define hormonal stimuli - answer release hormones in response to other endocrine
organs
list major endocrine glands - answer1. pituitary
2. thyroid
3. parathyroid
4. pancreas
5. thymus
6. pineal
7. gonads
8. adrenal
what is the neuroendocrine gland - answerhypothalamus
hypothalamus relation with anterior pituitary - answerregulates hormonal output of
anterior pituitary
hypothalamus relation with posterior pituitary - answersynthesizes 2 hormones for
storage and later release
location of pituitary gland - answersella turcica of sphenoid bone
6 hormones that the anterior pituitary produces - answer1. growth hormone (GH)
2. thyroid stimulating hormones (TSH)
3. Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
4. Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)
5. Luteinizing hormone (LH)
6. Prolactin (PRL)
2 hormones that the posterior pituitary produces - answer1. Oxytocin
2. Antidiurectic hormone (ADH)
Posterior pituitary hormones are produced by - answerthe hypothalamus but stored in
posterior pituitary gland
, growth hormone stimulates - answerbody cells to increase in size
growth hormone stimulated by - answerIGH (insulin growth factors) - AKA somatomedin
thyroid stimulating hormone function - answerpromotes normal development and activity
of the thyroid gland
what stimulates the release of TSH? - answerthyrotropin
function of ACTH - answerstimulates the adrenal cortex to release corticosteroids
what stimulates the release of ACTH? - answercorticotropin releasing hormone (CRH)
function of FSH - answersex cell production
function of LH - answerstimulates gonadal hormone production
function of prolactin - answerpromotes milk production
two hormones secreted by neurhypophysis - answeroxytocin and antidiurectic
function of oxytocin - answerstimulates uterine contractions; milk ejection
function of antidiurectic - answerreabsorb and conserve water - decreased plasma
osmolarity
location of the thyroid gland - answeranterior throat
thyroid hormone derived from - answerthyroglobulin
thyroglobulin location - answerthyroid follicles
function of thyroid hormone - answerincrease rate of metabolism
two hormones of thyroid include - answerthyroxine and triiodothyronine t3/t4
disease caused by hyperthyroidism - answergraves disease
hypo section of thyroid in adults - answermyxedema
hormone that is produced by parafollicular cells of thyroid - answercalcintonin
