Hormones A&P II

Hormones of the Endocrine System

QuestionAnswer
Location and function of the Human Growth Hormone.. (GH) Location: Anterior Pituitary Gland Function: Control Growth of a body. Targets bone, muscle and adipose tissue
Location and function of the hormone Prolactin (PRL).. Location: Anterior Pituitary Gland Function:Stimulates the production of milk by the mammary glands, targets the mammary glands
Location and function of the Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Location: Anterior Pituitary Gland Function: Controls secretion of hormones by the thyroid gland, targets the thyroid
Location and function of the Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) Location: Anterior Pituitary Gland Function: Controls the secretion of hormones by the adrenal cortex, targets the outer portion of the adrenal gland
Location and function of the Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) Location: Anterior pituitary gland Function: response depends on the sex: Female:Stimulates maturation of an ovarian follicle and ovum Males: stimulates maturation of sperm in the testes A gonadotropin, which targets primary sex organs (Ovary & Teste
Location and function of the Luteinizing Hormone (LH) Location: Anterior Pituitary Hormone Function: Response depends on sex Female: Causes ovulation Male: Causes secretion of testosterone A gonadotropin which targets ovaries and testes.
Location and function of antidiuretic Hormone (ADH).. Location: Posterior Pituitary Gland Function: Targets distal convoluted tubules (of kidneys), Causes DCT's to reabsorb the water back into the bloodstream, and therefor controls water balance and (increases) blood pressure. Also called vasopressin.
Location and function of the Oxytocin Hormone. Location: Posterior Pituitary Gland Function: Targets uterine smooth muscle and breasts, causes uterine muscle contraction and milk production
Location and function of the hormone Thyroxine (T4) & Triiodothyronine (T3).. Location: Thyroid Gland Function: Increase basal metabolic rate by stimulating cellular oxygen use and produce ATP. REGULATE METABOLISM
Location and Function of the hormone calcitonin. . . Location: Thyroid Gland Function: Target bone cells(stimulates osteoblast activity and inhibits osteoclast activity) & distal convoluted tubules (causes secretion of excess calcium into urine.
Location and function of the hormone called Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) Location: Parathyroid Gland Function: Stimulated by the decrease of blood calcium,PTH causes an INCREASE IN BLOOD CALCIUM (and phosphate)and brings levels back to normal.
Location and function of the hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine. Location: Adrenal Glands Function: Target the heart (SA node to increase the heart rate) Targets smooth muscle, Peripheral arterioles(vasoconstriction, which increases blood pressure, and terminal brachioles (bronchodialation,inreases depth of breathing)
Location and function of the hormone Aldosterone. Location: Adrenal Cortex Function: Targets distal convoluted tubules (in the kidneys) causing reabsorption of water and electrolytes back into the blood. (increases blood pressure).
Location and function of the Hormone Cortisol. Location: Adrenal Cortex Function: Targets all cells, where it regulates glucose metabolism (along with T3&T4)
Location and function of the Hormone Glucagon. Location: Pancreatic Islets Function: Secretion is stimulated by decreased blood glucose levels (ie; fasting). Increases blood glucose levels (ie; causes breakdown of glycogen and releases glucose into the bloodstream).
Location and function of the Hormone Insulin. Location: Pancreatic Islets Function: Secretion in stimulated by increased blood glucose levels (ie; after eating). decreases blood glucose levels (ie; moves glucose from bloodstream into cells and promote glycogen formation in liver and skeletal muscle.
Location and function of the Hormone Melatonin.... Location: Pineal Gland Function: Production is stimulated by daylight (circadian rhythm), affects moods, emotion, etc.
Location and function of the Hormone Thymosin. Location: Thymus Gland Function: Affects the maturation of lymphocytes (T-Cells).
Location and function of the Hormone Estrogen. Location: Ovaries Function: Develops female secondary sex characteristics (at puberty) and maintains them throughout life. Targets mammary glands, internal and external genitalia and adipose tissue in hips thighs and buttocks.
Location and function of the Hormone Progesterone. Location: Ovaries Function: Prepares the uterine lining for implantation of the zygote.
Location and function of the Hormone Testosterone. Location: Testes Function: Develops male secondary sex characteristics at puberty and maintains them throughout life. Targets: hair follicles, genitalia, muscle and bone, and vocal cords in larynx (thicken, resulting in deeper voice).

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.
