| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Acid Base Balance | Kidney and Lungs |
| Acid Reflux | Causes heartburn |
| ACTH | stimulates the adrenal glands |
| Addison | is lower adrenal cortex hormones ( aldosterone and cortisol) - bronzing- build up of melanin. Dehydration, immune suppression, HTN, Hypoglycemia |
| ADH | Vassopressin ( anti-diuretic Hormone) the inability to produce ADH ( diabetes insipidus) results from large amounts of water intake - targets kidneys |
| ADH | secreted by Posterior Pituitary |
| Adrenal cortex | Function is long term response to stress, sex hormones, also body hair and libido |
| Adrenal Gland | Located on top of kidney - 2 parts - medulla and cortex - simulated by ACTH |
| Adrenal Medulla | Produces epi and norepi (fight and flight) and raises blood glucose |
| Aldosterone | is a mineralcorticoid - stimulates kidneys to re-absorb sodium and release potassium. Adrenal Cortex |
| Alveioli | Air sacs of lungs. Has surfacant |
| Amylase | enzyme that digests starch |
| Apnea | stop breathing |
| Bile | Stored in gallbladder |
| Blood Level Hormone | the blood level of the target gland hormone exerts inhibition of the pituitary and hypothalamus hormones ( thyrotropin, thyroxine) |
| Brocha | Motor speech area |
| Calcitonin | is secreted by the thyroid gland - works with PTH |
| CO2 | regulates respitory activity |
| Corpeus Leutum | follicle that looses an egg turns into this |
| Cortisol | is a glucorticoid-raises blood sugar, decreases inflammatory response ( arthritis and bursitis), increased levels provide no immunity to infection, produced by adrenal cortex |
| Cushing | Increased adreanal hormones ( aldosterone and cortisol) - obese trunk- moon face, HTN |
| Diabetes Insipidus | Lacks ADH |
| Diabetes mellitus | Polyuria, Polyphagia, polydipsia |
| Digestion | completed in small intestine |
| distal Tubule | tubular secrection occurs here |
| Diuretics | Lowers water absorption - makes you pee |
| Dwarfism | results from too little growth hormone during childhood |
| Ectopic Pregnancy | occurs in fallopian tubes |
| Edocrine Gland Function | ductless - secretes hormones directly into blood or target organ |
| EKG | test that records electricity |
| Endometrum | sloughs off during menstration |
| Exocrine gland function | ducts that secrete their chemicals into them from the ducts that go to the organ |
| Feed or Breed | Parasympathetic - vagus nerve - ACH |
| Fight or Flight | Sympathetic - glucose and 02, inhibits digestion - epi and norepi |
| FSH | Spermogenesis - sex hormone - anterior pituitary |
| Glucagon | Antagonistic hormone of insulin. Released and produced by pancreas |
| Goiter | Develops in Thyroid gland - lack of iodine |
| Growth Factors | Hormones that stimulate cell division and mitosis |
| Growth Hormone | responsible for soft tissue and bone |
| HCL | Found in the stomach |
| Hyperthyroidism | Graves Disease - oversecretion of thyroid hormone |
| Hypothalamus | controls body temperature, heart rate, and water balance. Controls anterior and posterior pituitary glands |
| Hypothyroidism | In adults is Myxedema |
| Induced active immunity | happens with a vaccine |
| Insulin | manufactured by Islets of langerhorn |
| Ketacidosis | metaboism of fat, produces ketones in urine ( bun) |
| large intestine | absorbs water, eleminate waste |
| Leptin | full feeling |
| LH | Leutinizing hormone - promotes androgen ( testosterone production) sex hormone |
| inguinal Lymph Nodes | located in groin |
| Melatonin | produced in pineal gland - regulates sleep |
| Nephrons | urine making structure, makes renin for blood volume |
| Oogenesis | occurs in ovaries / cortex |
| Ovulation | every 14 days |
| Oxytocin | Attached to HG - estogen Secreted by the posterior pituitary. Positive feedback. Target organ is Uterus |
| Pancreas | releases glucogon and insulin. Produces both also |
| Parathyroid | causes increase in calcium |
| PH of Blood | 7.4 |
| Phrenic | the Nerves that innevates diaphragm |
| Plaque | Fatty layer underneath |
| Pneumontnorax | collapsed lung |
| PTH | regulates calcium |
| Red Bone Marrow | site of stem cell production |
| Renin | Hormone for blood volume made by nephrons, causes vasoconstriction ( blood pressure and blood volume) it releases aldosterone from adrenal cortex |
| Renin-angiotensin System | raises BP |
| SA Node | pacemaker |
| Spermatogenesis | occurs in semiferous tubule ( testes) |
| Stroke Volume | Amount of blood pumped with each heartbeat |
| Surface Tension | Tendency to form water drop |
| Testosterone | Main androgen - GnRH ( Gonadtropic release hormone) |
| Thymus gland | provides immunity |
| Thyroid Hormone | increases metabolic rate |
| Thyroxine Mineral | in Thyroid - increases metabolic rate, regulates growth and development |
| Type 1 diabetes | Causes are virus, enviornment, and auto immune. Pancreas does not produce insulin - dependent |
| Urea | breakdown of amino acids |
| Vas Deferns | is cut away during vaseectomy |
| Wenicke | General Interpretive area - written and spoken |
