What are the 2 product homormones of the Thyroid Gland?   1. Thyroid Hormone 2. Calcitonin  
🗑
What are the two population of cells in the Thyroid Gland?   1. Follicular Cells - produce Thyroid Hormone 2. Parafollicular or C cells - produce Calcitonin  
🗑
Follicular cells & production of thyroid hormone   Form central cavities where colloid is filled a fluid containg protiens make Thyroglobulin in the colloid iodide absorbed from GI Tract - cytoplasm attaches to tyrosine portion of thyroglobulin tyrosine molecules become linked & form thyroid hormone  
🗑
Two types of thyroid hormone/Effects (which is produced from Thyroid gland, other hormone - calcitonin)   T3 - 3 iodide atms T4 - 4 iodide atms They are Calorigenic - increase metab. rate, body temp, energy, promote breakdown of protien, lipid, carbs  
🗑
Thyroid hormone feedback   1. Release of Thyroid releasing hormone TRH from Hyphothalmus 2. release of Thyroid stimulating hormone from Pituitary Gland  
🗑
C-cells/parafollicular cells & production of calcitonin   larger & squished between follicles involved in calcium homeostasis overproduction - lower bld calcium levels Inhibits osteoclast activity (slows release of calcium from bone) bone deposition of calcium (inhibits) calcium riding by the kidny  
🗑
Parathyroid glands (4)   posterior of thyroid gland Produce PTH(parathormone) calcium homeostasis...helps prevent hypocalcemia...removed=low blood calcium kidney & bone resorption, GI absorption  
🗑
RISE OF CALCIUM LEVELS IN BLOOD   1. Thyroid gland produces calcitonin increased excretion of ca+ by kidneys calcium deposition in bone LOWERS SERUM CALCIUM  
🗑
DROP OF CALCIUM LEVELS IN BLOOD   1. Parathyroid glands secrete parathyroid hormone (PTH) Increased reabsorption of by kidneys Calcium release from bone INCREASES SERUM CALCIUM  
🗑
Adrenal Gland & parts   Cap the kidneys 2 glands 2 sections: 1. Adrenal cortex (periphery) 2. Adrenal medulla (interior)  
🗑
What are the 3 regions of the Adrenal Cortex? Each produce specific steroid hormones   1. Zona glomerulosa - closest to capsule 2. Zona fasciculata - middle zone, foamy appreance 3. Zona reticularis - closest to medulla  
🗑
Zona glomerulosa - Adrenal Cortex of Adrenal Gland   under capsule Produces mineralocorticoids (aldosterone) Regulates sodium resorption by kids in exchange for K+  
🗑
Zona fasciculata - Adrenal Cortex of Adrenal Gland   Produces glucorticoids Effect on glucose metabolism Glucocorticoids : cortisol - [cortisone] in liver - corticosterone glucose formation, maintain blood p, resist stress  
🗑
Zona reticularis - Adrenal Cortex of Adrenal Gland   Closest to medulla Androges-sex hormones in small amounts  
🗑
Adrenal Medulla of Adrenal Gland produces what two hormones?   Interior - resembel nerve tissue 1. Epinephrine 2. Noreinephrine Under Symp Nervous System Control - last longer  
🗑
HYPERadrenocorticism   Cushing's syndrome & disease - weight gain, hairloss too much gluocorticids (fasciculata)  
🗑
HYPOadrenocorticism   Addison's disease, too little glucorticids (fasciculata)  
🗑
Feedback of Glucocorticoids feed back to what two locations:   1. CRH - corticotropin releasing hormone from hypothalamus 2. ACTH - adrenocorticotropic hormone from anterior pituitary gland GLUCOCORTICOIDS HAD INHIBITORY EFFECTS ON TWO  
🗑
Pancrease - what are the two broad functions?   1. Exocrine - digestive enzyme (most mass of pancrease) 2. Endocrine - hormones produced by "Islets of Langerhans) small nodules of tissue throughout pancreas) Products: Insulin (beta),Glucagon (alpha), Somatostatin (Delta), Pancreatic Polypeptide F cell  
🗑
What are the two group of cells in a pancreas?   1. Islet cells - endocrine function 2. Acinar cells - exocrine function - produce digestive enzymes transported to duodenum via 2 ducts  
🗑
Islets of Langerhans & 4 population   Nests or groupings spred b/w acinar cells 1. Alpha cells 2. Beta cells 3. Delta cells 4. F Cells  
🗑
1. Alpha cells of Islets of Langerhans   secret glucagon increases blood glucose lvl by increasing release of glucose by liver  
🗑
2. Beta cells of Islets of Langerhans   secret insulin decreases blood glucose by increasing body cell uptake & utilization of glucose  
🗑
3. Delta cells of Islets of Langerhans   produce like growth hormone inhibiting somatostatin suppresses release of insulin & glucose from other Islet cells  
🗑
4. F cells of Islets of Langerhans   produce pancreatic polypeptide (PP) inhibit gall bladder contraction  
🗑
Diabetes Mellitus   insulin deficiency  
🗑
What does Insulin do?   cause glucose in the blood to be absorbed into cells utilization of glucose  
🗑
What does Glucagon do?   causes bld lvl of glucose to rise deficiency is not ofter critical  
🗑
RISE IN GLUCOSE   causes insulin release normalize  
🗑
DROP IN GLUCOSE   causes glucagon release  
🗑
Testes   interstitial cells produce & release androgens stimulated by LH from pituitary Primary product/androgen - testosterone stimulation of bone & muscle build up  
🗑
Ovaries   production of estrogens & progestins Stimulated by FSH & LH from pituitary estrogens cause behavorial & phy changes Progestins help maintain pregnancy if needed  
🗑
Kidneys - what three hormones are released?   1. Calcitriol 2. Erythropoietin 3. Renin  
🗑
Hormones of Kidney - 1. Calcitriol   steriod hormone released by Kidney release stimulated by PTH raises blood calcium (PTH raises ca lvl by causing calcitriol release)  
🗑
Cholecalciferol (vit D3)   converted to calcitriol related steroid produced in skin/absorbed in Tract  
🗑
Hormones of Kidney - 2. Erythopoietin   EPO release stimulated by low oxygen in Kidney tiss stimulates bone marrow production of RBCs deficiency - kidney failure - anemia due to low production of hormone  
🗑
Hormones of Kidney - 3. Renin   Enzyme Stimulus for release: 1. sympathetic stimulation 2. Decreased renal blood flow starts seq. that results in angiotensin 2(whcih stims release of Aldosterone &ADH) potent vasoconstrictor, pools bld centraly  
🗑
GI Tract   produce gastrin stimulates gastric gland to release HCl & enzymes stimulaltes gastric motility  
🗑
Small Intestine   secretin - stim pancrease to produce buffering fluid CCK - stim pancreas to release digestize enzyme & gall bladder contraction  
🗑
Placenta   produce estrogen, progestins, chorionic, gonadotropin - help maintain pregnancy  
🗑
Thymus   atrophy maturation of immune system matures cells to Tlymphs, crucial for immune responses  
🗑
Pineal Body   part of brain cyclic production of melatonin which affects sleep cucles  
🗑
Prostaglandins   derived from fatty acids - initiate inflamation  
🗑
