Answers.
Hormones - Answer chemical messengers that are manufactured by the endocrine glands,
travel through the bloodstream, and affect organs or tissues
amino acid derivative hormones - Answer structurally similar to amino acids
peptide hormones - Answer chains of amino acids
steroid hormones - Answer derived from cholesterol
eicosanoids - Answer derived for arachidonic acid, which is a fatty acid of cell membranes
(ex; prostaglandin = inflammation in the body)
hypothalamus controls - Answer pituitary gland & secretes releasing hormones & inhibiting
hormones (RH)(IH)
hypothalamus acts as - Answer own endocrine organ
hypothalamus contains - Answer autonomic nervous centers and controls the suprarenal
medulla (adrenal glands)
the hormones created in the hypothalamus but released by the posterior pituitary lobe are -
Answer antidiuretic hormone and oxytocin
the pituitary gland is called the - Answer hypophysis
the infundibulum is - Answer the stalk that attaches the pituitary to the hypothalamus
, neruosecretions are - Answer ADH and oxytocin because they are produced and released by
neurons
ADH is also called - Answer vasopressin because it constricts blood vessels to elevate blood
pressure
ADH tells kidneys to - Answer retain water and produce less urine, increases fluid in
body/blood, increases blood volume, increases blood pressure
ADH is released in a response to - Answer too much salt in the blood and a drop in blood
pressure
oxytocin (OT) in woman - Answer smooth muscle in uterus, contractile cells in mammary
glands uterus contractions & causes myoepithelial cells of mammary glands to release milk
oxytocin (OT) in men - Answer smooth muscle contraction in prostate gland
thyroid-stimulation hormone (TSH) - Answer tells thyroid to produce; calcitonin, thyroxin (T4)
& triiodothyronine (T3)
adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) - Answer tells adrenal gland to produce; glucocorticoid
(cortisol)
follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) {female} - Answer tells ovaries of female to; mature oocytes
& release estrogen
follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
{men} - Answer tells seminiferous tubules (testes) to; create sperm
luteinizing hormone (LH) {female} - Answer stimulates ovaries to cause; ovulations and release
progestin (progesterone)
luteinizing hormone (LH) {male} - Answer stimulates interstitial cells in male to; release
androgens (testosterone) & estrogen (small amount)
