13.1 endocrine glands, hormones and related anatomic terms

acid-staining cell of anterior lobe of pituitary gland; secretes growth and lactogenic hormones

anterior lobe of pituitary gland (hypophysis) as distinguished from posterior lobe (neurohypophysis)

glands located near kidney (also calle suprarenal glands)

adrenal medulla hormone, which stimulates smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands, to assist body in meeting stress (also called epinephrine)

any adrenal gland pathology (adrenopathy)

hormone of anterior pituitary gland that promotes growth and development of adrenal cortex to secrete glucocorticoids (also spelledadrenocorticotrophin)

androgen or male sex hormone secreted by adrenal gland

hormone secreted by posterior pituitary that stimulates water reabsortion by distal and collecting kidney tubules (also called vasopressin)

basic-staining cells of anterior lobe of pituitary which secrete thyrotropin, a thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), adrenocorticotropin (ACTH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH)

hormone secreted by cells of placental chorion

non-staining cell of anterior pituitary lobe

gelatinous substance in follicles of thyroid gland that contain hormone secreted by thyroid

ourter portion of adrenal gland that secrets mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, androgens, and some estrogens

adrenocortical glucocorticoid hormone

adrenocortical glucocorticoid hormone (also called hydrocortisone)

ovarian hormones (estradiol and estrone) that influence cycle of changes (estrus) in female gental tract

normally functioning thyroid

anterior pituitary hormone that stimulates growth f ovarian follicles and secretion of etrogen in the femle and development of seminiferous tubules and sperm cells in male

group of adrenocortical steroids that are concerned with protein, fat, and carbohydrte metabolism and aid body in resisting stress

pituitary hrmones that influence gonads

chemical substance secreted by endocrine gland

pituitary gland

funnel-shaped passage with neural tracts from hypothalamus of brain to pituitary gland

essential element of thyroid hormone

specialized pancreatic cells secreting insulin, glucagon, and pancreatic polypeptide (PP) into circulation.

anterior pituitary hormone that stimulats foration of corpus luteum and progesterone in femal and development and ecretion of testosterone in interstitial cells of testes

inner portion of adrenal glands producing epinephrine and norephinephrine

adrenocortical steroid that affects sodium and potassium balance

posterior lobe of pituitary gland

hormone secreted by adrenal medlla (also called noradrenaline)

cell in parathyroid glands

hormone of posterior lobe of pituitary gland that stimulates uterine contractions during parturition

parathyroid gland secretion that regulates calcium and phosphrus content of blood and bones

glands, normally two on each side, behind or embedded in thyroid gland.

small gland located near base of brain

fusiform cell of posterior lobe of pituitary gland

master gland attached to base of brain that exercises control over other endocrine glands

hormone producted by corpus luteum, whose function is to prepare uterus to receive fertilized ovum by causing growth and development of uterine endometrial lining

pituitary hormone responsible for mammary gland development and milk production in pregnancy

growth hormone (GH) secreted by acidophils and antrior pituitary gland (also called somatotrophin)

adrenal glands

masculinizing hormone of testis that induces and maintains seconday sex characteristics

large gland situated on the front part of neck just below larynx

thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) of anterior pituitary gland that promotes growth and development of thyroid gland and stimulates it to secrete thyroxine an triiodothyronine, the two major hormones of thyroid gland (also called thyrotrophin)

one of two iodine-laden hormones making up thyroid hormone, whose main function is to regulate metabolic rate and processes of growth and tissue differentiation (also called T₄)

second of two hormones that make up thyroid hormone, containing less iodine than thyroxine but having the same functions (also called T₃)

antidiuretic hormone (ADH) of posterior pituitary
