Question
Answer
hypothalamus   nervous tissue. HORMONES: releasing, inhibiting, antidiuretic, oxytocin  
🗑
releasing hormone   stimulates anterior pituitary gland to RELEASE a hormone  
🗑
inhibiting hormone   stimulates anterior pituitary gland to STOP releasing a hormone  
🗑
antidiuretic hormone ADH   stimulates kidneys to reabsorb h2o and stimulates blood vessles to vasoconstrict -> increases blood pressure  
🗑
oxytocin OT   stimulates uterus to contract (labor), stimulates myoepithelial cells in breast to release milk, stimulates maternal behavior, stimulates prostate gland to release seminal fluid during sex  
🗑
anterior pituitary gland   HORMONES: Follicle stimulating, Luteinizing, Adrenocorticotropic, Thyroid stimulating, Prolactin, Growth Hormone. FLAT PG  
🗑
FSH follicle stimulating   stimulates testes for sperm production and maturation, stimulates ovaries for growth of ovarian follicles (protects egg), stimulates estrogen  
🗑
luteinizing   stimulates testes to secrete testosterone, stimulates ovaries to ovulate and secrete progesterone (pregnancy)  
🗑
posterior pituitary gland posterior pituitary gland   histology: myelinated axons from hypothalamus. RELEASES hormones (doesn't produce): oxytocin and ADH antidiuretic  
🗑
adrenocorticotropic ACTH   stimulates adrenal gland to release cortisol  
🗑
thyroid stimulating TSH   stimulates thyroid to release thyroid hormone (duh)  
🗑
prolactin PRL   stimulates mammary gland to produce milk and stimulates testes to be sensitive to LH (luteinizing h)  
🗑
Growth H GH   stimulates liver to produce insulin-> stimulates growth plate. stimulates protein synthesis and breakdown of fats.  
🗑
thyroid gland   Histology: follicular cells simp cuboidal, secrete thyroid h, colloid fluid in center has thyroid h, parafollicular cells secrete calcitonin. Hormones: Thyroid and Calcitonin  
🗑
T3 T4 thyroid hormone   increases metabolism neccessary for growth, stimulates GH, brain development  
🗑
calcitonin CT   Stimulates osteoblasts and inhibits osteoclasts which decreases blood calcium levels  
🗑
parathyroid gland   histology: principal cells produce PTH, oxyphil cells unknown function. HORMONE: parathyroid H  
🗑
parathyroid hormone PTH   stimulates osteoclasts INCREASES Ca levels, stimulates kidneys to reabsorb Ca, stimulates synthesis of Calcitrol (active form of vitamin D)  
🗑
adrenal cortex   3 zonas: glomerulosa: bulb cells make mineralocorticoids. fasciculata: cords of lipid rich cells that make glucocorticoids. reticularis: branching cells make gonadocorticoids.  
🗑
cortisol/cortisone/corticosterone: glucocorticoids   cope w stress by stimulating production of glucose from fats. high levels can reduce swelling and inhibit immune system  
🗑
aldosterone: mineralocorticoid   regulates salt levels by stimulating kidneys to reabsorb Na if BP drops  
🗑
androgens: gonadocorticoids   stimulate protein synthesis in sex organ cells  
🗑
adrenal medulla   chromaffin cells that secrete NE and EPI  
🗑
EPI epinephrine and NE norepinephrine   stimulated by sympathetic division of ANS and have longer effects of increased: heart rate, breathing, glucose levels, pupil diameter  
🗑
pancreas   both exocrine and endocrine cells. pancreatic islets with simp cuboidal cells around that secrete digestive enzymes (exocrine). hormones: glucagon and insulin  
🗑
glucagon   increases blood glucose levels during fasting and starvation  
🗑
insulin   decreases blood glucose levels, stimulates body cells to take up glucose  
🗑


   

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.
