| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| hormone released by pineal glands | melatonin |
| hormone produced by adrenal gland | catelcholamines, epinephrine, norepinephrine |
| epinephrine | adrenaline |
| norepinephrine | noradrenaline |
| endocrine | ductless glands-secrete into blood or tissue |
| exocrine | glands with ducts-secrete onto surfaces or specific areas |
| major cause of hypersecretion | tumors |
| insulin | lowers blood glucose levels |
| lack of insulin causes... | diabetes mellitus |
| hyposecretion | condition of too little hormone |
| hypersecretion | condition of too much hormone |
| master gland | pituitary gland |
| pancreas | produces insulin & glucagon |
| hyperthyroidism | increases metabolism |
| hypothyroidism | decreases metabolism |
| tissue hormones | prostaglandins |
| sex steroids | gonadocorticoids |
| sex hormones | female-progesterone, estrogen; male-testosterone |
| anterior pituitary hormones | GH, ACTH, FSH, LH, PRL, MSH, TSH |
| GH growth hormone | stimulates growth |
| ACTH adrenocorticotropic hormone | normal growth & development of adrenal cortex, releases glucocorticoids & androgens |
| FSH follicle stimulating hormone | female-stimulates growth & maturation of ovarian follicles |
| FSH follicle stimulating hormone | male-stimulates sperm production |
| LH lutenizing hormone | female-causes ovulation & stimulates progesterone production in ovaries |
| LH lutenizing hormone | male-stimulates production of testosterone in testes |
| PRL prolactin | in males but active mostly in females, breast development & initiates milk production |
| MSH melanocyte-stimulating hormone | pigment cells of skin |
| TSH thyroid-stimulating hormone | growth & development of thyroid gland & controls release of thyroid hormone |
| endocrine glands... | release hormones |
| hypothalmus gland | link between both nervous system & endocrine |
| addisons disease | low cortisol levels |
| parathyroid releases... | parathyroid hormone |
| thyroid releases... | calcitonin |
| calcitonin | puts calcium into bones |
| parathyroid | pulls calcium out of bones |
| cushings disease | elevated levels of glucocorticoid |
| cushings syndrome symptoms | buffalo hump, edema, hyperglycemia, muscle weakness |
| cushings syndrome symptoms | suppressed immunity, osteoporosis, acne |
| cushings syndrome symptoms | increased facial hair, possible diabetes mellitus |
| hypoparathyroidism | causes low levels of serum calcium |
| hypocalcemic tetany | loss of sensation, muscle twitches, uncontrolled spasms, convulsions, spasms of skeletal muscles |
| antidiuretic hormone | holds urine in |
| ectomy | means "to remove" |
| GAS | sympathetic state, being stressed |
| adrenal glands location | top of kidneys |
| pineal gland location | inside brain within diencephalon -'third eye' |
| pituitary gland location | in brain anterior to hypothalamus |
| type I diabetes | insulin dependent |
| type II diabetes | non insulin dependent |
| cretinism | low metabolic rate, retarded growth & sexual development, frequently retardation |
