What hormones do the Anterior Pituitary consist of |
Human growth hormone Follicle stimulation hormone Thyroid Stimulating hormone Luteinizing hormone Adrenocorticotropic hormone Prolactin |
|
|
Human growth hormone Gland target effect hypo hyper |
Gland anterior gland target growth hormone effect growth of organs& tissue hypo dwarfism hyper Acromegaly Change in hands feet face |
|
|
Follicle stimulating hormone Gland target effect hypo hyper |
Gland anterior gland target female follicle in ovaries male- seminiferous tubules in testies effect female, stimulate follicles in ovaries to develop male stimulates development of semi furious tubules hypo ovary function may decline, reduced estrogen, stunt, sexual development. Sperm development will be stunted. hyper number of follicle that develop increase could result in a cyst |
|
|
Thyroid hormone LGland target effect hypo hyper |
Gland anterior target thyroid gland effect stimulate thyroid gland to release thyroxine hypo decreases thyroxine levels hyper increases thyroxine levels |
|
|
Luteinizing hormone Gland target effect hypo hyper |
Gland anterior target ovaries and testies effect causes ovalation in females produces testosterone in males hypo underdevelopment of sex organs hyper early development |
|
|
Adrenocorticotropic hormone |
Gland anterior target adrenal cortex effect causes the release of hormones involved in stress response hypo inability to deal with stress hyper hyper activity increased glucose levels |
|
|
Prolactin Gland target effect hypo hyper |
Gland anterior target mammary glands effect stimulate and maintain milk production after childbirth hypo reduced milk production hyper access stimulation of breath to produce milk |
|
|
What hormones make up the posterior pituitary |
ADH - antidiuretic hormone Oxytocin |
|
|
Antidiuretic hormone Gland target effect hypo hyper |
Gland posterior pituitary target tubules of kidney effect decreases the amount of water allowed to pass into urine hypo diabetes, insipidus, large amounts of urine causes, thirst, dehydration, and possibly kidney stones hyper small amounts of urine resulting and bloating, swelling and frequent urination build up of toxins in body Osmoreceptors in hypothalamus, detect, decreasing water content in body stimulates the secretion of ADH Alcohol and caffeine inhibit ADH secretion |
|
|
Oxytocin |
Gland posterior pituitary target mammary gland uterus effect induces contraction of uterine muscles during childbirth causes mammary glands release milk during nursing hypo delayed labor, limited amounts of milk hyper premature labour milk may spread out too easily Helps with bonding |
|
|
What is used to help induce labor? |
IV if petocyin |
|
|
Thyroid gland consistent of |
Thyroxin Calcitonin |
|
|
Thyroxin |
Gland thyroid gland target most body cells effect increase rate of metabolism hypo low, metabolic rate, weight gain, cold, slow pulse hyper Graves’ disease, high, metabolic rate, heart rate, weight loss, sweating, eyeballs protrude |
|
|
Hyposecretion of thyroxin disease |
Goiter enlarged thyroid Cretinism stunted growth weight gain hair loss, dry skin can be treated in adults by thyroxin injections |
|
|
Calcitonin Gland target effect hypo hyper |
Gland thyroid gland target bones effect moves calcium into bones from blood hypo excess calcium in blood less bones results in weaker bone structure hyper low blood calcium problems with clotting |
|
|
What do the parathyroid glands consist of? |
4 glands found on the surface of the thyroid Release PTH parathyroid hormone |
|
|
Parathyroid hormone |
Gland parathyroid glands target blood and bones effect move calcium from bones into blood hypo low calcium levels stunt in growth, malformation of teeth, muscle cramping hyper high calcium levels in blood and urine kidney stones back pain |
|
|
Why are calcitonin and parathyroid hormone said to be antagonistic hormones |
Calcitonin lowers the calcium level in blood, where, as parathyroid hormone raises it |
