HORMONES ARE ALL THE RAGE
where is aldosterone synthesized
adrenal cortex
what do T cells do
allow for identification of pathogens so they can pass info to P cells and build antibodies
there are 2 major cells in the islets of langerhan
alpha / beta
another name for vasopressin
argine vasopressin / antidiuretic hormone
the thyroid (anterior side) secretes 7 diff. types of hormones, which did he discuss specifically
calcitonin
what is calcitonin responsible for
decrease of blood calcium
in the pancreas there are 2 diff. types of function
endocrine / exocrine
where is leutenizing hormones sythesized
hypothalamus
what is parathyroid (posterior side) responsible for
increases blood calcium
what do luteinizing cells do
initiates release of testosterone
inside structures adjacent to lobules are what
interstitial cells of leydig
what is the endocrine function of the pancreas
islets of langerhans
when is the renin system activated
low blood volume / pressure, sodium deficiency
what does calcitonin lower
lowers blood calcium
where is the thymus located
manubrium
where is vasopressin & oxytocin stored
neurohypopysis
what happens if there is not enough calcium in the body
parathyroid will pull calcium from the bone to cause it to be brittle
what is considered the master gland
pituitary gland
the endocrine glands include
pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, and pineal glands
what is the primary hormones for women
progesterone / estrogen
what does the growth hormone do (GH)
promotes growth in the body by stimulating cells to rapidly inc. in size and divide
what does the thyroid stimulating hormone do (TSH)
regulates function of the thyroid gland
what does the adrenocorticotropin hormone do (ACTH)
regulates functions of aderal cortex
T3/T4 meaning
regulating metabolism
what is leydig responsible for
releasing luteinizing hormones
follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)
responsible for development of ova in ovaries / sperm in testis, stimulates the ovary to secrete estrogen
what does the thymus do
responsible for maturation of T cells and plays a role to fight diseases
what do alpha cells do
secrete glucagon, breaks down glycogen in liver
what do beta cells do
secrete insulin, binds to glucose, stimulates gylcolgenisis in liver
what are the 3 major stressors of aldosterone
sodium deficiency, loss of blood volume, dec. in blood pressure
What do neuro-secretory cells synthesize
some synthesize oxytocin / vasopressin, others synthesize releasing hormones
what does the melanocyte stimulating hormone do
stimulates melanocytes to produce more melanin, darkening skin
what does the prolactin hormone do
stimulates milk production in breasts
what does the luteinizing hormone do
stimulates secretion of sex hormones in both men / women and plays role in releasing ova in females
what is the primary hormone for men
testosterone in the presence of LH
what happens in the adrenal gland
the causation of faisal construction
what happens if there is too much calcium in the body
thyroid will feed the bone causing there to be a blockage around / in the heart (atherosclerosis)
the hypothalamus generates 2 types of hormones
vasopressin & oxytocin
what hormones are not synthesized in the pituitary gland
vasopressin & oxytocin
