Name three target organs of parathyroid hormone
Bones, Intestines, Kidneys
Name a hormone secreted by the thyroid gland that acts to lower blood calcium
Calcitonin
Name the most important glucocorticoid secreted by the adrenal cortex
Cortisol
Name two thyroid hormones that affect metabolic rate
T3 & T4
Name the most important mineralocorticoid secreted by the adrenal cortex
Aldosterone
Name the pituitary hormone that stimulates secretion from the adrenal cortex
Aldosterone & Cortisol
Name the pituitary hormone responsible for causing kidneys to conserve water.
Antidiuretic (ADH)
Name two hormones secreted by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland
Antidiuretic, Oxytocin
Name two hormones secreted by the adrenal medulla
Epinephrine and Norepinephrine
Name the pituitary hormone responsible for stimulating cells to increase in size and divide more rapidly.
Growth Hormone
Name six hormones secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland
Growth Hormone, Luteinizing Hormone, Prolactin, Thyroid Stimulating, Adrenocorticotropic, Follicle stimulating
List five different effects produced by these medullary hormones.
Increased heart rate & force of cardiac muscle contraction, elevated blood pressure, increased breathing, decreased digestive activity, increased metabolic rate
Distinguish the two hormones secreted by the alpha and beta cells of the pancreatic islets
Insulin-beta; Glucagon-alpha
List two actions of this mineralocorticoid
It causes kidneys to conserve sodium ions (and water) & secrete potassium ions; Conserve H2O
Name the pituitary hormone responsible for causing contraction of uterine wall muscles
Oxytocin
Name a hormone that acts to raise blood calcium
Parathyroid Hormone
Name the pituitary hormone that is responsible for stimulating milk production
Prolactin
List three actions of this glucocorticoid
protein synthesis, release and use of fatty acids, stimulates liver to produce glucose
Name the pituitary hormone responsible for stimulating secretion from thyroid gland.
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
