|
Erythropoietin (EPO) |
Release epo Stimulus: decrease RBC, decrease oxygen flow to tissues, decrease BV/BP, decrease renal blood flow Target: bone marrow Response: increase in RBC, oxygen flow, renal blood flow, BV/BP |
|
|
Thymosin |
Stimulus: normal development Organ: thymus corpuscles release thymosin Target: bone marrow Response: increase in WBC production (leukopoiesis) develop an immune system |
|
|
Melatonin |
Stimulus: decrease in UV light on retina Organ: pinealcytes (pineal gland) secretes melatonin Target: brain (awareness centers) Response: decrease awareness (drowsy) |
|
|
Mineralcorticoids of the adrenal cortex |
Stimulus: decrease in BP/BV, renal blood flow or Na+, Cl- in blood Kidney release: renin Renin activates angiotensin 1: passes through lungs and ACE converts it to angiotensin 2 Angiotensin 2: stimulates sons glomerulosa of adrenal cortex to release aldosterone Agt 2 stimulates Z.G. To release aldosterone: aldosterone targets kidneys to increase Na+, Cl- reabsorption in blood. Target: kidneys Response: increase BP/BV, renal blood flow Mechanism: H2O follows salt which causes increase in BV/BP, renal blood flow. |

Zona glomerulosa |
What is known as salty aldo, and carries mineralcorticoids in its adrenal gland? (Salt) |
|
|
Zona fasciculata |
What carries glucocorticoids in its adrenal gland? (Sugar) |
|
|
Zona reticularis |
What carries androgens in its adrenal gland? (SEX hormone= testosterone which leads to aggressive behavior) |
