Function of the endocrine system
|
product and secrete hormones that travel to other cells
|
|
|
What is the largest organ in endocrine system?
|
pituitary gland
|
|
|
What is the pituitary gland attached to?
|
hypothalamus
|
|
|
What does the pituitary gland control?
|
many glands in our body
|
|
|
What are the two lobes of the pituitary gland?
|
anterior and posterior
|
|
|
What controls the anterior lobe of the pitutitary gland?
|
hypothalamus hormones
|
|
|
What 6 hormoes does the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland secrete?
|
Follicle stimulating (FSH), Lutenizing (LH), Thyroid stimulation (TSH), Adrencorticotropic (ACTH, Prolactin (PRL), Growth Hormone (GH)
|
|
|
What does the FSH hormone target in women and men and what is the function
|
ovaries/testes
Fx: stimulate eggs/sperm production |
|
|
What does the LH hormone target in women and men and what is the function
|
Ovaries/testes
Fx: ovuation/testerone to be producted. |
|
|
What does the Thyroid hormone target and function:
|
Thryoid gland
Fx: stimulates production of thyroid hormone |
|
|
What does the Adrencorticortopic hormone target and function
|
Adrenal gland cortex
Fx: stimulates cortex to release more hormones |
|
|
What does the prolactin hormone target in men/women, function
|
mammary glands/testes
fx: stimulates production of milk and causes cells in tests more sensitive to lutenizing hormone |
|
|
What does the growth hormone target and function?
|
most cells and stimulates growth and development
|
|
|
What lobe of the pituitary gland is controlled by the hypothalamaus neurons
|
posterior lobe
|
|
|
Which lobe of the PG only stores and secretes hormones
|
posterior lobe
|
|
|
What two hormones does the posterior lobe of the pitu. gland secrete
|
antidiuertic and oxytocin
|
|
|
What does the antidiueric hormon (ADH) target and function?
|
kidneys/stimulates renal tubuals to retain more H20
|
|
|
What does the oxytocin (OT) hormone target and function?
|
uterus to stimulate contractions and mammany glands to release milk
|
|
|
What gland is located on anterior side of trachea?
|
thyroid
|
|
|
Which 2 hormones does the thryroid gland secrete?
|
Thyroid hormones and calcitonin
|
|
|
What is the target and function of the thyroid hormone?
|
most cells of the body and stimulates metabloic activity
|
|
|
What is the target and function of calcitonin
|
bones , stimulates osteoblast activity
|
|
|
Adrenal glands are located where?
|
on top of kidneys
|
|
|
what are the two functional layers of the adrenal glands
|
adrenal cortex (outer)
adrenal medulla (middle) |
|
|
What are the 3 zones of the adrenal cortex?
|
zona, zone fasiciculata, zone reticularis
|
|
|
What hormones does the zone secrete?
|
aldosterone hormones, target kidneys: stimulates sodium retention
|
|
|
What horomones does the zone fasiciculate secrete?
|
Releases cortisol targets: many cells and stimulates fats and proteins to be convereted into glucose
|
|
|
Zona reticularis secretes androgens and estrogens
|
function: each gender relies on this layer for production of the opposite gender hormones
|
|
|
What 2 hormones does adrenal medulla excrete?
|
epinephrine and norepinephrine
|
|
|
Where is the pancreas located?
|
under the stomach
|
|
|
What 2 hormones does the pancreas excrete?
|
insulin and glucagon horomone
|
|
|
What does the glucagon hormone target?
|
mainly the liver, stimulates glycogenolysis, producted by alpha cells
|
|
|
Erythropoietin - what % is producted in kidneys and liver?
|
85% in kidneys, 15% liver Targets red bone marrow and stimulates production of red blood cells
|
