QuestionAnswer
Norepinephrine Same as Epinephrine, except it affects the whole body instead of just the heart. Fight or flight
hGh Human Growth Hormone Promotes synthesis and secretions of small protein hormones called IGF's
IGF Insulin-like Growth Secreted by liver, skeletal muscle, cartilage, bones, and other tissues. Stimulates protein synthesis, helps maintain muscle and bone mass, and promotes healing of injuries and tissue repair, and enhances the breakdown of facts
FSH Follicle Stimulating Hormone FSH starts development of ovarian follicles in females and stimulates sperm production in men
LH Luteinizing Hormone Starts ovulation in women. It stimulates the secretion of testosterone in testes
Oxytocin During delivery, enhances contraction of smooth muscle cells in the uterus - after delivery, it stimulates milk ejection
Epinephrine Increases heart rate and flow to heart, liver, skeletal muscles, and adipose tissue, dictates airways and lungs, increase blood level of glucose and fatty acids
Insulin Lowers blood glucose level when too high by moving glucose into cells
GHRH Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone Promotes secretion of hGh
GHIH Growth Hormone Inhibiting Hormone Suppresses hGh
Cortisol Breaks down protein. Glucose formation. Breakdown of fats. Anti-inflammatory effects. Depression of immune responses.
PRL Prolactin initiates and maintains milk production in mammorys.
TRH Thyrotropin releasing hormone Controls TSH secretion depending on blood levels of thyroid hormones - works via negative feedback
Glucagon Increases blood glucose level when it falls below normal
ADH Antidiuretic hormone Causes kidneys and retain more water, decreasing urine volume. Also decreases the water lost through sweating.
GnRH Gonadotropin-releasing hormone Stimulates release of FSH and LH
TSH Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Stimulates the synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland
Estrogen and Progesterone Regulates Menstrual cycle, maintain pregnancy, and prepare mammary glands for lactation. Establishes and maintains the feminine body shape
T3 and T4 Thyroid Hormones Plays a role in body temperature. Stimulates protein synthesis, increases use of glucose/ fatty acids for ATP production, increases breakdown of fats, enhances cholesterol excretion, reducing blood cholesterol levels
Compare and Contrast Exocrine and Endocrine glands Endocrine glands secrete hormones inside the body without ducts. Exocrine glands secrete "stuff" outside the body likes tears, sweat, oils, etc. and use ducts
Explain the role of target cells and receptor sites Target cells are specific cells that have receptor sites that respond only to certain hormones.
Locations of receptor sites for lipid soluble and water soluble hormones Lipid soluble receptor sites are located inside the cells so the hormones diffuse through the membrane whereas water soluble sites on the outside which is where the hormones bind to
Describe 3 ways hormones are secreted 1. Other Hormones - When GnRH is released, it causes LH and FSH to be released as well. 2. Nerve Impulse
Cushings disease (Symptoms) -Excessive fat build up in upper body, "moon-face", thin and fragile skin that bruises easily and heals poorly. -Severe fatigue, weak muscles, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and sometimes anxiety and depression
Cushings disease (Causes) -Happens when the body is exposed to too much cortisol, whether by taking it in a medicine or the body over-producing it on its own. -Tumors on the Pituitary gland are what causes most cases. -Tumors on the Adrenal gland also causes some cases
Addisons Disease Cause: -When the body doesn't produce enough cortisol Symptoms: -Fatigue, weight loss and decreased appetite, darkening of skin, hypoglycemia, nausea, diarrhea, and/or vomitting
Type 1 Diabetes Cause: -The body produces little to no insulin. Symptoms: -Increased thirst and urination, extreme hunger, weight loss, fatigue, and blurred vision
Type 2 Diabetes Causes: -The cells in your body become resistant to insulin Symptoms: -They develop slowly. Numbness in feet and/or hands, excessive thirst, hunger, and urination, feeling tired, trouble with skin, gum, and/or bladder infections
Hyperinsulinism Cause: -High level of insulin in the blood. Symptoms: -Very low blood sugar
Lacto Milk
Acromegaly Enlarged and distorted extremities of the face
Acidosis Accumulation of acids in the blood
Anorexia Loss of appetite
Cachexia State of malnutrition
Diaphoresis Excessive sweating
Emaciation Extremely thin
Gangrene Death of tissue secondary to low oxygen levels
Hypophysectomy Removal of Pituitary gland
Neuropathy Disease of nerves
