The systems that controls regulation of body activities

Endocrine and nervous system

Glands are grouped in an organ system called

Endocrine system

The chemical messenger that influence a wide range of activities such as growth, development and metabolic activities

Hormones

It regulate processes at a slower rate

Hormones

Pineal gland produces what hormones

Melatonin

Hypothalamus produces what

Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH)

Pituitary gland has two parts

Anterior pituitary and posterior pituitary

Anterior pituitary has produced 6 hormones

Follicle-stimulating hormone ( FSH)


Luteinizing hormone (LH)


Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)


adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)


Prolactin (PRL)


Growth hormone (GH)


Posterior pituitary produces 2 hormones

Oxytocin


Vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone, ADH)

Thyroid gland produces what

Thyroid hormones ( T3 and T4)


Calcitonin

Parathyroid produces what

Parathyroid hormones ( PTH)

Adrenal glands has two types

Adrenal medulla and adrenal cortex

Adrenal medulla of the adrenal glands produces what

Epinephrine and norepinephrine

Adrenal cortex of the adrenal glands produces what

Glucocorticoids


Mineralocorticoids

Pancreas produces what

Insulin and glucagon

Ovaries produces what

Estrogen


Progesterone or progestin( synthetic)

Testes produces what

Androgen

Vasopressin or

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)

Regulates biological rhythms

Melatonin ( pineal gland)

Regulates anterior pituitary gland

Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (hypothalamus)

Stimulates ovaries and testes

Follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone (anterior pituitary)

Stimulates the thyroid gland

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (anterior pituitary)

Stimulates the adrenal cortex

Adrenocorticotropic hormone ( anterior pituitary)

Stimulates mammary gland cells

Prolactin ( anterior pituitary)

Stimulates growth and metabolic functions

Growth hormone

Stimulates contraction of smooth muscle cells in uterus and mammary glands

Oxytocin ( posterior pituitary)

Promotes retention of water in kidneys;influences social behavior and bonding

Vasopressin ( posterior pituitary)

Stimulate and maintain metabolic processes

Thyroid hormones (T3 and T4)

Lowers blood calcium level

Calcitonin (thyroid gland)

Raises blood calcium level

Parathyroid hormone

Raise blood glucose level; increase metabolic activities; constrict certain blood vessels

Epinephrine and norepinephrine (adrenal medulla)

Raise blood glucose level

Glucocorticoids (adrenal cortex) and glucagon ( pancreas)

Promote reabsorption of Na+ and excretion of K+ in kidneys

Mineralocorticoids

Lowers blood glucose level

Insulin (pancreas)

Raises blood glucose level

Glucagon (pancreas)

Stimulates uterine lining growth;promote development and maintenanceof female secondary sex characteristics


(also present in male but do not have very prominent effects

Estrogen ( ovaries)

Promotes uterine lining growth (alsopresent in male but do not have veryprominent effects)

Progesterone (ovaries)

Supports sperm formation; promotes development and maintenance of male secondary sex characteristics

Androgen (testes)

Melatonin is responsible for

Sleepwake pattern

Stimulates ovulation

Luteinizing hormone

Hyposecretion of this will lead to sterility

Interstitial cell-simulating hormone

Stimulates production of melanin

Melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH)

Hypersecretion of growth hormone will lead to

Giantism

Hyposecretion of growth hormone will lead to

Dwarfism

When growth hormone is still produced by the anterior pituitary even though long bone growth has ended

Accromegally

Vasopressin prevents production of what

Urine

Hyposecretion of vasopressin will lead to

Diabetes insipidos

Thyroid hormones or

Thyroxine

T3 and T4 means

Triiodothyronine and tetraiodothyronine

Hyposecretion of this will lead to cretinism

Thyroid hormones or thyroxine

Hypersecretion of thyroxine or thyroid hormones will lead to

Goiter

Epinephrine and norepinephrine produced by the adrenal medulla are called

Cathecolamines

Glucocorticoids (cortisol), mineralocorticoids (aldosterone) and sex hormones produced by the adrenal cortex are called

Corticosteroids

Ovaries and testes are called

Gonads

Placenta produces what hormone that indicates the impregnation of a woman

Human chronic gonadotropin (HCG)

Where is the thymus gland located

Back of the heart

Thymus gland produces what hormones

Thymosine

Thymosine serves as the

Incubator for the maturation of our T cells

Cortisol is the other term for

Glucocorticoids

Aldosterone is the other term for

Mineralocorticoids
