Question
Answer
The nervous system has been compared to an animal delivery system and the endocrine to the pony express...why this comparison?   The nervous systme employs elctrochemical impules and "rapid control" whereas the endocrine system employs "chemical messengers" or hormones into blood for transport which is a slower system  
🗑
Define Hormone   THe body's hormones, steroids or amino-based molecules arouse the body's tissues & cells by stimulating changes in their metabolic activity  
🗑
Chemically, hormones belong chiefly to two molecular groups, the   steroids and the amino-based molecules  
🗑
What do all hormones have in common?   They are all blood borne.  
🗑
Define "target organ"   Organs that respond to a particular hormone in a specific way  
🗑
If hormones travel in the bloodstream, why don't all tissue respond to all hormones?   Because they all have different protein receptors and only certain cells will react to the prescence of a particular hormone.  
🗑
located in the troat; bilobed gland connected by an isthmus   thyroid gland  
🗑
found close to the kidney   Adrenal gland  
🗑
a mixed gland, located close to the stomach and small intestine   Pancreas  
🗑
paired glands suspended in the scrotum   testes  
🗑
ride "horseback" on the thyroid gland   Parathyroid glands  
🗑
found in the pelvic cavity of the female, concerned with ova and female hormone production   ovaries  
🗑
found in the upper thorax overlying the heart; large during youth   thymus  
🗑
found in the roof of the third ventricle   Pineal Body  
🗑
Responsible for the programming of T lymphocytes (hormone & site of production)   Thymus/thymosin  
🗑
Released in response to stressors (2 hormones and site of production)   Thyroid/calcitoninParathyroid/PTH  
🗑
Drive development of secondary sexual characteristics (2 hormones & site of production)   Ovaries/estrogensTestes/testosterone  
🗑
Regulate the function of another endocrine gland (4 hormones and sites of production)   Anterior pituitary is the site for all four hormones; FSH, LH, ACTH, TSH  
🗑
Mimics the sympathetic nervous system; hormone and site   Epinephrine/adrenal medulla  
🗑
Regulate blood glucose levels; produced by the same "mixed" gland (2 hormones/2 sites)   Glucagon & insulin both produced in the pancreas  
🗑
Directly responsible for regulations of the menstrual cycle (2 hormones/2 sites)   estrogens and progesterone, both produced in the ovaries  
🗑
maintenance of salt and water balance in extracellular fluid (2 hormones/2 sites)   ADH produced in the hypothalamusAldosterone produced in the adrenal cortex  
🗑
Directly involved in milk production and ejection (2 hormones/2 sites)   Oxytocin produced in the hypothalamusProlactin produced in the anterior pituitary  
🗑
ADH is stimulated by the/a   nervous system  
🗑
Aldosterone is stimulated by the/a   humoral factors  
🗑
Estrogens are stimulated by the/a   another hormone  
🗑
insulin is stimulated by the/a   humoral factors  
🗑
norepinephrine is stimulated by the/a   nervous system  
🗑
parathyroid hormone is stimulated by the/a   humoral factors  
🗑
T4/T3 is stimulated by the/a   another hormone  
🗑
testosterone is stimulated by the/a   another hormone  
🗑
TSH,FSH is stimulated by the/a   another hormone  
🗑
The inadequate amt of hormone _______that produces the condition PTH   tetany  
🗑
The inadequate amt of hormone _______ which causes excessive diuresis without high blood glucose levels caused the condition;   ADH  
🗑
The inadequate amt of hormone ________ causes the loss of glucose in the urine   insulin  
🗑
The _________ Hormone in inadequate amts causes the condition of an abnormally small stature, normal proportions   growth hormone (GH)  
🗑
The hormones __________ and _________ in low amts cause a Low BMR, mental & physical sluggishness   thyroine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3)  
🗑
The hormone _______when produced in excessive amts causes large hands and feet in the adult and large facial bones   Growth Hormone (GH)  
🗑
The hormone __________ when produced in excessive amts that results in nervousness, rregular pulse rate and sweating   T4/T3 (Thyroid Hormone)  
🗑
The hormone PTH when produced in excessive amounts results in the following   demineralization of bones, spontaneous fractures  
🗑
Hormone produced by parafollicular cells of the thyroid   calcitonin  
🗑
The hormone produced by follicular epithelial cells of the thyroid   T4/T3  
🗑
The hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreatic islets (islets of langerhans)   insulin  
🗑
The hormone produced by alpha cells of the pancreatic islets   glucagon  
🗑
The hormone produced by basophil cells of the anterior pituitary   TSH,ACTH, FSH, LH  
🗑
The hormone produced by zona fasciculata cells   glucocorticoids  
🗑
The hormone produced by zona glomerulosa cells   mineralocorticoids  
🗑
The hormone produced by cheif cells   PTH  
🗑
The hormone produced by acidophil cells of the anterior pituitary   GH, prolactin  
🗑
