| Question | Answer |
| Hypothalamus | Location: Brain
Hormones: Many (no names)
Function: stimulate or Depress effects on Pituitary |
| Pituitary (Hypophysis) | Location: Brain
Hormones: In Anterior and Posterior Pituitary
Function: Master Gland |
| Anterior Pituitary (Adenohypophysis) | 1. Growth hormone-bones, muscle, soft tissue
2. Thyroid stimulating hormone-formation/function of thyroid gland
3. Adreno Corticotropic hormone-formation/function of adreno cortex
4. Follicle stimulating hormone- formation of ova/sperm |
| Anterior Pituitary Continued... | 5. Luteinizing hormone-manufacture/secrete progesterone, estrogen, testosterone
6. Prolactin-function of milk producing and breast tissue |
| Posterior Pituitary (Neurohypophysis) | Hormones-1. ADH- Anti Diaretic Hormone - Causes water retention
2. Oxytocin - uterine contraction during labor/delivery and breast feeding |
| Thyroid *iodide necessary for formation of hormones* | Location- Ventral aspect of the Trachea (windpipe)
Hormones- Triiodothyroid T3 - regulation of metabolic rate.
Thyroxine T4 - more you have the faster metabolic rate. |
| Parathyroids | Location- embedded in each lobe of the thyroid
Hormones- PTH-Parathyroid hormone
Function- bones releases calcium when calcium is low |
| Adrenal Cortex (outer portion) | Location- one on top of each kidney (STEROIDS)
1.Mineralocorticoids-aldosterone-sodium retention potassium loss
2.Glucocorticoids-cortisol-regulate use of protein, carbs, fats
3.Gonadocorticoids-Androgen-testosterone and -estrogen-2nd sex characteristi |
| Adrenal Medulla (inner portion)FIGHT OR FLIGHT | "Catacholamines"
Location- on on top of each kidney
Hormones- 1.Adrenaline(epinephrine)
2.Noradrenaline(Norepinephren)
Both Dilate centrally (Head trunk veins etc) Constrict peripherally (limbs)
HR ^ BP ^ RESP ^ |
| Islets of Langerhans | Location- Pancreas
Hormones- 1. Insulin- allows glucose to enter cells
2. Glucagon- allow glycogen back into glucose |
| Ovaries | Location- female pelvic
hormones- 1.Estrogen- 2nd sex characteristics
2. Progesterone- thickening uterine wall. |
| Testes | Location- male pelvic
Hormone- testosterone
Function- male sex characteristics |
| Pineal Gland | Location- Brain
Hormone- Melatonin
Function- Secretes in darkness. Responsible for awake/sleep. Biorhythms |
| Placenta | Location- Female pelvic
Hormones- 1.Progesterone - thick uterine wall
2.HCG-Human Corionic Gonadatropin |
| Erythropoietin | Location- kidney
Function- from RBC through bone marrow |
| ANP - Atrial Naturietic Peptide | Location- Heart
Function- Diaretic H20 loss + sodium loss |
