T3, T4   Thyroid   TSH secreted by anterior pituitary gland in response to low T3, T4 serum levels   All body tissue   Increased availability of beta receptors, Controls: Metabolism, Caloric use, O2 consumption, CHO metabolism, Fat metabolism, Protein catabolism, Growth, Cell differentiation, Brain and CNS activity   Hyperthyroid, Graves, Thyroid Storm   Hypothyroid, Myxedema Coma  
🗑
Calcitonin   Thyroid   High serum calcium   Kidneys, bone   Decreased serum calcium via: Inhibition of release of calcium, from bones/ bone resorption, Increased calcium storage in bone, Increased renal excretion of calcium   n/a   n/a  
🗑
PTH   Parathyroid glands   Low serum calcium   Bone, kidneys, small intestine   Increased serum calcium via: Stimulation of bone resorption and inhibition of bone formation, Increased renal calcium absorption, Increased renal conversion of Calcidiol to Vitamin D, Increased calcium reabsorption from the GI tract   Hyperparathyroid, hypercalcemia   Hypoparathyroid, Hypocalcemia  
🗑
Aldosterone   Adrenal cortex   ACTH from the anterior pituitary, renin-angiotensin, or high serum K   Kidneys   Sodium and water retention, Potassium excretion   Hyperaldosterone, Conn's   Addison's (in combination with Cortisol and Androgen decrease)  
🗑
Androgen   Adrenal cortex   ACTH secreted from anterior pituitary   Organs associated with secondary sex characteristics: breasts, vocal cords, anything not needed for reproduction   Development of non-reproductive sex characteristics   Adrenal hyperplasia, Gonadocorticoid excess   Addison's (in combination with Cortisol and Androgen decrease)  
🗑
Cortisol   Adrenal cortex   Hypothalamus releases CRH which triggers the anterior pituitary to release ACTH which acts on the adrenal cortex   All body tissues that use glucose   Glucose synthesis, Protein catabolism, Sodium and water retention, Potassium excretion, Inhibition of inflammatory response, Inhibition of immune response, Supports stress response/ creates feelings of well-being, Increases HCL in the stomach, Increases c   Cushings   Addison's (in combination with Cortisol and Androgen decrease)  
🗑

🗑
Growth Hormone (GH)   Anterior pituitary   (blank)   Long bones, soft tissue   Growth   Adults- acromegaly, Kids- gigantism   Adults- none, Kids- dwarfism  
🗑
Anti-diuretic Hormone (ADH)   Posterior pituitary   Increased serum osmolality   Kidneys   Increased water reabsorption from renal tubules, Water retention, Decreased aldosterone, Decreased sodium absorption (hyponatremia), Vasoconstriction   SIADH   Diabetes Insipidus (DI)

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
