Endocrine Glands
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Pituitary Glands- Name the 6 Anterior | a.Growth Hormone(GH) b.Prolactin(PRL) c.Thyroid Stimulation Hormone(TSH) d.Adrenocorticotropic Hormone(ACTH) e.Follicle Stimulating Hormone(FSH) f.Luteinizing Hormone(LH) |
| Pituitary Glands- Name the 2 Posterior | a.Antidiuretic Hormone(ADH) b.Oxytocin(OT) |
| Growth Hormone (GH) | Promotes lengthwise growth of long bones |
| Prolactin (PRL) | milk production, lactating mammary glands |
| Thyroid Stimulation Hormone (TSH) | contains gland secretion, Thyrotropin releasing hormone |
| Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) | Adrenal glands, Glucocorticoids, Cortisone |
| Follicle Stimulating Hormone(FSH)/Luteinizing Hormone (LH) | Gonadotropins, sperms cell, ovarian follicle |
| Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) | regulates water, reabsorption by kidneys into the blood |
| Oxytocin (OT) | uterine contraction during labor, stimulates milk excretion |
| Parathyroid Gland secretes | Parathyroid hormone-raises blood calcium level |
| Pineal Gland secretes | Melatonin- responsible for day/night cycles |
| Thyroid Gland secretes | Triidothyronine (T3), Thyroxine (T4)-regulates metabolism Calcitonin-lowers levels of blood calcium |
| Thymus Gland secretes | Thymosin-stimulates T-cell development |
| Adrenal Gland secretes | Epinephrine/Norepinephrine-increase blood glucose, increase metabolic activity, constricts blood vessels Corticosteroids-promote glucose synthesis, reduce inflammation |
| Pancreas secretes | Alpha cells-Glucagon(increase blood glucose) Beta cells-Insulin (decrease blood glucose) |
| REMEMBER | Hypothalamus triggers anterior pituitary to secrete hormones |
