vocab related to pituitary gland and stress response

TermDefinition
Glucocorticoid makes glucose available(increased blood sugar), messes with formation of memory
Glucocorticoid Outcomes(long term stress) 1. Proteins and fats get broken down and converted to glucose, leading to inc. BGL 2. Immune system may be suppressed
Mineralocorticoid Outcomes(long term stress) 1. Retention of NA+ and water by kidneys 2. Inc. BP and Blood volume
Epinephrine and Norepinephrine Outcomes(short term stress) Inc BP, BGL, Metabolism, Breathing, Alertness, Kidney function
Portal System capillary bed leading into another capillary bed
Stress leads to... heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, high cholesterol, suicide, depression
CC Endocrine and Neurosecretory Cell endocrine is longer lasting, neurosecretory is faster
Chromaffin, what is it? What does it release? neurosecretory, releases hormones into blood
Hormones from Anterior Growth Hormone(GH), Prolactin(PRL), Thyroid Stimulating Hormone(TSH), Adrenocorticotropic Hormone(ACTH)
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone stimulates thyroid hormone release
Growth Hormone promotes growth of body tissue, protein
Prolactin promotes milk production
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone stimulates hormone release by adrenal cortex, glucocorticoids
Hormones from Hypothalamus(posterior) Releasing and inhibiting hormones, ADH
Releasing and Inhibiting Hormones regulate hormone release from pituitary gland, produce oxytocin, uterine contraction, and milk secretion
Antidiuretic Hormone water reabsorption from kidney, vasocontraction to increase blood pressure
