| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| endocrine glands | secrete hormones directly into blood stream |
| exocrine glands | send chemical substances (tears, sweat, milk, saliva) via ducts to outside of the body |
| tetralodothyrine is what? | T4 cell |
| triiodothyronine is what? | T3 cell |
| calcitonin | stimulate calcium to leave the blood and enter the bone (bone disposition) |
| adrenal cortex (outer) | secretes corticosteriodsor steroids, chemical derived from cholestrol |
| adrenal medulla | secretes catecholamines chemicals derived from amino acids |
| glucocorticoids | influence metabolism of sugars, fats and proteins(cortisol) and anti-inflammatory(cortisone) |
| mineralocorticoids | regulates electrolytes |
| aldosterone | reabsorption of sodium and excretion of potassium |
| gonaclocorticoids | androgens(testosterone) and estrogen |
| islets of langerhans | insulin; promotes movement of glucose into cells and promotes storage of glycogen |
| glucagon | promotes movement of glucose into the blodd by breaking down glycogen stored in liver cells |
| anterior lobe(pituitary gland) | adenohypophysis; produce own hormone |
| posterior lobe(pituitary gland) | neurohypophysis; store hormones from hypothalamus |
| testes | secrete testosterone; maintain germ cell formation and secondary sex characteristics |
| ovaries | secrete estrogen and progesterone; maintain menstral cycle, secondary sex characteristics, preperation of uterus for pregnancy |
| T3 | increase metabolism |
| T4 | increase metabolism |
| calcitonin | decreas blood calcium |
| glucocorticoid(cortisol) | increase blood glucose |
| mineralocorticoid(aldosterone) | increase sodium reabsorption |
| sex hormones(androgen and estrogen) | sexual characteristics |
| epinephrine(adrenaline) | sympathomimetic |
| norepinephrine(noradrenaline) | sympathomimetic |
| insulin | lowers blood sugar(glucose to glycogen) |
| glucagon | raises blood sugar(glycogen to glucose) |
| adrenocorticotropic(ACTH) | stimulates adrenal cortex |
| Gonadotropin(FSH); follicle-stimulating hormone | stimulates ovaries and testes |
| lutenizing hormone(LH) | promotes ovulation; stimulates testes |
| somatotropin; growth hormone(GH) | stimulates growth |
| thyrotropin; thyroud stimulation hormone(TSH) | stimulates thyroid gland |
| prolactin(PRL) | stimulates milk production |
| aden/o | gland |
| adren/o or adrenal/o | adrenal gland |
| gonad/o | sex glands |
| andro/o | male |
| calc/o or calci/o | calcium |
| hypercalcemia | excessive calcium in the blood |
| hypocalcemia | low calcium in the blood |
| estr/o | female |
| -emia | blood condition |
| -tropin | stimulating the function of |
| -uria | urine condition |
| hyperthyroidism/ Graves disease | overactivity of the thyroid gland |
| what is radioactive iodine used for? | to cure graves disease |
| hypothyroidism | underactivity of the thyroid gland |
| myxdema | advanced hypothyroidism in adulthood |
| cretinism | extreme hypothyroidism during infancy and childhood leads to lack of normal physical and mental growth |
| thyroid carcinoma | cancer of the thyroid gland |
| cushing syndrome | group of signs and symptoms produced by excess cortisol from the adrenal cortex |
| addison disease | hypofunctioning of the adrenal cortex |
| diabetes mellitus(DM) | lack of insulin secretion or resistance of insulin in promoting sugar, starch and fat in metabolism in cells |
| type 1 diabetes | autoimmune; early child onset; insulin |
| type 2 diabetes | adult onset; islet cells are not destroyed; diet controlled sometimes insulin |
| acromegaly | hypersecretion of growth hormone fromt he anterior pituitary after puberty; leads to enlarged extremities |
| gigantism | hypersecretion of growth hormone from the anterior pituitary before puberty; leading to abnormal overgrowth of body tissues |
| dwarfism | congenitalhyposecretion of growth hormone; hypopituitary dwarfism |
| panhypopituitarism | deficiency of all pituitary hormones |
