epinephrine
norepi |
|
what hormones are secreted from the adrenal cortex?
|
ALD
cortisol |
|
what hormones are secreted from the pancreas?
|
glucagon
insulin somatostatin |
|
what controls the release of GH?
|
GNRH and somatostatin
|
|
what is the MOA of GH?
|
stimulates the increase in the size and rate of production of body cells.
enhances movement of aminoacids through membrane. growth of long bones |
|
what controls the release of prolactin?
|
secretion restrained by PRH
stimulation by PRH |
|
what is the source of control of TSH?
|
TRH from hypothalamus
|
|
what is the MOA of TSH?
|
controls secretion of hormones from the thyroid gland
|
|
what is the MOA of ACTH?
|
controls secretion of hormones from the adrenal cortex.
|
|
what is the source of control of ACTH?
|
CRH-corticotropin releasing hormone from hypothalamus
|
|
what is the source of control for FSH?
|
GnRH: gonadotropin releasing hormone from hypothalamus
|
|
what is the MOA of FSH?
|
development of egg containing follicles in ovaries stimulates follicles in ovaries to secrete estrogen: stimulates porduction of sperm cells in males
|
|
what is the source of control of LH?
|
GnRH from hypothalamus
|
|
what is the MOA of LH?
|
promotes secretion of sex hormones; plays role in release of egg in females
|
|
what is the source of control for ADH?
|
hypothalamus in response to changes in blood water concentration and blood volume
|
|
what is the MOA of ADH?
|
causes kidneys to reduce water excretion; in high concentration, raises BP
|
|
what is MOA of oxytocin?
|
contracts muscles in uterine wall and those associated with milk secretion
|
|
what is the source of control for oxytocin?
|
hypothalamus in response to stretch in uterine an dvaginal walls and stimulation of breasts
|
|
what are two ways that the hypothalamus influences end organ function?
|
-activates autonomic nervous system
-affects pituitary hormone release |
|
how does the hypothalamus activate the anterior pituitary? and what does it cause?
|
through special nerve axon channels the hypothalamic hypophyseal portal system : causes pituitary to secrete hormones
|
|
what two hormones are not self regulating?
|
prolactin
GH |
|
what hormones does the pituitary gland produce?
|
GH
prolactin LH FSH TSH ACTH |
|
what hormones does the pituitary gland store?
|
ADH
oxytocin |
|
what does excess prolactin produce?
|
galactorrhea and/or hypogonadism
|
|
what does excess GH produce?
|
gigantism and acromegaly
|
|
what is the blood supply to the thyroid?
|
superior and inferior thyroid arteries

|
what are the two distinct groups of hormone prducing cells the thyroid gland has?
|
follicular cells
parafollicular cells |
|
these cells produce, store and release T4 and T3?
|
follicular cells of the thyroid
|
|
these cells secrete calcitonin?
|
parafollicular cells of the thyoroid
