Hormone: antidiuretic ADH Gland: Action: Gland:hypothalamus; Moves to posterior pituitary for storage
Hormone:oxytocin Gland: Action: Gland:Posterior Pituitary;Initiates laber, initiates milk let down
Hormone:antidiuretic hormone ADH Gland: Action: Gland:Posterior Pituitary; Decreases urine formation. Acts on kidney tubules. Vasocontriction
Hormone:growth hormone GH Gland: Action: Gland:Anterior Pituitary; Stimulates bone and skeletal muscle growth
ADH disorders: Hyposecretion-diabetes insupidus; Hypersecretion- fluid retention, brain edema
GH disorders: Hyposecretion: dwarfism; Hypersecrection: Gigantism, Acromegaly
Hormone:Prolactin PRL Gland: Action: Gland:Anterior Pituitary; Stimulates milk production
Hormone:Follicle stimulating hormone FSH Gland: Action: Gland:Anterior Pituitary; Tropic; Stimulates ovarian follicles, production of estrogen, stimulates sperm production
Hormone:Luteinizing hormone LH Gland: Action: Gland:Anterior Pituitary; Tropic; Triggers ovulation
Hormone:Adrenocorticotropic hormone ACTH Gland: Action: Gland:Anteror Pituitary; Tropic Promotes release of glucocorticoids and androgens from adrenal cortex
Hormone:T3 triiodothyronine / Gland, Action Gland: Thyroid; Increases metabolism, blood pressure, regulates tissue growth
Hormone:T4/Gland,Action Gland: Thyroid; Increases metabolism, blood pressure, regulates tissue growth
What are the three thyroid disorders? Graves Disease-hyperthyroidism; Cretinism-hypothyroidism(infants); Myxedema-hypothyroidism(adults)
Hormone:Calcitonin/Gland, Action Gland: Thyroid; Childhood regulation of blood calcium levels through uptake by bone.
Hormone:Parathyroid Hormone PTH / Gland, Action Gland: Parathyroid; Increases blood calcium levels through action on bone, kidneys, and intestine.
Hormone: Insulin / Gland, Action Gland: Pancreas; released by beta cells; reduces blood sugar levels.
Hormone: Glucagon / Gland, Action Gland: Pancreas; release by alpha cells; increases blood sugar levels.
What disorder is associated with the pancreas? Type 1 DM -autoimmune destruction of beta cells, deficiency of insulin / Type 2 DM - resistance of peripheral tissues to accept insulin and inadequate insulin secretion.
Hormone: Epinephrine / Gland, Action Gland: Adrenal Medulla; Short-term stress response; increased blood sugar, vasoconstriction, increased heart rate, blood diversion
Hormone: Norepinephrine / Gland, Action Gland: Adrenal Medulla; Short-term stress response; increased blood sugar, vasoconstriction, increased heart rate, blood diversion
Hormone: Glucocorticoids / Gland, Action Gland: Adrenal Cortex; Long-term stress response: increased blood glucose levels, blood volume maintenance, immune suppression.
Hormone: Mineralocorticoids / Gland, Action Gland: Adrenal Cortex; Long-term stress response: blood volume and pressure maintenance, sodium and water retention by kidneys.
Hormone: Melatonin / Gland, Action Gland: Pineal Gland; Circadian timing

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.
