q
a
Hypothalmus   links our endocrine and nervous systems together. It drives the endocrine system.  
🗑
Pituitary gland   It receives signals from the hypothalamus. This gland has two lobes, the posterior and anterior lobes. The posterior lobe secretes hormones that are made by the hypothalamus. The anterior lobe produces its own hormones,  
🗑
Thyroid gland   The gland is critical to the healthy development and maturation of vertebrates and regulates metabolism.  
🗑
Adrenal gland   The gland is made up of two glands: the cortex and medulla. These glands produce hormones in response to stress and regulate blood pressure, glucose metabolism, and the body's salt and water balance.  
🗑
Pancreas   Is responsible for producing glucagon and insulin. Both hormones help regulate the concentration of glucose (sugar) in the blood.  
🗑
Gonads   The reproductive gonads testes(male),ovaries(female), produce steroids that affect growth and development and also regulate reproductive cycles and behaviors. The major categories of gonadal steroids are androgens, estrogens and progestins.  
🗑
Hypothalmus produce what hormone   Oxytoxin and ADH  
🗑
Oxytoxin hormon fctn   Contract uterine muscle during labor. Releasing milk from mammary gland ( breast feeding)  
🗑
ADH fctn   stimulate water reabsorption by the kidney;also constrict blood vesse  
🗑
Posterior pituitary?   Produceces ADH and oxytocin  
🗑
Anterior Pituitary   Produces 5 galand hormones such gh, Proclain, tsh, acth, fsh and gonadotropic hormone.  
🗑
TSH   stimulate the the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormone  
🗑
ACTH   Stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete steroids. especially cortisol  
🗑
GH   Stimulate the growth of bone and soft tissue ; stymulates the synthesis of glucose during periode of fastingalso called samatotropin.  
🗑
FSH   Stimulate the ova and sperm.  
🗑
LH   Causing ovulation in women and stimulates the secretion ofprogesterone in women and testerone in men.  
🗑
Prolactin   stimulates the breast to develop and produce milk.  
🗑
Ovary   Produces estrogen and progresterone in woman  
🗑
Testis   Produces testosterone  
🗑
Parathyroid gland   Produces Parathyroid hormone  
🗑
Thyroid hormone (T3,T4)   TrIIodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine. tetralodothyronlne (T4) are secreted by the thyroid gland: control metabolic rate and regulate growth and development  
🗑
Produces Parathyroid hormone   Secreted by the parathyroid glands: Increases plasma calcium by stimulating osteoclastic activity. Increasing reabsorption of calcium by the kidneys. and by Increasing the absorption of dietary calcium  
🗑
Adrenal medulla   Secretes catecholamines (epinephrine) and small amounts of norepinephrine Stimulates the "flght-or-flight" response; Increases blood glucose Epinephrine Is also called adrenalin  
🗑
Adrenal cortex cortisol   A glucocorticoid that helps regulate glucose. fat. and protein metabolism;  
🗑
Aldosterone   A mineralocorticoid that causes the kidneys to reabsorb sodium and water and to excrete potassium: helps regulate fluid and electrolyte balance  
🗑
Sex hormones   Especially the androgens (testosterone): helps develop the secondary sex  
🗑
Insulin   Secreted by the beta cells of the Islets of Langerhans: helps regulate the metabolism of carbohydrates. proteins. and fats: lowers blood glucose  
🗑
Glucagon   Secreted by the alpha cells of the Islets of Langerhans: raises blood glucose  
🗑
Estrogens and progesterone   Secreted by the ovaries  
🗑
Testosterone   Secreted primarily by the testesThe chief male androgen: stimulates the development of sperm and the secondary sex characteristics In the male  
🗑
Thymoslns   Stimulates the maturation of the T-Iymphocytes  
🗑
Melatonin   Secreted by the pineal gland and helps set the biorhythms
