Question
Answer
What two hormones make your body grow?   human growth hormone and insulinlike growth factor  
🗑
Where is hGH made?   HGH is released by the pituitary gland, skeletal muscle, liver  
🗑
What three hormones control the body's metabolism?   THyroid stimulating hormone and T3 & T4,  
🗑
Where does THS come from? Where does T3 and T4 come from?   TSH is released by the pituitary gland, the thyroid gland responds by releasing T3 and T4 which circulates in the blood,when it contacts cells, their consumption of energy and protein output increase  
🗑
What two hormones promote the reproductive system?   Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and Lutenizing hormone (LH)  
🗑
How does the pituitary gland control the reproductive system?   Pituitary makes FSH and LH, FSH causes the ovaries the make eggs, LH makes the cervix go through the ovulation process  
🗑
What hormone promotes the birthing process?   Oxytocin is released by the pituitary and circulates in the blood, when contacting the uterine cells, it causes contractions  
🗑
What hormone makes the body able to feed a child?   Prolactin is released by the pituitary gland, circulates through the bloodstream, makes contact with the cells in the mammary gland, they respond by secreting milk  
🗑
What two hormones impact the levels of blood sugar?   Glucagon and Insulin  
🗑
How does glucagon impact blood sugar levels   When BS is low, the pancreas releases glucagon, when glucagon reaches the liver, cells convert stored glycogen to sugar- releasing it into the bloodsream  
🗑
How does insulin impact the blood sugar levels?   Pancreas releases insulin, bloodstream circulates to body cells, cells respond by letting more sugar into the cells, lowering BS levels in the blood  
🗑
What two hormones create a "fight or flight" syndrome?   Epinephrine and norepinephrine  
🗑
What do epinephrine and norepinephrine do to the body?   Released by the adrenal gland 2) circulates in blood 3) contact with heart increasing rate, 4) contact with muscles, increasing metabolism, contact with lungs, dialating airway  
🗑
How does the pituitary gland control blood pressure?   Releases antidiuretic hormone- when in contact with kidney cells causes them to retain water, increasing blood volume and pressure  
🗑
