A&P II - UTA BIOL 2458 - Exam 1
Questions And Answers 100% Correct
HGH or Human Growth Hormone... Stimulates secretion of insulin-like growth factors
(IGFs) that promote growth, and protein synthesis
TSH or Thyroid Stimulating Hormone... Stimulates synthesis and secretion of thyroid
hormones by thyroid
FSH or Follicle Stimulating Hormone... Ovaries initiate development of oocytes; testes
stimulate testosterone production
Luteinzing Hormone... Ovaries stimulate ovulation; testes stimulate testosterone
production
Prolactin PRL... Promotes milk secretion by mammary glands
ACTH or Adrenocorticotropic Hormone... Stimulates glucocorticoid secretion by adrenal
cortex
, A&P II - UTA BIOL 2458 - Exam 1
Questions And Answers 100% Correct
MSH or Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone... Uncertain complete role probably regulates
skin pigmentations
Posterior Pituitary... Does not synthesize hormones. Stores and releases hormones made
by the hypothalamus
Oxytocin... During and after delivery of baby affects uterus and breasts. Enhances smooth
muscle contraction in wall of uterus. Stimulates milk ejection from mammary glands.
ADH... Decreases urine production by causing the kidneys to return more water to the
blood. Decreases water lost through sweating and constriction of arterioles which increases
blood pressure.
Thyroid Glands... Produces Thyroxins and Calcitonin.
Throxin T3 and T4... Both increase BMR, stimulate protein synthesis, increase use of
glucose and fatty acids for ATP production.
