Hypothalamic releasing- and inhibiting-hormones
|
Located in the Hypothalamus.
It regulates anterior pituitary hormones. |
|
Human Growth Hormone(hGH)
|
Located in the Anterior Pituitary.
It stimulates cell division, bone and muscle growth, and metabolic functions. |
|
Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone(TSH)
|
Located in the Anterior Pituitary.
Stimulates the Thyroid Gland. |
|
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone(ACTH)
|
Located in the the Anterior Pituitary. Stimulates the Adrenal Cortex to secrete glucorticoids.
|
|
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone(FSH)
|
Located in the Anterior Pituitary.
Stimulates production of ova and sperm from the ovaries and testes. |
|
Luteinizing Hormone(LH)
|
Located in the Anterior Pituitary.
Stimulates sex hormone production from the ovaries and testes. |
|
Prolactin(PRL)
|
Located in the Anterior Pituitary.
Stimulates milk production from the mammary glands. |
|
Antidiuretic Hormone(ADH)
|
Located in the Posterior Pituitary.
It promotes the retention of water by the kidneys. |
|
Oxytocin(OCT)
|
Located in the Posterior Pituitary.
Stimulates uterine muscle contractions and release of milk by the mammary glands. |
|
Thyroxin(T4)
|
Located in the Thyroid. It effects all the tissues and increases metabolic rate and regulates growth and development.
|
|
Calcitonin
|
Located in the Thyroid. It targets bones and kidneys to lower blood calcium by inhabiting release of calcium from the bone and reabsorbtion of calcium by kidneys.
|
|
Parathyroid Hormone(PTH)
|
Located in the parathyroid. It raises blood calcium levels by stimulating the bone cells to release calcium, the intestine to absorb calcium from food, and the kidneys to reabsorb calcium.
|
|
Glucorticoids( eg. cortisol)
|
Located in the the Adrenal Cortex. It stimulates tissues to raise blood glucose and break down protein.
|
|
Mineralocorticoids(eg.aldosterone)
|
Located in the Adrenal Cortex.
It promotes reabsorbtion of sodium and water by the kidneys. |
|
Gonadocorticoids
|
Located in the Adrenal Cortex.
It promotes secondary sexual characteristics |
|
Epinephrine and norepinephrine
|
Located in the Adrenal Medulla.
Flight-or-Flight hormones. Raise blood glucose levels. |
|
Insuline
|
Located in the Pancreas.
It lowers blood glucose levels and promotes the formation of glycogen in the liver. |
|
Glucagon
|
Located in the Pancreas.
It raises blood glucose levels by converting glycogen to glucose. |
|
Estrogen
|
Located in the Ovaries.
It stimulates uterine lining growth and promotes development of the female secondary sexual characteristics. |
|
Progesterone
|
Located in the Ovaries.
It promotes growth of the uterine lining and prevents uterine muscle contractions. |
|
Testosterone
|
Located in the Testes.
It promotes sperm formation and development of the male secondary sexual characteristics. |
|
Cerebellum
|
Controls muscle coordination and balance.
|
|
Medulla Oblongota
|
Controls subconscious activities, such as heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, swallowing, and vomiting.
|
|
Pons
|
Relays information between the cerebellum and cerebral cortex.
|
|
Midbrain
|
Recieves specific sensory input; connects the hindbrain to the forebrain.
|
|
Thalamus
|
Connects various parts of the brain; relys information from the sense.
|
|
Hypothalamus
|
It regulates the pituitary gland, heart rate, blood pressure, and temperature; Controls drives such as a hunger, thirst, and sexual desire.
|
|
Frontal Lobes
|
Associated with conscious thought, intellegence, memory, and personality; control voluntary muscle movements.
|
|
Temporal Lobe
|
Involved in auditory reception
|
|
Parietal Lobes
|
Recieve sensory infromation from the skin, and process information about the body position.
|
|
Occipital Lobes
|
Process visual information
|
|
Corpus Callosum
|
Connects the right and left cerebral hemispheres through the nerve tracts
|
