Question
Answer
Two lobes of Pituitary gland   anterior/posterior lobes  
🗑
How many hormones are secreted from Posterior lobe Pit 'gland. What are they?   Two:Oxytosin and ADH (anti-diuretic hormone)  
🗑
Function of Oxytosin   Contract smooth muscle  
🗑
Hyper/Hypo dysfunction of Oxytosin   None  
🗑
Examples function Oxytosin   'Females:labor pains, contract smooth muscle of uterus, Let down of milk for nursing (not production of milk) contracts smooth muscle of mammary glands  
🗑
Function of ADH   Helps body re-absorb more water from kidney tubules (nephrons). specifically Loop of Henley. Can still reabsorb water at the distal  
🗑
Disease of Hypo Secretion of ADH   Diabetes incipitous  
🗑
Normal Urine Output   1.5L - 2L  
🗑
Diabetes Incipitous urine output   around 30L  
🗑
How does ADH dysfunction affect kidneys?   There is nothing to tell the nephrons to reabsorb more water so it stays in the urine  
🗑
Hypo Secretion of ADH symptoms/effects   Shock, very low blood pressure. Usually tumor on pituitary, if tumor removed, fluid goes back to normal  
🗑
Hyper-secretion ADH   Decrease in urine output  
🗑
ADH hypersecretion symptoms/effects   HTN  
🗑
The anterior pituitary promotes   growth (mitosis). repair, general cell division  
🗑
Children dysfunction of hyper secretion ADH   gigantism, epificial plate has not closed, excessive growth is in length  
🗑
Hyper-secretion of ADH in adults: dysfunction is   Acromegoly  
🗑
Acromegoly caused by   tumor in PosteriorPitutitary  
🗑
Signs of Acromegoly   Thicker longer bones  
🗑
Hypo-secretion ADH in children   Pituitary Dwarfism; if not caught early will cause MR (mental retardation)  
🗑
Growth Hormone is a   protein, can be made in a lab. Children with pituitary dwarfism treated with growth hormone  
🗑
Hormones secreted from Anterior Pituitary: 6   Prolactin,4 tropic hormones (TSH,ACTH,LH,FSH), growth hormone  
🗑
TSH   thyroid stimulating hormone: stimulates the secretion of thyroid hormones  
🗑
ACTH   Adrenocorticotrophic hormone: acts on the adrenal cortex to promote the release of cortisol  
🗑
LH and FSH   gonadotrophins which act on the ovaries and testes. Follicle Stimulating Hormone; LH stimulates production of estrogen and progesterone from the ovary. Males: FSH: stimulates sperm production; LH stimulates testosterone production by the testes.  
🗑
LH   Luteinizing Hormone  
🗑
FSH   Follicular Stimulating Hormone  
🗑
Trophic hormones   act to stimulate secretion of hormone from the target gland and to maintain its function. High concentrations will cause the gland to enlarge.  
🗑
Acts chiefly to cause milk production in the breasts   Prolactin  
🗑
Growth hormone has   widespread effects, necessary for growth and metabolism throughout life  
🗑
"the conductor of the endocrine orchestra"   Pituitary Gland  
🗑
Pituitary gland lies under the   hypothalamus  
🗑
Another name for ADH   Vasopressin  
🗑
Oxytocin and ADH are produced   within nerve cells in the hypothalamus  
🗑
Oxytocin and ADH are released   directly into the bloodstream.  
🗑
