Endocrine Hormones

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Hormone
Target
Effect
Source
Thyroid Releasing Hormone   Anterior Pituitary   stimulate thyroxine secretion   hypothalamus  
🗑
Human Growth Hormone (hGH)   long bones   increases cell division (growth)   anterior pituitary  
🗑
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)   thyroid   stimulate thyroxin secretion   anterior pituitary  
🗑
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH)   adrenal cortex   secretion of cortisol and aldosterone   Anterior Pituitary  
🗑
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)   growing follicle in ovary   stimulate oogenesis and estrogen production   anterior pituitary  
🗑
Luteinizing Hormone (LH)   maturing follicle and corpus leteum in ovary   stimulate oocyte maturation, ovulation, and then progesterone secretion of corpusluteum   Anterior Pituitary  
🗑
Prolactin (PRL)   mammary glands   stimulate milk production   anterior pituitary  
🗑
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)   Kidney (collecting duct)   increase re-absorption of water into bloodstream   produced in hypothalamus; stored in posterior pituitary  
🗑
Oxytocin (OCT)   smooth muscle of uterus and breasts   increase contraction of smooth muscle   produced in hypothalamus; stored in posterior pituitary  
🗑
Thyroxine (T4)   Most cells.   increases cells' rate of metabolism an cellular respiration. || Regulation: stimulated by TSH from anterior pituitary --> released thyroxine. Inhibited by negative feedback. High levels of thyroxine inhibit secretion of TSH.   thyroid  
🗑
Calcitonin   Bone; Kidney   take calcium out of the blood and store it in bone; decrease Ca2+ re-absorption   thyroid  
🗑
Parathyroid Hormone (PTH)   Bone, kidney; small intestine   release calcium into bloodstream   parathyroids  
🗑
Cortisol (Glucocorticoids)   liver, muscles; immune system   breakdown of carbohydrates, fat and protein to increase blood glucose levels in times of long term stress; suppress immune system   Adrenal Cortex  
🗑
Aldosterone (Mineralocorticoids)   kidney (distal tubule and collecting duct)   re-absorb Na+ and water into bloodstream   Adrenal Cortex  
🗑
Epinephrine & Norepinephrine   Pupils; salivary glands; heart; bronchioles; digestive system; liver   reinforce sympathetic nervous system "fight or flight" response to stress   Adrenal Medulla  
🗑
Insulin   All body cells; liver   increase cell permeability to glucose; convert glucose to glycogen   beta cells - islets of Langerhands (pancreas)  
🗑
Glucagon   Liver   convert glycogen to glucose (increase blood glucose levels)   Alpha cells - islets of Langerhans (pancreas)  
🗑
Estrogen   Uterus; hair follicles, breasts, fat deposits, hips broader than shoulders   rebuild endometrium after menstrual flow phase; develop seconday sex characteristics at puberty.   growing follicle in ovary  
🗑
Progesterone   uterus   thicken/maintain endometrium after ovulation   corpus luteum in ovary  
🗑
Testosterone   hair follicles, oil glands, larynx, muscles, shoulders broader than hips; sertoli cells in seminiferous tubules   develop secondary sex characteristics at puberty; spermatogenesis   interstitial cells of testes  
🗑
Thyroid Inhibiting Hormone   thyroid   stimulate thyroxin secretion   anterior pituitary  
🗑
Gonadotropin   anterior pituitary   stimulate FSH and LH secretion   hypothalamus  
🗑
Gonadocorticoids (GnGH)   many tissues in male and female   secondary sex characteristics   adrenal cortex  
🗑


   

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.
