AP Biology Hormones

human and plant hormones vocab

QuestionAnswer
which hormone stimulates contraction of uterus and mammary glands in the nervous system of the pituitary gland? oxytocin
which hormone promotes retention of water by kidneys in the water/salt balance of the pituitary gland? Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH)
which hormone stimulates growth and metabolic function in the hypothalimic hormones of the anterior pituitary gland? Growth Hormone (GH)
which hormone stimulates milk production and secretion in the hypothalmic hormones of the anterior pituitary gland? Prolactin(PRL)
which hormone stimulates production of ova and sperm in the hypothalamic hormones of the anterior pituitary gland? Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
which hormone stimulates ovaries and testes in the hypothalamic hormones of the anterior pituitary gland? Luteinizing hormone (LH)
which hormone stimulates thyroid gland in the thyroxine in blood and hypothalamic hormones of the anterior pituitary gland? Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
which hormone stimulates and maintain metabolic processes in the TSH of the thyroid gland? Triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4)
which hormone lowers blood calcium level in the calcium in the blood of the thyroid gland? Calcitonin
which hormone raises blood glucose level in the glucose in the blood of the pancreas? Glucagon
raise blood glucose level; increase metabolic activities; constrict certain blood vessels in the nervous system of the adrenal medulla glands? Epinephrine and norepinephrine
raise blood glucose level in the ACTH of the adrenal cortex glands? Glucocorticoids
Promote absorption of Na+ and excretion of K+ in kidneys in the K+ in the blood of the adrenal cortex glands? Mineralocorticoids
Support sperm formation; promote development and maintneance of male secondary sex characteristics in the FSH and LH of the testes gonads? Androgens
Stimulate uterine lining growth; promote development and maintenance of female secondary sex charcteristics in the FSH and LH of the ovaries gonads? Estrogens
Promotes uterine lining growth in the FSH and LH of the ovaries gonads? Progesterone
Involved biological rhythms in the light/dark cycles of the pineal gland? Melatonin
Stimulates T lymphocytes in unknown area of the thymus? Thymosin
Stimulates stem elongation root growth, cell differentiation, and branching; regulates development of fruit; enhances apical dominance; functions in photropism and gravitoropismin [embryo of seed, meristems of apical buds, young leaves] Auxin
Affect root growth and differentiation; stimulate cell division and growth; stimulate germination; delay senescense [synthesized in roots ad transported to other organs] Cytokinins
Promote seed and bud germination, stem elongation, and leaf growth; stimulate flowering and development of the fruit; affect root growth and differentiation [Meristems of apical buds and roots, young leaves, embryo] Gibberellins
Inhibits growth; closes stomata during water stress; counteracts breaking of dormancy [leaves, stems, roots, green fruit] Abscisic acid
Promotes fruit ripening , opposes some auxin effects; promotes or inhibits growth and development of roots, leaves, and flowers, depending on species [Tissues of ripening fruits, nodes of stems, aging leaves and flowers] Ethylene
Inhibits root growth; retards leaf abscission; promotes xylem differentiation [seeds, frutis, shoot, leaves, and floral buds] Brassinosteriods

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
