HORMONES

QuestionAnswer
Anterior Pituitary Hormones TROPIC (4) 1. TSH 2. FSH 3. LH 4. ACTH
Anterior Pituitary Hormones NOT TROPIC (2) 1. GH 2. PRL
TSH Stimulus Thyroid-Releasing Hormone (TRH)
TSH Gland Anterior Pituitary
TSH Target cell Thyroid
TSH Response Secretion of T3 and T4 (BMR + Growth Rate)
FSH Stimulus Gonadtroponin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH)
FSH Gland Anterior Pituitary
FSH Target Cell Ovaries + Testes
FSH Response (F) Stimulates ovarian follicle maturation and estrogen production
FSH Response (M) Stimulates sperm production
LH Stimulus Gonadtroponin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH)
LH Gland Anterior Pituitary
LH Target cell Ovaries + Testes
LH Response (F) Triggers ovulation follicle maturation and estrogen production
LH Response (M) Stimulates testosterone production
ACTH Stimulus Corticotroponin-Releasing Hormone (CRH)
ACTH Gland Anterior Pituitary
ACTH Target Cell Adrenal Cortex
ACTH Response Stimulates the release of Glucocorticoids and Androgens
GH Stimulus Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone (GHRH)
GH Gland Anterior Pituitary
GH Target Cell Liver, muscle, bone, cortex
GH Response Stimulates body growth and protein synthesis mobilizes fat and conserves glucose
PRL Stimulus A decrease in the amount of Prolactin-inhibiting hormone
PRL Gland Anterior Pituitary
PRL Target Cell Mammary glands in the breasts
PRL Response Milk production
Posterior Pituitary Gland Hormones 1. Oxytocin 2. ADH
Oxytocin Stimulus Nerve impulses from Hypothalamic neurons in response to cervical/uterine stretch or suckling
Oxytocin Gland Posterior Pituitary
Oxytocin Target Cell Uterus and Mammary
Oxytocin Response Contractions and lactation
ADH Stimulus Nerve impulses from hypothalamic neurons in response to increase blood solute concentration or decreased blood volume
ADH Gland Posterior Pituitary
ADH Target Cell Kidneys
ADH Response Stimulates the kidneys to reabsorb more water, reducing urine output and conserving body water
Thyroid and Parathyroid Gland Hormones 1. T3 + T4 (thyroid 2. PTH (parathyroid)
T3 + T4 Stimulus Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
T3 + T4 Gland Thyroid
T3 + T4 Target Cell Most cells in body
T3 + T4 Response Increase BMR + Regulates tissue growth development
PTH Stimulus Low levels of Ca in blood
PTH Gland Parathyroid
PTH Target Cells Bones and kidneys
PTH Response Increase Ca by stimulating osteoclasts and making kidneys reabsorb Ca Also stimulates kidneys into converting vitamin D into Calcitriol
Adrenal Gland Hormones Cortex 1. Mineralocorticoids (mostly aldosterone) 2. Glucocorticoids (mostly cortisol) 3. Gonadocorticoids (mostly androgens)
Adrenal Gland Hormones Medulla Catecholamines
Mineralocorticoids (mostly aldosterone) Stimulus Angio tensin II release + increased K+ in the blood
Mineralocorticoids (mostly aldosterone) Gland Adrenal Cortex
Mineralocorticoids (mostly aldosterone) Target Cells Most body cells
Mineralocorticoids (mostly aldosterone) Response Increase in reabsorption of K+ and H2O by the kidenys Increase secretion of K+ in urine
Glucocorticoids (mostly cortisol) Stimulus ACTH
Glucocorticoids (mostly cortisol) Gland Adrenal Cortex
Glucocorticoids (mostly cortisol) Target Cells Most body cells
Glucocorticoids (mostly cortisol) Response Promotes the breakdown of fat an dprotein Promotes stress resistance and inhibits the immune response
Gonadocorticoids (mostly androgens) Stimulus ACTH
Gonadocorticoids (mostly androgens) Gland Adrenal Cortex
Gonadocorticoids (mostly androgens) Target Cells Bones, muscles, integuements and other tissues
Gonadocorticoids (mostly androgens) Response (F) Androgens contribute to body growth, pubic hair, and axillary hair and sex drive
Gonadocorticoids (mostly androgens) Response (M) Not much
Catecholamines (Epin + Norep) Stimulus Nerve impulses from preganglionic sympathetic fibers
Catecholamines (Epin + Norep) Gland Adrenal Medulla
Catecholamines (Epin + Norep) Target Cells Most body cells
Catecholamines (Epin + Norep) Response Mimics sympathetic NS (fight or flight)
Pancreas Hormones 1. Insulin 2. Glucagon
Insulin Stimulus Increase of blood glucose levels, parasympathetic NS stim
Insulin Gland Pancreas
Insulin Target Cell Most cells of the body
Insulin Response Drops your blood glucose levels
Glucagon Stimulus Decrease of blood glucose levels, sympathetic NS stim
Glucagon Gland Pancreas
Glucagon Target Cell Liver and Adipose
Glucagon Response Increases your blood glucose levels

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.
