Question | Answer |
Contains the islets of Langerhans | Pancreas |
Secretes Cortisol, Aldosterone, and Testosterone | Adrenal Medulla |
Its hormonal secretion is controlled by ACTH | Adrenal Cortex |
Secretes iodine-containing hormones | Thyroid Gland |
Secretes Releasing Hormones | Hypothalmus |
Secretes ACTH, TSH, prolactin, growth hormone, and the gonadotropins | Anterior Pituitary Gland |
Also called the adenoohypophysis | Anterior Pituitary Gland |
Secretes both insulin and glucagon | Pancreas |
Part of the fight-or-flight system; secretes catecholamines | Adrenal Medulla |
The neurohypophysis; secretes ADH and oxytocin | Posterior Pituitary Gland |
Stimulates osteoclastic activity to increase blood calcium | Parathyroid Hormone |
Regulates Metabolic Rate | T3 and T4 |
The only hormone that lowers blood glucose | Insulin |
Stimulates osteoclastic activity causing bone resorption | Parathyroid Hormome |
Stimulates the breast to produce milk; also called lactogenic hormone | Prolactin |
The hormonal component of the fight-or-flight response | Epinephrine |
The neurohypophyseal hormone that controls water balance | ADH |
Stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete steroids | ACTH |
Also called somatotropic hormone | Growth Hormone |
The mineralocorticoid that is called the salt-retaining hormone | Aldosteron |
Not true of the hypothalmas | Connected to the neurohypophysis by the portal capillaries |
The posterior pituitary gland | Releases ADH and oxytocin |
ACTH, TSH, and gonadotropins are | Secreted by the adenohypophysis |
Cortisol | Is secreted by the adrenal cortex in response to ACTH |
The adrenal medulla | Secretes catecholamines |
Aldosteron | Is a mineralocorticoid secreted by the adrenal gland |
The pancreas | Secretes both insulin and glucagon |
The function of insulin | Lower blood glucose |
T3 and T4 | Regulate basal metabolic rate (BMR) |
Suppressesthe Sectretion of ACTH | Elevated plasma cortisol |
Growth hormone, cortisol and epinephrine | Raise blood glucose |
Prolactin | Does not cause milk let-down reflex |
T3 and T4 | Contain iodine |
Epinephrine and norepinephrine | Participates in the fight-or-flight response
Are Catecholamines
Are secreted by the adrenal medulla |
Concerned with the "sugar, salt, and sex | CAT - cortisol, aldosterone, testosterone, and testosterone |
A deficiency of dietary iodine | Impairs the synthesis of T3 and T4 |
Hepatic Gloconeogenesis | Not a function of insulin |
T3, T4, and Calcitonin | Are thyroid glands |
Estrogen and progesterone are | Adenhypophyseal hormones |
A deficiency of ADH is most likely to | Induce polyuria |
Osteoclastic activity | Elevates plasma calcium. |
Hyperglycemia | Is due to excess insulin |
Catecholamines and Steroids | Are secreted by the adrenal gland |
Persistent long-term stimulation of the thyroid gland by TSH is most likely to | Cause a goiter |
Cushing's Syndrome | Is due to adrenal insuffiency |
Polyuria, polydipsia, and polyphagia are | Caused by long-term deficiency of insulin (diabetes mellitus) |
Cretinism, myexedema, and Grave's disease are | Thyroid disorders |
Complete this sequence: releasing hormone -- ACTH -- | Cortisol |
Aldosterone | Expand blood volume |
Abrupt, sudden withdrawal of prednisone (cortisol) is likely to cause | Acute adrenal insuffiency |
Cushing's Syndrome is less likely to caused by | Pharmacologic doses of exogenous steroid (prednisone) |
Glucocorticoids have an unfavorable impact on | Protein metabolism
thereby reducing muscle mass, weakening bones, and causing a thinning of the skin. |
Glucocorticoids can suppress osteoblastic activity, stimulate osteoclastic activty, decrease the intestinal absorption of calcium, and enhance the renal excretion of calcium. For this reason the prolonged use of Glucocorticoids causes | Osteoporosis and vertebral compression fractures |
Virilization is most likely to be observed in this condition | Aldosterone deficiency |
Hepatic conversion of protein-breakdown products into glucose | Gluconeogenesis |
Insulin is released primarily in response to | Increased blood sugar |
This develops with an insulin deficit | Gluconeogensis |
