Front 1

Adrenal Cortex

Back 1

release corticosterodids (glucocorticoids, mineralcorticoids, cortical sex hormone)

Front 2

Glucocorticoids

Back 2

RAISE blood GLUCOSE by promoting gluconeogenesis (cortisol and cortisone)

Front 3

Mineralcorticoids

Back 3

regulate PLASMA levels of Na+ and K+ (aldosterone - active reabsorption of Na+ / passive of water / RAISES blood PRESSURE and VOLUME)

Front 4

Cortical Sex Hormones

Back 4

androgen

Front 5

Adrenal Medulla

Back 5

epinephrine and norepinephrine
"fight or flight"

Front 6

Epinephrine

Back 6

activates adenylyl cyclase

Front 7

Norepinephrine

Back 7

conversion of glycogen to glucose / RAISE blood GLUCOSE and BMR

Front 8

Anterior Pituitary

Back 8

direct hormones (PEG) and tropic hormones (FLAT)

Front 9

Prolactin

Back 9

milk production

Front 10

Endorphines

Back 10

inhibit pain

Front 11

Growth Hormone (GH)

Back 11

promotes bone and muscle growth

Front 12

FSH

Back 12

maturation of follicles which secrete estrogen / maturation of seminiferous tubules

Front 13

LH

Back 13

ovulation and formation of corpus luteum / stimulates intestinal cells to secrete testosterone

Front 14

ACTH

Back 14

stimulates Adrenal Cortex to release glucocoticoids / regulated by CRF

Front 15

TSH

Back 15

stimulates thyroid gland to release thyroid hormones

Front 16

Posterior Pituitary

Back 16

stores and releases peptide hormones oxytocin and ADH

Front 17

oxytocin

Back 17

increases strength of uterine contractions / milk secretion

Front 18

ADH

Back 18

increases permeability of the nephron's collecting duct to water

Front 19

Hypothalamus

Back 19

part of forebrain; regulate pituitary gland secretions and temp regulation (GnRH, oxytocin, ADH)

Front 20

GnRH

Back 20

stimulates anterior pituitary to secrete FSH and LH

Front 21

Front 22

Thyroxin and Triiodothronine

Back 22

necessary for growth and neurological development / contain iodide

Front 23

Calcitonin

Back 23

TONES down Ca2+ by inhibiting release from bones

Front 24

Parathyroid

Back 24

synthesize and secrete PTH which increases Ca2+ by decreasing excretion of it in kidneys

Front 25

Pancreas

Back 25

both exocrine and endocrine organ (inlets of langerhans) / alpha and beta cells / glucagon and insulin

Front 26

Glucagon

Back 26

protein and fat degredation, promotes gluconeogenesis and conversion of glycogen to glucose / RAISE blood GLUCOSE (alpha cells)

Front 27

Insulin

Back 27

stimulates uptake of blood glucose by muscle and adipose tissue / LOWERS blood GLUCOSE (beta cells)

Front 28

Cerebellum

Norepinephrine

Back 30

CNS / derived from AA

Front 31

Forebrain

Back 31

cerebral cortex (sensory input, memory, creative thought) / olfactory bulb / thalamus (relax for cerebral cortex and spinal cord) / hypothalamus (water balance, blood pressure, temp regulation)

Front 32

Midbrain

Back 32

visual and auditory, motor control

Front 33

Hindbrain

Back 33

cerebellum (maintenance of balance, hand-eye coordination) / pons (relay for cortex and cerebellum) / medulla (breathing, heart rate, gastrointenstinal activity)
