Endocrine System !!

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

Question
Answer
exocrine   secretes products into ducts  
🗑
endocrine   secrete products into body fluids to affect target cells. Actions are metabolic and precise.  
🗑
Hormones   chemicals that carry messages to target cells  
🗑
endocrine glands   pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, pancreas, pineal  
🗑
endocrine organs   Hypothalamus, pancreas, ovaries, kidney, testes,thymus, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenalgland.  
🗑
Process of endocrine system   hormone secreted into bloodstream, target cells recieve and respond.  
🗑
hormones are   steroids, amines, peptides, proteins, or glycoproteins  
🗑
steroid hormones   lipid soluble and can pass through cell membrane. receptors for hormones are in the target cells nucleus. the hormone receptor complex binds with the DNA and activates specific genes that direct the synthesis of specific proteins  
🗑
Nonsteroid hormones   combine with receptors in target cell membranes; the receptors have a binding and an activity site. the hormone receptor complex(1st messenger) triggers activity. G protein, enzyme adenylates cyclase, ATP to cAMP. (2nd)proteins and enzymes induce change.  
🗑
Other nonsteroids use   diacylglycerol (DAG), or inositol triphosphate.  
🗑
Prostaglandins   lipids that affect organ in which they are produced  
🗑
effects of prostaglandins   relaz smooth muscle, contract smooth muscle, stimulate secretion of hormones, influence blood pressure and inflammation.  
🗑
Negative feedback systems   control hormone release. a gland is sensitive to the concentration of the substance it regulates. when a concentration goes up or down it inhibits the gland from secreting more hormone until it returns to normal.(ex:insulin and glycagon)  
🗑
Glycemia   endocrine disease. symptoms: trembling, increased heart rate, irritability, headache, hunger, anxiety, weak, tired, blurred vision, ringing in ears, persperation. HYPO-low blood glucose HYPER-high blood glucose  
🗑
Hirsutism   women have excess male hormones (androgens, primarily testosterone. causes excess amount of facial hair.  
🗑
Adrenal Gland   On top of kidney.  
🗑
epinephrine, norepinephrine, aldosterone, cortisol   hormones in adrenal gland that increase heart rate,metabolism, affects blood flow, responds to stress (fight or flight), controls[]of mineral electrolites, glucose metabolism.  
🗑
Ovary   lateral wall of pelvic cavity  
🗑
Estrogen, progesterone   female hormones for puberty, and changes uterine lining in preperation for pregnancy. Found in Ovary  
🗑
Testes   pelvic cavity  
🗑
testosterone   hormone that aids in maturity of body, and male secondary sex characteristics  
🗑
Kidney   side of abdominal cavity  
🗑
Erythropoietin   hormone found in kidney. Stimulates production of red blood cells  
🗑
Thymus   Between the lungs  
🗑
Thymosins   hormones that aid in immunity  
🗑
Pineal gland   between cerebral hemispheres, attaches to thalamus  
🗑
melatonin   biological clock (dark/light cycles, circadian rhythms regulate)  
🗑
Parathyroid gland   posterior surface of thyroid gland  
🗑
parathyroid hormone, calcitonin   hormone maintains blood calcium concentration. affects bones, kidneys, and intestine  
🗑
thyroid gland   below larynx and in front of trachea  
🗑
thyroxine, calcitonin, triiodothyronine   hormone regulates metabolism, increases rate of protein synthesis. in thyroid gland  
🗑
Hypothalamus   in brain  
🗑
epinephrine, corticotropin   hormones that respond to stress. In brain.  
🗑
Pituitary gland   at base of brain  
🗑
Growth hormone, Prolactin, thyroid stimulating hormone, adrenoconticotropic hormones, FSH, ADH   in pituitary gland  
🗑
pancreas   near small intestine (posterior to stomach). secretes digestive juices  
🗑
glucagon   raises blood glucose levels in pancreas  
🗑
insulin   lowers blood glucose levels in pancreas, promotes storage of organic fuel, glycogen synthesis.  
🗑
TRH   Thyrotropin-releasing Hormone.(pituitary hormone) stimulates secretion of thyroid hormone.  
🗑
GnRH   Gonadropin-releasing hormone. (pituitary hormone). Stimulates secretion of FSH ans LH, the muturation of gametes and production of reproductive hormones  
🗑
Somatostatin   SST (pituitary hormone). inhibits secretion of GHRH  
🗑
GHRH   growth hormone releasing hormone.(pituitary hormone) stimulates growth and energy metabolism  
🗑
CRH   Corticotropin releasing hormone. (Pituitary hormone). stimulates secretion of ACTH which secretes glucocorticoids  
🗑
Funtions of Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP)?   controls blood volume,blood pressure, and salt balance (in heart)  
🗑
functions of peptide hormone gastrin?   Stimulates HCl secretion in stomach and growth of gastric mucosa.  
🗑
Glucose   causes pancreas to secrete insulin when glucose is present in the small intestine  
🗑
motilin   released about every 90 minutes and causees the smooth peristaltic waves that sweep food toward the terminus of the small intestine  
🗑
Secretin   causes the gall bladder and pancreas to secrete bicarbonate ion into the small intestines where it neutralizes acidic chyme from the stomach  
🗑
Cholecystokinin   stimulates secretion of bile by gallbladder, secretions of digestive enzymes of pancreas, and promotes growth and maintenance of pancreas and gallbladder.  
🗑
Function of erythropoietin   Stimulates bone marrow to increase production of red blood cells (erythrocytes) (in kidney)  
🗑
Function of calcitrol?   Increases uptake of calcium from intestine. (in kidneys)  
🗑
inhibin   regulates secretion of FSH from the anterior pituitary in a negative feedbacl mechanism  
🗑
Estrogen   important for egg decelopment inside the ovarian follicles  
🗑
Progesterone   Important after ovulation for maintaining the integrity of the uterine lining and during pregnancy  
🗑
testosterone   aids in development of gametes, is respondsible for secondary sex characteristics, and controls libido  
🗑
What are two pesterior pituitary hormones?   oxytosin and vasopressin  
🗑
Aldosterone   mineralcorticoid that causes the reabsorption of sodium and the secretion of potassium (adrenal gland)  
🗑
Cortisol   glucocorticoid that regulates metabolism, regulates immune system, and facilitates the stress response. (adrenal gland)  
🗑
Androgens   Stimulates growth spurt early in puberty and controls female sex drive  
🗑
What is the importance of catecholamines? (adrenal gland)   the give the fight or flight response  
🗑
what are the functions of thymic hormones?   regulate T cell development and play a role in immune response  
🗑
Functions of TH   regulates metabolic functions, is essential for growth, essential for development of nervous system, amplifies the activity of the sympathetic nervous system (heart)  
🗑
What is the function of the pineal gland?   coordinates internal clock by melatonin  
🗑
TSH   Anterior pituitary hormone: target thyroid gland and stimulates secretion of thyroid hormone  
🗑
FSH   Anterior pituitary hormone: targets follice, trigggers ovulation and increases secretion of progesterone. In males, it stimulates testosterone production  
🗑
LH   Anterior pituitary hormone: targets follicles in ovaries and stimulats growth of follicle and production of estrogen. In males, it targets the testes and stimulates sperm cell production  
🗑
PRL   Anterior pituitary hormone: targets breasts in females. Stimulates breast development and lactation  
🗑
GH   Anterior pituitary hormone: targets most bodily tissues and stimulates metabolism and growth of those tissues  
🗑
ACTH   Anterior pituitary hormone: targets the adrenal cortex and causes the secretion of glucocorticoids  
🗑
Oxytocin   in breasts  
🗑
