  • what hormones are produced by the posterior pituitary (neurohyphosis)

    oxytocin and ADH

  • stimulates contractions and milk ejection

    oxytocin

  • increases water reabsorption in kidneys

    reduce urine output

    ADH

  • what hormones are produced by the anterior pituitary (adrenohyphosis)

    GH, TSH, ACTH, FSH, LH, prolactin

  • what are tropic hormones

    hormones that stimulate the release of another hormone

  • stimulates growth, protein synthesis, and cell replication

    growth hormone

  • stimulates thyroid hormone release

    thyroid stimulating hormone - TSH

  • stimulates adrenal cortex to release corticosteroids

    adrenocortitropic hormone

  • stimulates gamete (sex cell) production

    follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)

  • ovulation and hormone production

    leuitinzing hormone - LH

  • stimulates lactation

    prolactin

  • regulates metabolism, growth, and development

    thyroid gland

  • increases metabolic rate

    thyroid hormone

  • decreases blood calcium levels, inhibits osteoclasts, increases calcium excretion

    calcitonin

  • regulates blood calcium levels

    parathyroid gland

  • increases blood calcium levels, stimulates osteoclasts

    parathyroid hormone

  • what does increases osteoclast activity (increased PTH) lead to

    bone resorption (breaking down bone tissue)

  • where are the adrenal glands loated

    on top of kidneys

  • what does ACTH stimulate

    the adrenal cortex

  • what is produced in the adrenal glomerulosa

    aldosterone (mineralcoriticoids)

  • what is produced in the adrenal fasciculata

    coritsol

  • what is produced in the adrenal reticularis

    sex hormones

  • what is produced in the adrenal medulla

    epinephrine and norepinephrine

  • increases blood sodium levels

    aldosterone

  • regulates stress and metabolist

    cortisol

  • what increases blood glucose levels

    glucagon (alpha cells)

  • glycogenolysis

    break down of stored glycogen into glucose to raise glucose levels

  • gluconeogenesis

    production of glucose from non carbohydrates (amino acids) to raise glucose levels

  • glycogenesis

    production of glycogen from glucose

  • glycolysis

    splitting glucose directly into ATP for energy

  • what causes goiter

    low iodine levels reduce T3 and T4 hormones , increases TSH , thyroglobulin accumulation causes goiter
