🗑
Name the hormones described: Low levels in infancy result in mental retardation   T3 (Thyroxine), T4 (Triiodothyronine) thyroid hormones  
🗑
Name the hormones described: Increases blood calcium   Parathyroid hormone  
🗑
Name the hormones described: Stimulates contraction of uterine smooth muscle   Oxytocin  
🗑
Name the hormones described: Decrease blood potassium   Aldosterone  
🗑
Name the hormones described: Decrease the sensitivity of targets to catecholamines   Thyroxine (T4)  
🗑
Secreted by neuron of the hypothalamus (Name the hormones described A-F below. Choose your answers from the list provided.)   A.  
🗑
Stimulates cells of the kidney to reabsorb water (Name the hormones described A-F below. Choose your answers from the list provided.)   Anti-diuretic Hormone  
🗑
Under tonic inhibition (Name the hormones described A-F below. Choose your answers from the list provided.)   Prolactin  
🗑
Stimulates emptying of the mammary gland (Name the hormones described A-F below. Choose your answers from the list provided.)   Oxytocin  
🗑
Affects mitosis of the epiphyseal disc. (Name the hormones described A-F below. Choose your answers from the list provided.)   Luteinizing Hormone  
🗑
Stimulates the Leydig cells of the testis to secrete testosterone (Name the hormones described A-F below. Choose your answers from the list provided.)   Luteinizing Hormone  
🗑
Which portion of the pituitary differentiates from Rathke’s pouch?   Adenohypophysis  
🗑
What is the function of the hypothalamic-hypophyseal portal system?   Ensures that concentration of RF or RIF is HIGH enough to stimulate target cells  
🗑
A steroid hormone is likely to affect its target via the _______ receptor model.   Mobile/intracellular  
🗑
Rathke’s pouch gives rise to all components of the ________   Adenohypophysis  
🗑
The nerve cell bodies of cells secreting oxytocin are located _______   Hypothalamus  
🗑
Name the hormones described below: stimulate contraction of myoepithelial cells in the lacating mammary gland   Oxytocin  
🗑
Name the hormones described below: increase blood sugar   Glucagon, Cortisol, Epinephrine  
🗑
Name the hormones described below: secreted in response to an increase in blood osmolarity   Antidiuretic Hormone  
🗑
Name the hormones described below: low levels result in growth and mental retardation   T3 and T4 Thyroid Hormones  
🗑
Name the hormones described below: low levels result in diabetes insipidis   ADH  
🗑
Name the hormones described below: inhibit secretion of insulin, glucagons, growth hormone   Somatostatin  
🗑
Why is a low level of aldosterone dangerous?   Aldosterone helps regulate sodium and potassium levels in the body. This helps control blood pressure and the balance of fluids and electrolytes in the blood.  
🗑
Antidiuretic hormone and oxytocin are secreted from neurons whose nerve cell bodies are located in _________.   Hypothalamus  
🗑
In normal physiology, antidiuretic hormone is secreted in response to A. ___________ and cause the kidney to B. ___________   A. Increase in blood osmolarity sensed by neurons of brain, LOW blood volume sensed by stretch receptors in right atrium and baroreceptors in aorta, pulmonary and carotid aa. B. Reabsorbs H2O  
🗑
In females, it appears that __________ (hormone) is important in the stress reaction.   Oxytocin  
🗑
In which receptor model does the hormone have a direct effect on the target's DNA?   Mobile receptor/Intracellular receptors  
🗑
Which one of the following is NOT likely with decreased insulin levels? ketosis, acidosis, tachypnea, starvation of the CNS, glucosuria, all are likely?   starvation of the CNS  
🗑
