what glands produce tropic hormones?
Somatotrophs, Thyrotrophs, Gonadotrophs, Lactotrophs, Corticotrophs
the posterior (neurohypophysis) pituitary stores and releases what two hormones
oxytocin and ADH
Hypothalamus hormones include?
GHRH, GHIH, TRH, CRH, GnRH, PRH, PIH, OT, ADH
TARGET: anterior pituitary
EFFECT: stimulates release of GH
REGULATION:plasma levels of glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids
GHRH
TARGET:anterior pituitary
EFFECT: inhibit release of GH
REGULATION: Plasma levels of glucose, fatty acids and aa's
GHIH
TARGET:anterior pituitary
EFFECT: stimulate release of TSH
REGULATION:plasma levels of TSH and glucose, metabolic rate
TRH
TARGET:anterior pituitary
EFFECT: stimulate release of adrenocorticotropic hormone
REGULATION: blood glucose levels, stress, interleukin -1
CRH
TARGET:anterior pituitary
EFFECT: stimulate release of FSH and LH
REGULATION: in females, plasma estrogen and progesterone levels, in males, plasma testosterone levels
GnRH
TARGET:anterior pituitary
EFFECT:stimulate release of prolactin
REGULATION: suckling
PRH
TARGET:anterior pituitary
EFFECT: inhibit PRL release
REGULATION: suckling, plasma estrogen and progesterone levels.
PIH
TARGET: smooth muscles in uterus and breast
EFFECT:contraction of muscle
REGULATES:hormonal changes during pregnancy, suckling
OT
TARGET:kidney
EFFECT:decrease sweat and urine output, constrict arterioles and increase blood pressure
REGULATES: blood osmotic pressure, stress, drugs
ADH
TARGET:general (mainly bones and skeletal muscles
EFFECT:stimulates synthesis and production of insulin like growth factors (cause release of glucose) stimulates cell growth and division, increases rate of protein synthesis and rate of fat catabolism, decreases rate of glucose catabolism (increase metabolism)
REGULATES: GHRH, GHIH
hGH or Somatotropin
TARGET: thyroid gland
EFFECT:stimulates secretion and release of T3 and T4
REGULATES: TRH
TSH
TARGET: cortex of the adrenal gland
EFFECT:stimulate production and release of glucocorticoids
REGULATES: CRH
ACTH
TARGET:gonads
EFFECT:stimulates production of gametes, stimulates production of estrogen in females
REGULATES: GnRH, inhibin, estrogen and testosterone
FSH
TARGET:gonads
EFFECT:in females, stimulates ovulation, formation of corpus luteum and production of estrogen and progesterone. in males, simulates production of testosterone
REGULATES: GnRH
LH
TARGET: breast
EFFECT:milk production
REGULATES:PRH, PIH, estrogen
PRL
TARGET: melanocytes
EFFECT: increases production of melanin, CNS neurotransmitter
REGULATES:MRH, MIH
MSH
TARGET: general
EFFECT:regulate O2 use, basal metabolic rate, growth and development
REGULATES: TSH from pituitary, TRH from hypothalamus
T3,T4
TARGET:bone
EFFECT:inhibits osteoclasts, decrease Ca release into blood, increase Ca uptake into bone
REGULATES:Ca levels
Calcitonin
PARATHYROID HORMONE (PTH)
antagonist
Calcitonin
PARATHYROID HORMONE (PTH)
net effect
increases circulating Ca
Adrenal Medulla
produces catecholamines (epinephrine, and norepinephrine)
which part of the adrenal gland produces the hormone also known as the fight or flight hormone
adrenal medulla
cortex of adrenal gland is composed of
zona gloemerulosa, zona fasciculata, and zona reticularis
Zona Glomerulosa secretes
mineralcorticoids
what are mineralcorticoids
steroid hormone that influences Na and K and water homeostasis.
Zona Fasciculata secretes
glucocorticoids
what are glucocorticoids
steroid hormones that regulate metabolism, and resist stress (cortisol, corticosterone, cortison)
Zona retucularis produces
androgens and some estrogens
pancreas has two functions, what are they and what are their cells, what do their cells do
exocrine: acinar cells: production of digestive enzymes

endocrine: islets of langerhans, 3 cell types

1. alpha: produce glucagon
2. Beta: produce insulin
3. gamma: produce sonatostatin
Hormones of pancreas
Insulin, glucagon, somatostatin
Insulin (target, effect, regulation)
TARGET:general
EFFECT:lowers blood glucose, and accelerates diffusion of glucose into cells. increases glycogenesis, increases uptake of amino acids and peptide formation (decrease gluconeogenesis), promotes glucose conversion to fat and promotes cellular respiration. decreases glycogenolysis
REGULATION: blood levels of flucose, amino acids and fatty acids
Glucagon (target, effect, regulation)
TARGET:liver
EFFECT:increases blood glucose levels by stimulating gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis
REGULATION: blood glucose levels, ANS and Insulin
Somatostatin (target, effect)
TARGET: digestive tract and pancreas
EFFECT: inhibits secretion of glucagon and insulin
