Flashcards do conjunto (19)

  1. 1Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)Source: Posterior Pituitary
    Target: Kidney, sweat glands, arterioles
    Action: conserve water by decreasing urine volume, perspiration, and in creasing blood pressure
  2. 2Oxytocin (OT)Source: Posterior Pituitary
    Target: Uterus, mammary glands
    Action: Stimulate contraction of uterine muscles during childbirth; stimulates ejection of milk from mammary gland after childbirth
  3. 3Human Growth Hormone (HGH)Source: Anterior Pituitary
    Target: Liver, skeletal muscles, cartilage, bone
    Action: Promote growth of body cells by increasing protein synthesis, promote tissue repair, increase blood glucose
  4. 4Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)S: Anterior Pituitary
    TO: Thyroid Gland
    A: Stimulate synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones
  5. 5Melanocyte stimulating Hormone (MSH)S: Anterior Pituitary
    TO: Brain, skin
    A: Not clearly known. May influence brain activity. Affects skin pigmentation
  6. 6Luteinizing Hormone (LH)S: Anterior Pituitary
    TO: Ovaries, testes
    A: Female - trigger ovulation, stimulate estrogen secretion
    Male - stimulate secretion of testosterone
  7. 7Follicle-stimulating Hormone (FSH)S: Anterior Pituitary
    TO: Ovaries, testes
    A: F - initiate monthly development of oocytes; stimulate secretion of estrogen
    M - stimulates sperm production
  8. 8Prolactin (PRL)S: Anterior Pituitary
    TO: Mammary glands
    A: Stimulates milk production and secretion
  9. 9Thyroid Hormones (T3 and T4)S: Thyroid glands
    TO: Whole body
    Action: Increase metabolic rate; stimulate protein synthesis; increase use of glucose and fatty acids for energy; accelerate body growth; contribute to development of nervous sytem
  10. 10CalcitoninS: Thyroid Gland
    TO: Bones, kidneys
    A: Decrease blood calcium; promote bone formation; inhibits osteoclasts
  11. 11Parathyroid Hormone (PTH)S: Parathyroid Gland
    TO: Bones, kidneys
    A: increases blood calcium; promote bone resorption; limits loss of calcium in urine; stimulates osteoclasts
  12. 12Epinephrine / NorepinephrineS: Adrenal Medulla
    TO: Heart, skeletal muscle, liver, adipose tissue, lungs
    A: Fight/flight response; increase HR and BP; increase blood flow to heart, liver, skeletal muscle and adipose tissue; dilate airway; increase blood glucose; enhance sympathetic division of ANS
  13. 13AldosteroneS: Adrenal Cortex
    TO: Kidneys
    A: Increase blood sodium and water; decrease blood potassium; adjust blood pressure and blood volume
  14. 14CortisolS: Adrenal Cortex
    TO: Liver, muscle, adipose tissue
    A: Increase protein and lipid breakdown; increase glucose formation; dampens inflammation and decreases immune response
  15. 15InsulinS: Pancreas
    TO: Liver, muscle, adipose tissue
    A: Lower blood glucose; promote formation of glycogen; promote cell growth and differentiation
  16. 16GlucagonS: Pancreas
    TO: Liver, muscle, adipose tissue
    A: Raises blood glucose; stimulates breakdown of glycogen
  17. 17TestosteroneS: Testes
    TO: Testes
    A: regulate sperm production; promote development of male sex characteristics
  18. 18Estrogen and ProgesteroneS: Ovaries
    TO: Uterus, mammary glands and many cells in body
    A: Regulate female reproductive cycle, promote development of female sex characteristics, maintain pregnancy
  19. 19MelatoninS: Pineal Gland
    TO: Brain
    A: Regulates biological clock; higher levels in darkness
