11 endocrine glands
|
posterior pituitary - anterior pituitary - thyroid gland - parathyroid gland - adrenal gland (cortex) - adrenal gland (medulla) - pancreas - testes - ovaries - pineal gland - thymus gland
|
|
2 hormones of the posterior pituitary
|
ADH (antidiuretic hormone) - oxytocin
|
|
what produces ADH
|
supraoptic nucleus of hypothalamus
|
|
gland that releases ADH
|
posterior pituitary
|
|
ADH is stimulated by
|
hypothalamus when ↑blood osmolarity - ↓blood volume - ↓blood pressure
|
|
ADH is inhibited by
|
hydration - alcohol
|
|
ADH targets
|
kidneys
|
|
effects of ADH
|
stimulates resorption of H2O by kidney tubules - ↑blood volume & blood pressure
|
|
ADH effects of hyposecretion↓ or hypersecretion↑
|
↓diabetes insipidus - ↑syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion (SIADH)
|
|
what produces oxytocin
|
paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus
|
|
gland that releases oxytocin
|
posterior pituitary
|
|
oxytocin is stimulated by
|
hypothalamus when cervix/uterus stretches - suckling of infant
|
|
oxytocin is inhibited by
|
lack of stimulation
|
|
oxytocin targets
|
smooth muscle (uterus) - breast
|
|
effects of oxytocin
|
stimulates uterine contractions - initiates labor + milk ejection
|
|
6 hormones of the anterior pituitary
|
GH (growth hormone) - PRL (prolactin) - TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) - ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) - FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) - LH (luteinizing hormone)
|
|
gland that produces GH (growth hormone)
|
anterior pituitary
|
|
GH (growth hormone) is stimulated by
|
GHRH from hypothalamus when ↓GH - hypoglycemia - ↑amino acids - exercise - ↓fatty acids
|
|
GH (growth hormone) is inhibited by
|
↑GH (−feedback) - GHIH - hyperglycemia - hyperlipidemia
|
|
GH (growth hormone) targets
|
most cells - especially muscle & bone
|
|
effects of GH (growth hormone)
|
stimulates cell growth & cell division - mobilizes fats - spares glucose
|
|
GH effects of hyposecretion↓ or hypersecretion↑
|
↓pituitary dwarfism in children - ↑gigantism in children - adult acromegaly
|
|
gland that produces PRL (prolactin)
|
anterior pituitary
|
|
PRL (prolactin) is stimulated by
|
PRH - PRH increased by estrogen - breast feeding
|
|
PRL (prolactin) is inhibited by
|
PIH (dopamine)
|
|
PRL (prolactin) targets
|
breasts
|
|
effects of PRL (prolactin)
|
promotes milk production
|
|
PRL effects of hyposecretion↓ or hypersecretion↑
|
↓poor milk production - ↑high milk production - male impotence & gynecomastia
|
|
gland that produces TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone)
|
anterior pituitary
|
|
TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) is stimulated by
|
TRH - pregnancy & cold temperature - ↓thyroxin (T4)
|
|
TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) is inhibited by
|
−feedback by ↑thyroxin (T4) - GHIH
|
|
TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) targets
|
thyroid glands
|
|
effects of TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone)
|
stimulates thyroid gland to release thyroid hormones
|
|
TSH effects of hyposecretion↓ or hypersecretion↑
|
↓children cretinism - adult myxedema - ↑hyperthyroidism (like grave's disease)
|
|
gland that produces ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone)
|
anterior pituitary
|
|
ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) is stimulated by
|
hypoglycemia - stress - CRH released with fever
|
|
ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) is inhibited by
|
−feedback from ↑glucocorticoids (cortisol)
|
|
ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) targets
|
adrenal cortex
|
|
effects of ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone)
|
acts on adrenal cortex to release glucocorticoids (cortisol)
|
|
ACTH effects of hyposecretion↓ or hypersecretion↑
|
↓rare - ↑cushing's disease
|
|
gland that produces FSH (follicle stimulating hormone)
|
anterior pituitary
|
|
FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) is stimulated by
|
GnRH
|
|
FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) is inhibited by
|
−feedback by ↑estrogen - ↑testosterone - inhibin
|
|
FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) targets
|
ovaries - testes
|
|
effects of FSH (follicle stimulating hormone)
|
ovaries: stimulates follicle & ovum maturation - testes: stimulates sperm production
|
|
FSH effects of hyposecretion↓ or hypersecretion↑
|
↓failure of sexual maturation - ↑no important effects
|
|
gland that produces LH (luteinizing hormone)
|
anterior pituitary
|
|
LH (luteinizing hormone) is stimulated by
|
GnRH
|
|
LH (luteinizing hormone) is inhibited by
|
−feedback by ↑estrogen & progesterone - ↑testosterone
|
|
LH (luteinizing hormone) targets
|
ovaries - testes
|
|
effects of LH (luteinizing hormone)
|
ovaries: triggers ovulation, ↑estrogen & progesterone production - testes: ↑testosterone production
|
|
