Question | Answer |
TSH | thyroid-stimulating hormone |
ACTH | adrenocorticotropic hormone |
GH | growth hormone |
PRL | prolactin |
FSH | follicle stimulating hormone |
LH | luteinizing hormone |
Gonadotropic hormones | FSH/LH |
ADH | antidiuretic hormone |
Oxytocin | uterine contractions, milk let-down |
master gland | pituitary gland |
Thyroxine - (Thyroid) | controls metabolic rate and regulates growth and development T4 4 atoms of iodine attached |
Parathyroid hormone - (parathyroid gland) | increases plasma (blood) calcium concentration; get kidneys to reabsorb calcium |
sex hormones | (adrenal gland/ gonads) helps develop secondary sex characteristics in men and women, why they look different |
insulin (pancreas) | helps regulate metabolism of carbs, proteins and fats; decreases blood glucose, transports glucose into cells |
oxytocin (pituitary gland) | makes uterine muscle contract during labor, releases milk for breastfeeding |
aldosterone (adrenal gland) | kidneys to reabsorb (conserve) sodium and water, excrete potassium; helps regulate fluid and electrolyte balance |
ADH (posterior pituitary gland) | stimulates water absorption in kidneys, (retain more) and constricts blood vessels |
calcitonin (thyroid) | decreases plasma levels of calcium(blood calcium), helps give calcium to bones |
prolactin (PRL) (anterior pituitary) | stimulates breasts to develop and produce milk |
TSH (anterior pituitary) | stimulates thyroid gland to produce hormones (T3 &T4) |
FSH (anterior pituitary) gonadotropic hormone | stimulates development of ova and sperm |
LH (anterior pituitary) gonadotropic hormone | causes ovulation in women/ stimulates secretion progesterone in women, testosterone in men |
glucagon (pancreas) | raises blood glucose (works against insulin) |
cortisol (adrenal gland) steriod | part of stress response, regulates fat, protein and glucose metabolism, natural anti-inflammatory |
GH (anterior pituitary) | stimulates growth of long bones and soft (muscle) tissue; synthesis of glucose during periods of fasting |
