Hormones

This set all things hormones

TermDefinition
Oxytocin Stimulates contraction of uterus and mammary gland cells
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) Promotes retention of water by the kidneys
Growth Hormone (GH) Stimulates growth (especially bones) and metabolic functions
Prolactin (PRL) Stimulates milk production
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) Stimulates the production of ova (egg) and sperm
Luteinizing hormone (LH) Stimulates the ovaries and testes
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) Stimulates the thyroid gland
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) Stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete glucocorticoids
Melatonin Involved in rhythmic activities (daily and seasonal)
Thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) Stimulate and maintain metabolic processes
Calcitonin Lowers blood calcium levels
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) Raises blood calcium level
Thymosin Stimulates T-cell development
Epinephrine and norepinephrine Increase blood glucose; increase metabolic activities; constrict certain blood vessels
Glucocorticoids Increase blood glucose
Mineralocorticoids Promote reabsorption of Na+ and excretion of K+ in kidneys
Insulin Lowers blood glucose
Glucagon Raises blood glucose
Androgens Support sperm formation; development and maintenance of male secondary sex characteristics
Estrogens Stimulate uterine lining growth; development and maintenance of female secondary sex characteristics
Progesterone Promotes uterine lining growth
Pituitary gland (posterior lobe) hormones Oxytocin & Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)`
Pituitary gland (anterior lobe) hormones Growth hormone, prolactin, folicle-stimulating hormone, leutinizing hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone,
Pineal gland hormone melatonin
Thyroid gland Thyroxine (T4) & Triiodothyronine (T3) & Calcitonin
Parathyroid gland parathyroid hormone
thymus gland thymus gland
Adrenal gland (medula) epinepherine & norepinepherine
Adrenal gland (cortex) Glucocorticoids & Mineralicorticoids
Pancreas Insulin, Glucogon
testes androgens
Ovaries estrogens and progesterone
Oxytocin is regulated by the nervous system
antidiuretic hormone is regulated by water/salt balance
melatonin is regulated by light/dark cycles

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.
