Inhibin

ACTH

adrenocorticotropin hormone




-regulates the activity of the cortex of the adrenal gland

TSH

thyroid stimulating hormone




-stimulates production and release of thyroid hormone



GH

growth hormone




-stimulates growth of bone, cartilage and muscle

PRL

Prolactin




-breast development and maintains lactation after childbirth

FSH

Follicle Stimulating Hormone




-causes formation of ovarian follicles and stimulates estrogen production

LH

Luteinizing Hormone




-initiates ovulation and maintains corpus luteim

ADH

Anti diuretic Hormone




-reduce urine and sweat output


-increases water re-absorption in the kidneys

Oxytocin

-Uterine contractions



Thyroid Hormones

T3

T4

Calcitonin

Promotes Ca2 deposition and bone formation.

PTH

Parathyroid Hormone

-Raises blood calcium levels

Insulin

Stimulates glucose and amino acid uptake.

Lowers blood glucose.

Glucagon

Stimulates glycogenolysis.

Raises blood glucose.

Epinephrine and Norepinephrine


(Adrenal Medulla)

Fight or flight response

Increase heart rate,


increase skeletal muscle blood flow,


decrease skin blood flow

Cortisol


(adrenal cortex: zona fasciculata)

release in response to stress

increase formation of glucose from protein and fat


decrease inflammation

Aldosterone


(adrenal cortex: zona glomerulosa)

increase blood volume by causing kidneys to retain sodium in exchange for potassium

increased blood volume= increased blood pressure

Androgens


(adrenal cortex: zona reticularis)

male sex hormones produced in small quantities

converted to estrogens upon entering the blood

Melatonin

produces sleepiness during darkness

Erythropoietin

EPO

stimulates bone marrow to produce more red blood cells, increasing the oxygen carrying capacity of blood

Calcitriol

promotes absorption of Ca2 and phosphate

stimulates calcium release from bone

anterior lobe


-pars distalis


-pars intermedia


posterior lobe


follicle cells


colloid in follicle (thyroglobulin)


c cells (calcitonin)


principle cheif cells


oxyphil cells


medulla


cortex


-zona golmerulosa


-zona fasciculata


-zona reticularis


pancreatic islet


acini


estrogen


progesterone


testosterone

Mechanism of Type 1 Diabetes

autoimmune disorder

immune system destroys insulin producing beta cells in kidney


insulin dependent bc body does not produce insulin

Mechanism of Type 2 Diabetes

cause by loss of sensitivity to insulin

body still produces insulin

Normal Blood Glucose Concentration

70-100 mg/dl

How is Diabetes diagnosed?

A fasting value over : 140 on 2 separate times.


A BG value over: 200 in 2 hour glucose test
