Term
Definition
Endocrine Glands   Ductless; secret hormones directly into the bloodstream  
🗑
Endocrine Glands   Respond slowly; exerts long-lasting effects  
🗑
Endocrine Glands   Adapts slowly to continual stimulation  
🗑
Exocrine Glands   Have ducts that secrete out of body  
🗑
Steroid Hormone   pass easily through a cells membrane; bind to receptors in the nucleous  
🗑
Second messenger system   A Cascades of processes that influence a cells response to a hormone  
🗑
Pituitary Gland   influences more body processes than any other endocrine gland  
🗑
Anterior Pituitary Gland   is larger than the posterior and consist of glandular tissue  
🗑
Anterior Pituitary Gland   Synthesizes and secretes hormones under the direction of hypothalamus  
🗑
hormones of the anterior pituitary   stimulates other endocrine cells to release their hormones  
🗑
Thyroid-stimulating hormone; or thyrotropin   Stimulates the thyroid gland to secrete thyroid hormone  
🗑
prolactin   stimulates milk production in the mammary glands in females  
🗑
Adrenocorticotropic hormone   stimulates the adrenal cortex to secret corticosteroids  
🗑
Follicle stimulating hormone   stimulates the production of eggs and ovaries of females  
🗑
Luteinizing hormone   stimulates ovulation in females  
🗑
Growth Hormone; or somatotropin   acts of entire body to promote protein synthesis,lipid, and carb metabolism, and bone and skeletal muscle growth  
🗑
Posterior pituitary gland   Stores the hormones antidurectic hormone and oxytocin which are synthesized by hypothalamus  
🗑
oxytocin   stimulates contraction of the uterus during childbirth and triggers the release of milk from the breast during lactation  
🗑
ADH (or Vasopressin)   acts on the kidneys to reduce urine volume and prevent dehydration  
🗑
Negative Feedback    
🗑
Pineal gland   produces melantonin, hormone that controls sleep/wake cycle  
🗑
thymus   is a member of the endocrine and immune systems  
🗑
thyroid hormone   secreted by T3, T4, and calcitonin  
🗑
thyroid hormone   Exposure to cold stimulates the release of thyroid stimulating hormone, which increasing metabolic rate and heat production  
🗑
Parafollicular cells   Secrete calcitonin in response to increasing blood calcium levels  
🗑
Parathyroid hormone   exerts influences on bone, kidneys, and intestines  
🗑
Parathyroid hormone- Bone   Inhibits new bone formation and stimulates the breakdown of old bone  
🗑
Parathyroid hormone- Kidney   Reabsorb calcium, Activate vitamin D  
🗑
Parathyroid hormone- intestines   Vitamin D is important for intestinal absorption of calcium  
🗑
Zona Fasciculata   Secretes glucocorticoids; most active during stress  
🗑
Mineralocorticoids (Aldosterone)   Acts on kidneys to promote Na retention and K excretion; also cause water retention  
🗑
Glucocorticoids ( Cortisol)   -aid in repair of damage tissue,- have anti-inflammatory effect,- aid in maintaining blood pressure,- suppress the immune system secret over long term  
🗑
Sex steriods:   Sex Steriods  
🗑
Pancreas   Sits behind the stomach, contains both endocrine and exocrine ; mostly exocrine, secrets digestive enzymes into small intestines  
🗑
pancreas   Islets contain several different types of cells.... main ones are alpha,beta, and delta  
🗑
Alpha cells   secretes the hormone glucogon between meals, when blood glucose levels decline  
🗑
Beta cells   Secrete the hormone insulin, stimulates cells to take up more glucose  
🗑
Glucagon   stimulates liver cells to convert glycogen into glucose when blood sugar falls  
🗑
Catecholamines   Boost glucose levels by breaking down glycogen  
🗑
Glucocorticoids   convert fat and protein to glucose  
🗑
insulin triggers two reactions   stimulates cells to take up more glucose and and liver takes glucose and stores as glycogen  
🗑
Type 2 diabetes   a loss of insulin receptors on target cells leading to insulin resistance  
🗑
Type 1 diabetes   deficiency of insulin resulting from destruction of beta cells of the pancreatic islets  
🗑


   

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.
