- stress response
- growth & development
- protein, lipid, carbohydrate metabolism
- sexual maturation
-
Growth Hormone, location of gland, stimulus for release & it's functions?
- Growth Hormone--> Anterior Pituitary-->anabolism & catabolism
-
-
Prolactin, location of gland, stimulus for release & it's functions?
- Prolactin
-
--Location: Anterior Pituitary - --Stimulus: pregnancy & nursing
- --Function: milk synthesis
-
Andrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) location, stimulus, and function?
- Location: Anterior Pituitary
- Stimulus: decreased (cortisol) or stress
- Function: adrenal cortex--> cortisol, etc.
-
Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) location, stimulus and function?
- Location: Anterior Pituitary
- Stimulus: decreased (thyroid hormone)
- Function: thyroid gland--> thyroid hormone
-
Oxytocin hormone location, stimulus and function?
- Location: Posterior Pituitary
- Stimulus: nursing
- Function: promotes milk release (let-down)
-
Antidiuretic hormone location, stimulus and function?
- Location: Posterior Pituitary
- Stimulus: increased plasma osmolaity
- Function: water reabsorption in kidney
-
Thyroid hormone (TH) location, stimulus and function?
- Location: Thyroid Gland
- Stimulus: decreased thyroid hormone increased Thyroid stimulating hormone
- Function: helps maintain basal metabolic rate (BMR)
-
Aldosterone location, stimulus and function?
- Location: Adrenal Cortex
- Stimulus: decreased ECF(extra cellular fluid)
- Function: Na+(sodium) reabsorbtion in the kidney--> water reabsorbtion
-
Corisol location, stimulus and function?
- Location: Adrenal Corex
- Stimulus: increased (ACTH)
- Function: maintains blood pressure
- resistance to stress
- carb, protein, and fat metabolism
-
Epinephrine & Norephinephrine location, stimulus, and function?
- Location: Adrenal Medulla
- Stimulus: sympathetic discharge
- Function: maintains blood pressure & resistance to stress
-
Glucagon location, stimulus and function?
- Location: Pancreas
- Stimulus: decreased glucose
- Function: increases glucose
-
Insulin (I) location, stimulus, and function?
- Location: Pancreas
- Stimulus: increased glucose
- Functions: anabolism--glucose to glycogen & lowers glucose
-
Which forms of thyroid hormone are inactive versus active?
T3 is active and T4 is inactive
-
Does the inactive form remain inactive and why?
T4 doesn not remain inactive because it is transformed to T3 at tissue level
-
What is insulin-dependent tissue?
Tissue that requires the presence of insulin for glucose to get into the cell
-
List insulin-dependent tissues.
Skelectal , cardiac muscle and adipose tissue
