Hypothalamus

Target: Ant. Pituitary
Hormones: GnRH, TRH,CRH,GHRH,somatostatin(GHIH), PRH, PIH
Targets: FSH/LH release from Anterior pituitary

to remember the pituitary hormones....
[anterior]God Protects All The Little Fishes
[posterior] And Others

What are the hormones involved in the emergency stress response and what secretes them?

GH,PRL,ACTH,TSH,LH,FSH,ADH,OT
(E)epinephrine
(NE)norepinephrine
secreted by the adrenal medulla

thymosins

secreted by: thymus
target: body cells
effect: immune defense by stimulating the development of T-lymphocytes

What are the 6 hyperglycemic hormones and their secreting glands?

(T4)thyroxine- thyroid

(GH)growth hor.- ant.pituitary

glucagon- pancreas

cortisol- adrenal cortex

(E)epinephrine-adrenal medulla

(NE)norepinephrine-adrenal medulla

oxytocin (OT)

*positive feedback

secreted by: posterior pituitary
target: mammary and uterus
effect: causes uterine contractions,
RELEASE of milk in mammary glands

antidiuretic hormone (ADH)

secreted by: posterior pituitary
target: kidney tubules
effect: increases H2O reabsorption

luteinizing hormone (LH)

secreted by: anterior pituitary
target: gonads (ovaries/testes)
effect: female- stimulates production of est. and prog. causing maturation of follicles and promoting ovulation
male- stimulates the interstitial cells of the testes to produce testosterone

follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)

secreted by: anterior pituitary
target: gonads (ovaries/testes)
effect: stimulates gamete production

thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)

secreted by: anterior pituitary
target: thyroid
effect: stimulates secretion of T3 and T4
increase metabolic rate
heat production
heart rate resp. rate up

adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)

secreted by: anterior pituitary
target: adrenal cortex
effect: stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce cortisol

growth hormone (GH)

secreted by: anterior pituitary
target: most body cells
effect: stimulates body cells to increase in size and divide

prolactic (PRL)

secreted by: anterior pituitary
target: mammary glands
effect: stimulates the PRODUCTION of milk

melatonin

secreted by: pineal
target: most cells
effect: influences daily rythems, may inhibit reproductive function, may be an antioxident

thyroxine (T4)
triiodothyronine (T3)

secreted by: thyroid
target: body cells
effect: increases basal metabolic rate and heat production
secreted by: thyroid
target: body cells
effect: increases basal metabolic rate and heat production

calcitonin (CT)

secreted by: thyroid
target: bone & kidneys
effect: inhibits osteoclasts decreasing Ca2+ concentration which is excreted in the urine

parathyroid hormone (PTH)

secreted by: parathyroid gland
target: bone and kidneys
effect: increases Ca2+ concentration in fluids by STIMULATING osteoclast activity and promoting absorption of Ca2+ and PO43- by the digestive tract

insulin

secreted by: pancreas
target: most cells
effect:
***HYPOglycemic regulator- the only hormone that decreases blood glucose levels

glucagon

secreted by: pancreas
target: liver
effect: breakdown of glycogen into glucose from non-carbohydrates, releases glucose into the blood
**Hyperglycemic regulator- increases blood glucose levels

aldosterone

secreted by: adrenal cortex
target: kidneys
effect: reabsorption of Na+ and H2O, also loss of K+ or H+

cortisol

secreted by: adrenal cortex
target: most cells
effect: helps resist stress
**Hyperglycemic regulator- increases blood glucose levels
Anti- inflammatory

Adrenal androgens

secreted by: adrenal cortex
target: all cells
bone formation, muscle growth

epinephrine (E)
(AKA adrenalin)

secreted by: adrenal medulla
target: most cells
effect: increases cardiac activity, BP, glycogen breakdown, and release of lipids from adipose
*emergency stress response

norepinephrine (NE)

secreted by: adrenal medulla
target: most cells
effect: increases cardiac activity, BP, glycogen breakdown, and glucose levels by releasing lipids from adipose
**Hyperglycemic regulator- increases blood glucose levels

estrogens

secreted by: ovaries, placenta
target: reproductive system
effect: oogenesis, follicle growth, structure growth, 2ndary sex characteristics

testosterone

secreted by: testes
target: reproductive system
effect: stimulates spermatogenesis, muscle growth, development of 2ndary sex characteristics

progesterone (PROG)

secreted by: ovaries, placenta
target: uterus, mammary glands
effect: regulates uterine cycle, accelerates movement of the egg, prepares uterus, prepares mammary glands

thymosins

secreted by: thymus
target: body cells
effect: immune defense by stimulating the development of T-lymphocytes
