question
Answer
Hormones   Increasing or decreasing cellular processes. Are transported in the blood, derived from amino acids or steroids. They target organs and cells in low blood concentration  
🗑
Endocrine System   works with the nervous system to maintain homeostasis. Endocrine is involved primarily with the physiologic function. Functional=hormone molecules include antistressor, maintain electrolytes, H2O,blood nutrients,metabolism & energy,& our form-long acting  
🗑
Functional aspects of Endocrine   Defence against stressors, maintainance of electrolyte, water and nutriants balance in blood. It regulates cellular metabolism and energy balance- endocrine control is slow, long  
🗑
Hypersecretion   abnormal increase in endocrine secretion/ excessive release of hormones-tumors are often responsible  
🗑
Hypothalamus/ Neuroendocrine organ=Crown or Brow Chakra   Mind/body/never link. Translates nerve impulses into hormone secretion by endocrine glands- blood pressure, body temp., fluid and electrolyte balance- Primary influence over the pitutary gland which turns controls on for other endocrine glands w/ hormones  
🗑
Endocrine disorders   1)some cancers produce hormonelike substances that cause endo. syndromes 2)abnormal decrease in hormone receptors on target cells 3)target cells w/ abnormal metabolic responses to hormon-receptors  
🗑
Hyposecretion   insufficent release of hormone secretion- abnormalities in immune function, tumors can be the cause  
🗑
Limbic System   Located in the interior of the cerebrum and connects to the hypothalamus-emotional response  
🗑
Pituitary gland= Crown/Brow Chakra   secretes hormones that regulate growth, fluid balance,lactation and childbirth. Main source of tropic hormones that have a stimulating effect on other endocrine glands. The Hypothalamus regulates the pituitary gland  
🗑
Posterior Pituitary Lobe   Not a true endocrine gland because it only stores and releases hormones but does not synthesesize them. Secret 2 hormones  
🗑
Anterior Pituitary Lobe   Secdretes 7 major hormones-Growth/somatotropin hormone(grow,repair and rebuild,stores fat, raises blood glucose) Anterior Stimulates most body cells to increase size and divide. Major target bones and muscle.  
🗑
Adernal Glands= Root Chakra   2 Adrenal glands-on top of ea. kidney,inner portion=medulla/ outer portion=cortex-  
🗑
Endocrine Glands = Chakra system   ductless glands=secrete hormones in blood stream EI;Pituitary,thyroid,parathyroid,adrenal,pineal and thymus.  
🗑
Endocrine Tissue   pancreas,ovaries,testes produce hormones in exocrine products.  
🗑
Exocrine gland   duct glands=secrete in areas salivary,sweat  
🗑
Endorphins   Peptide hormones that mainly work like morphoine to supress pain. In fluence mood, producing a mild euphoric feeling- runners high  
🗑
Half-life   The amount of time required for half of a hormone to be eliminated from the blood stream  
🗑
Negative feed back system   A control mechanisum that provides a stimulus to decrease a function  
🗑
Tropic/trophic hormone   hormones produced by the endocrine glands that affect other endocrine glands=Pituitary gland is the primary source of trophic hormone  
🗑
ACTH-Adrenocorticotropic hormone   Tropic hormone that promotes & maintain normal growth & development of adrenal cortex stimulating androgens ei, testosterone. stress/mod. fevers/hypoglycemia increase ACTH  
🗑
THS-Thyroid stimulating hormone   trophic hormone promotes & maintains growth/develpoment of thyroid gland & controls the release of thyroid hormones in a negative feedback system. THS-increases in cold temps  
🗑
Follicle-stimulating hormone   AnteriorPituitaryHormone-TropicHormone-influences positively by cold hydrotherapy-stimulates growth and maturity of ovarian follicles- in men secretes estrogen stimulates sperm production  
🗑
Luteinizing hormone   Tropic hormone in women causes ovulation/ in men production and secretion of testosterone  
🗑
Prolactin   Women-breast development and milk production when stimulated by the central nervous system. Involved in the immune system  
🗑
Melanocyte stimulating hormone   acts on pigment cells and adrenal glands.  
🗑
Posterior Pituitary Hormones   Made up by Hypothalamic neurons and stored in the the posterior pituitary gland  
🗑
Oxytocin   stimulates smooth muscle contraction, especially in the uterus. Child birth, releases milk, bonds mother and child- both sexes supports bonding between couples and ehances parental behavior  
🗑
ADH-Antidiuretic hormone/vasopressin   Stimulates the kidneys to remove water from urine and release it into the blood stream. Release of ADH- pain, anxiety,nicotine,traquilizers and low blood pressure. ADH increases BP, decrease Perspiration  
🗑
Thyroid gland=Throat Chakra   Regulates metabolism and maintains oxygen consumption.  
🗑
Isthum   the bridge that connects the right and left lobe of the thyroid gland. The gland lies on the treachea below the thyroid cartlidge  
🗑
Hyperthyroidism   autoimmune disorder-decrease of thyroid releaseing hormone from hypothalamus. perimenopausal women 35-45.  
🗑
Parathyroid Glands   4 pea sized bodies located on the posterior surface of the thyroid lobes-"parathormone"=combined w/vitD decreases the amt of Ca excreted  
🗑
Pancreas-Solar Plex   Behind stomach @ the thoracolumbar junction and navel. Excocrine&Endocrine aids in digestion and hormone islets of Langerhans=insulin and glucagon & amylin(agnostic to insulin) somatostatin-inhibits all hormones.  
🗑
Islets of Langerhans   Secrete insulin which lowers glucose levels  
🗑
Insulin   Pancreas releases insulin when levels of blood sugar, amino acids&Fatty acids rise. Supplies energy.  
🗑
Glucagon   Alpha cells of the islets of Langerhans secrete this hormone=increases blood glucose(opposite of Insulin response). Growth hormones stimulate these cells -part of the feedback loop in hypoglycemia. High amino acids raise glucagon  
🗑
Hypothalamic release   massage supports hypothalamic release of growth-releasing hormones  
🗑
Hypothalamus supporter   Loving relationships support growth hormone function in the adult  
🗑
Type II Diabetic basics   Insulin is released when levels of blood sugar, amino acids and fatty acids rise  
🗑
Epinephrine- Adrenaline   Adrenal Medulla= parasympathetic nervous system/ sympathetic autonomic nervous system. Epinephrine hormone extends the fight or flight response.  
🗑
Cortisol   The resistance phase of Selyes general adaptation response is most supported by this hormone-synthesizes amino acids into glucose when the body has no fat or glycogen stored for energy.Massage directly effects for sleep  
🗑
Androgens   Male sex hormones  
🗑
Pineal Gland- 3rd Eye Crown/Brow Chakra   Endocrine gland most sensitive to light and dark circles/ sleep. Inside brain w/in the diencephalon and surrounded by pia matter-in sight and awareness  
🗑
Massage influences Endocrine System   Influence on the autonomic nervous system  
🗑
Massage effect on Hypothalamus   stimulates  
🗑
Prostaglandins   Tissue hormones- chronic inflamation condition.  
🗑
Thyroid disorder   Dry skin, joint pain,edema.  
🗑
Andolsterone   Mineralocorticord-sodium&potassium regulating steroid. Causes kidneys to reabsorb more sodium and water and excrete more potassium and hydrogen  
🗑
Erythropoietin   If oxygen levels drop the kidneys produce this to simulate the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow  
🗑
Melatonin   regulates the rhythms of the body  
🗑
Testes and Ovaries-Root Chakra   Male and female gonads located in pelvic area and produce sex hormones identical to those of the adrenal cortex but in much larger amounts.  
🗑
Progesterone   sex hormone  
🗑
Thymus- Heart/Spleen Chakra   Deep to the sternum/4-5thoracic vertrea. Considered part of the lymphatic system - endocrine secretions  
🗑
