Anatomy and Physiology 2- Human endocrine organs
Posterior Pituitary
1. ADH and Oxytocin 2. ADH: increase in blood volume, Oxytocin: causes the uterus to contract and the lactation of the breasts . 3.Hypothalmus 4. ADH: targets the kidney cells Oxytocin-targets the smooth muscle of the uterus and cells in the breast. ADH-
Thyroid gland 1.What hormones are secreted from here? 2.What do these hormones do to the body? 3.Where is this hormone made? 4. Target Cell of the Hormone
1. Calcitonin 2. Decrease calcium in the blood 3.
Adrenal glands 1. What hormones are secreted from here? 2. What do these hormones do to the body? 3. Where is this hormone made? 4. Target Cell of the Hormone
1. Cortisol and epinephrine 2. Epinephrine-increases the heart rate 3. Made in the medulla in the adrenal glands 4. Cortisol- Epinephrine- targets the lung and nervous system
Ovary 1. What hormones are secreted from here? 2. What do these hormones do to the body? 3. Where is this hormone made? 4. Target Cell of the Hormone
1. Estradiol 2. Produces female secondary sex characteristics 3. Produced in the Ovaries 4.
Pancreas 1.What hormones are secreted from here? 2.What do these hormones do to the body? 3.Where is this hormone made? 4. Target Cell of the Hormone
1. Glucagon and Insulin 2. Glucagon- increase blood sugar, Insulin- decreases blood sugar 3. Pancreas 4.Glucagon-body and liver cells, Insulin-body cells
Pineal gland 1. What hormones are secreted from here? 2. What do these hormones do to the body? 3. Where is this hormone made? 4. Target Cell of the Hormone?
1. Melatonin 2. Helps regulate sleep patterns 3. Pineal Gland 4. Targets Body Cells, to inhibit GnRH so tat it regulates sleep cycles
Testes 1. What hormones are secreted from here? 2. What do these hormones do to the body? 3. Where is this hormone made? 4. Target Cell of the Hormone
1. Testosterone 2. Promotes sperm production 3. Produced in the testes 4.
