"the concentration of a blood metabolite affects a control center which increases or decreases that metabolite" is known as |
Negative Feedback |
|
the process that metabolizes glucose to 2 pyruvates |
Glycolosis |
|
the breakdown of glycogen to glucose |
Glycogenolysis |
|
Glands that produce hormones into the blood and have special capillaries that suck up the hormones |
Endocrine Glands |
|
Glands whose secretions pass through a system of ducts that lead to the exterior of the body |
Exocrine Glands |
|
Hormone's speed of effects for Proteins and Steroids |
Proteins (uptown) are immediate and Steroids (downtown) is slowly |
|
Larger part of the Pituitary |
Anterior |
|

Anterior |
|
The Anterior Pituitary is also known as the |
Adenohypophysis |
|
The Posterior Pituitary is also known as the |
Nuerohypophysis |
|
80% of what the Adrenal Cortex makes is |
Cortisol |
|
Cortisol's trigger |
ACTH |

K+ |
|
Hormone is synergist to PTH. It increases blood calcium from absorption in the GI tract. Origin is the Kidneys and the target are the kidneys, GI tract and bone |
Calcitriol |
|
Hormone made in skin from UV rays which helps supply Vitamin D3. Origin is the liver. |
Calcidiol |
|
Hormone does similar things as GH but last longer and is a synergist to GH. Origin is the Liver (made in the Anterior Pituitary) and the target are muscles, bones |
IGF-1 (Insulin Like Growth Factor) |
|
Hormone increases blood calcium when low. Is antagonist to Calcitonin. Origin is the Parathyroid glands and the target are the kidneys, bone and cells |
PTH |
|
Hormone for bone deposition, blood calcium in youth, antagonist to PTH. Origin is Parathyroid gland and targets are the kidneys, bone and cells
|
Calcitonin |
|
Hormone raises metabolic rate, alertness and has been known to be related to retardation. Origin is the Thyroid Gland and the target is most tissues
|
T4 - Thyroxine |
|
Hormone that causes Broncho dilation allowing more Oxygen in the blood. Origin is the Adrenal Gland and is synergist to Cortisol. Also related to the fight or flight response |
Epinephrine / Norepinephrine |
|
Hormone that stimulates egg maturation in female folicles in ovaries and sperm production in the male Testes. Origin is Anterior Pituitary and the target are the gonads |
FSH - Follicle Stimulating Hormone |
|
Hormone promotes growth and repair in bone, growth plates and muscles. Synergist to IGF-1. Origin is the Anterior Pituitary and the targets are the cones, cartilages, muscles, liver, heart |
GH |
|
Hormone that is 1) inhibited by estrogen until birth 2) responsible for milk production after birth. Origin is the Anterior Pituitary and the targets are the brain and breasts
|
PRL - Prolactin |
|
Hormone stimulates release of the T3 and T4. Origin is the Anterior Pituitary and the target is the thyroid |
TSH - Thyroid Stimulating Hormone |
|
Hormone that stimulates the Adrenal Glands to product Cortisol. Origin is the Anterior Pituitary and the target is the Adrenal Glands |
ACTH - Adreno Cortico-trophic Hormone |
|
Hormone produced from a) suckling b) labor c) orgasm d) bonding in females. Origin is the Posterior Pituitary and the targets are the Uterus, milk ducts of the breasts |
Oxytocin |
|
Hormone also know as vasopressin, is inhibited by alchohol and causes water retention. Origin is the Posterior Pituitary and the target are the kidneys and blood vessels
|
ADH - Antidiuretic Hormone |
|
Hormone that promotes ovulation and corpus lutem growth in females and stimulates testosterone production in males. Origin is the Anterior Pituitary and the targets are the gonads |
LH - Luteinising Hormone |
|
Hormone produced by the corpus lutem and related to the implantation and fertilization of the egg. Origin is the Ovary and target is the Uterus (endometrium) |
Progesterone |
|
Hormone made by the Atria which inhibits Renin, causes water retention. Origin is the heart and the target are the kidneys |
ANP/ANH - Atrial Naturetic Hormone / Atrial Naturetic Peptide |
|
What causes the increase in BP due to generalized vasoconstriction, release of Aldosterone and ADH, and stimulates the thirst center. Origin is the lungs and the target is the Kidneys |
Angiotensin II |
|
Hormone that helps to raise blood glucose levels. Origin is the pancreas and the target is the liver |
Glucagon |
|
Hormone that facilitates the decrease in blood glucose levels. Origin is the Pancreas and the target are muscle fat tissue |
Insulin |
|
Hormone that stimulates Osteoblast for bone marrow. Origin are the Osteoblast cells and the target is the bone marrow |
