ATI TEAS ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
(HORMONES) WITH THE LATEST
SCORE.
Hypothalamus --Answer-- Small collection of nuclei with many important
homeostatic functions - regulation of hunger, thirst, fluid balance, body
temp., sleep/wake cycle.
What two hormones are produced by the hypothalamus? --Answer-- 1.ADH -
Anti-diuretic hormone
2. Oxytocin
ADH - Anti-diuretic hormone --Answer-- Produced by the hypothalamus
Controls water balance - increase the amount of water retained by the
kidneys.
Diuretic vs. Anti-diuretic --Answer-- Diuretic = a chemical that increases
urine production - which decreases the amount of water in the body.
Anti-diuretic = Increases the amount of water retained by the body,
therefore decreasing urine production.
Oxytocin --Answer-- (Females only) A hormone produced by the
hypothalamus. Stimulates uterine contractions during birth also is triggered
by infant suckling to stimulate milk ejection by binding to mammary glands.
The hypothalamus works directly with which endocrine gland? --Answer--
Pituitary Gland
What connects the hypothalamus to the posterior pituitary gland? --Answer--
Infundibulum - a stalk like structure
What component of the pituitary gland is made up of nervous tissue and
does not produce any hormones? --Answer-- The posterior pituitary gland
(neuron hypophysis)
, What component of the pituitary gland is composed of hormone - secreting
glandular epithelium? --Answer-- Anterior pituitary gland (adenohypophysis)
(adeno = gland)
Where is oxytocin and ADH stored? --Answer-- The posterior pituitary gland
Tropic hormones --Answer-- A hormone that stimulates an endocrine gland to
release their hormone. (all pituitary glands)
Anterior Pituitary Hormones (6) --Answer-- ' TP FLAG'
1. TSH - Thyroid stimulating hormone
2. Prolactin
3. FSH - Follicle stimulating hormone
4. LH - Luteinizing hormone
5. ACTH - Adrenocorticotropic hormone
6. GH - Growth hormone
(TSH) Thyroid stimulating hormone --Answer-- Stimulates the development of
the thyroid gland.
TARGET CELL: Thyroid.
(PRL) Prolactin --Answer-- "lact" = milk ; Targets mammary glands where it
stimulates growth of mammary glands, milk production.
TARGET CELL: mammary glands
FSH - Follicle stimulating hormone --Answer-- (Gonadotrophin) Responsible
for maturation of follicle growth in ovaries. Also works with LH, to stimulate
the production of estrogen in females and testosterone in males.
TARGET CELL: male and female gonads
LH - Luteinizing hormone --Answer-- (Gonadotrophin) Stimulates the male
and females gonads - testes and ovaries. Stimulates the production of the
male hormone testosterone and the female hormone estrogen.
TARGET CELL: male and female gonads
ACTH - Adrenocorticotropic hormone --Answer-- Stimulates the adrenal
glands for cortisol production.
TARGET CELL: Adrenal glands
