|
Gland: Posterior pituitary Target Tissue: V1 receptors in muscles (IP3 pathway) & V2 receptors in collecting ducts (cAMP pathway) |
Hormone: Antidiuretic hormone Function: Kidneys reabsorb water, vasoconstriction, water retention
Happens in response to low pressure |
|
|
Gland: Posterior pituitary Target Tissue: Uterine/vaginal musculature & cells around mammary ducts |
Hormone: Oxytocin
Function: Uterine contraction (positive feedback) & milk let down |
|
|
Gland: Anterior pituitary Target Tissue: Bones, CT, muscles |
Hormone: Growth hormone Function: Stimulates GHRH to increase production of proteins and increase size of bones, CT, muscle. Most active during ages 0-17 |
|
|
Gland: Anterior pituitary Target Tissue: Mammary glands |
Hormone: Prolactin Function: Causes milk production, gland development. (Only after birth) |
|
|
Gland: Anterior pituitary Target Tissue: 1. Thyroid, 2. Adrenal Cortex 3. Gonads |
Hormone: 1. Thyroid stimulating hormone 2. Adrenocorticotropic hormone 3. Gonadotropic hormone Function: 1.Stimulates thyroidproduction to produce thyroxin 2.Kidneys to produceand secrete hormones 3.Secrete sexhormones |
|
|
Gland: Thyroid Target Tissue: All metabolic cells |
Hormone: Triiodothyronine (T3) & Thyroxine (T4) Function: Increase metabolism of cells. Increase glucose uptake and breakdown. Increase PRO synthesis. Increase lipid breakdown for energy. |
|
|
Gland: Thyroid Target Tissue: Bones |
Hormone: Calcitonin Function: Increase calcium uptake into bones. Released when blood calcium is high. Stimulates osteoblasts, inhibits osteoclasts. |
|
|
Gland: Parathyroid Target Tissue: Blood, kidneys, intestine |
Hormone: Parathyroid hormone Function: Increase calcium in blood. Released when blood calcium is low. Takes calcium from bones. Kidneys increase vitamin D production. Neg. feedback when blood Ca+ is high enough |
|
|
Gland: Adrenal medulla (inner portion) Target Tissue: Sympathetic nervous system (BV, blood glucose, breathing HRT) |
Hormone: Epinephrine, norepinephrine (amine hormones) Function: Fight or flight. Epinephrine causes BV in muscles to open up to get more blood --> oxygen, glucose Adrenal glands lie on top of kidneys. Hypothalamus controls medulla via nerves. |
|
|
Gland: Adrenal cortex (outer portion) Target Tissue: Blood glucose |
Hormone: Cortisol Function: Regulates how glucose is processed. Inhibits protein synthesis. Lipid release from adipose. Stimulates liver to release glucose from glycogen Also sex hormones Hypothalamus controls cortex via anterior pituitary through ACTH |
|
|
Gland: Testes Target Tissue: All. Mainly bone, muscles, brain |
Hormone: Testosterone Function: Enlargement of tissue. Maturation of tissue. |
|
|
Gland: Ovaries Target Tissue: Brain. Sub-cutaneous fat. Endometrial. Bone |
Hormone: Estrogen & progesterone Function: Maturation of tissue Development of tissue. |
|
|
Gland: Pancreas (Islets of Langerhans) Target Tissue: Muscles |
Hormone: Insulin, glucagon, & somatostatin Function: Glucose production by liver lipids into Gly+Fa. Glucose storage into cells. Lipid storage. Protein synthesis. |
|
|
Gland: Pineal |
Hormone: Melatonin Function: Reproductive cycle Diurnal rhythms |
|
|
Gland: Thymus (in chest)
|
Hormone: Thymosin Function: Matures t-lymphocytes Stops functioning by 40's, turns to fat |
