Question
Answer
Anterior lobe produces 7 hormones::   GH, PRL, TSH, FSH, LH, ACTH, and MSH  
🗑
The hormones that are tropic are:   TSH, FSH,LH, & ACTH  
🗑
GH is   growth hormone, it regulates cell growth  
🗑
Prolactin is   PRL, it controls milk production and secretion  
🗑
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone is:   TSH; it regulates the production & release of thyroid hormones  
🗑
Follicle-stimulating hormone is:   FSH; it stimulates gamete production  
🗑
Leutenizing hormone is:   LH; sitmulates hormone production in gonads;  
🗑
LH is called ICSH in:   males  
🗑
Adrenocorticotropic hormone is:   ACTH; regulates production of hormones in adrenal cortex  
🗑
Melanocyte stimulating hormone:   MSH; stimulates MELANIN dispersal in skin to regulate pigmentation.  
🗑
MSH is made in:   pars intermedia; not active in adults  
🗑
Posterior lobe is the:   neurohypophysis or pars nervosa  
🗑
The pons nervosa consists of cells called:   PITUICYTES, which are similar to neuroglia  
🗑
The pons nervosa is not really an endocrine gland because:   it does not symthesize hormones  
🗑
The hormones associated with the posterior pituitary: are actually produced in the:   neurosecretary cells of the hypothalamus and then pressed into the special pituicles of the posterior pituitary  
🗑
Posterior lobe releases:   Oxytocin and Antidiuretic Hormones  
🗑
Oxytocin is for:   smooth muscle contraction ie: uterine flabor pains  
🗑
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is:   VASPORESSIN-causes kidneys to remove water from urine & return it to the blood  
🗑
The th;yroid is located:   just below the larynx  
🗑
Thyroid consists of R & L lateral:   lobes, which lie on eighor side of the trachea  
🗑
Lobes (of thyroid) are connected to:   a mass of tissue called the ISTHMUS that lies in front of the trachea & below the cricoid cartilage  
🗑
The Thyroid contains FOLLICULAR cells that:   reach the surface of the lumen of the follicle and PARAFOLLICULAR cells (C-cells) that are tucked in-between the follicular cells & the basement membranes of the follicular cells  
🗑
The follicular cells manufacture:   THYROXINE (T4) AND TRIIODOTHYRONINT (T3)  
🗑
The T4 & T3 hormones are referred to as:   thyroid hormones, which are regulators of metabolic rate.  
🗑
Thyroid hormonesf are derivatives of:   the amino acid tyrosinenin  
🗑
Para follicular cells produce:   CALCITONIN (CT), which lowers calcium levels in blood  
🗑
