endocrine system

a person who studies hormones and the endocrine organs

produce non hormonal substances like sweat and saliva and have ducts that carry these to a membrane surface

ductless glands produce hormones and release their hormones into surrounding tissue fluid

stimulates heart, circulation, metabolism

premenstrual syndrome is called

tired from time zone change

acts to inhibit glucagon on effects, decreases blood sugar levels, increases fat storage

an above normal level of insulin in the blood of a person can be caused by sensitivity to insulin

affects anterior pituitary gland to relase hgh

affects anterior pituitary gland to stop releasing hgh

affects anterior pituitary to release thyroid stimulating hormone

affects anterior pituitary to release adrenocorticotropin

affects anterior pituitary gland to release follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone

affects anterior pituitary gland to release prolactin

affects anterior pituitary gland not to release prolactin

affects anterior pituitary gland to release melanocyte stimulating hormone

affects anterior pituitary gland to not relase melanocyte stimulating hormone

a rare disease characterized by failure of the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland to secret adh, results in the excretion of a large volume of extremely dilute urine

consists of two separate iodine hormones

used to stimulate enzymes in almost all cells to stimulate glucose oxidation

protruding eyes

enlargment of the thyroid to to an increase in the size of follicles surround thyroid, an inability ot meet the needsof the body for T3

regulates the levels of calcium and phosphate in blood

affects calcium blood levels stimulating osteoclast activity to increase bone absorption

relax the pubic symphysis and dilate uterine cervix

acts on thyroid gland to increase its production of hormones

a gonadotropin which reguates the gonads and gamete production, girls- fix to control development of the ovum, ovulation and the levels of progesteron and estrogen
male- initiate spermatogenesis

a gonadotropin which regulates the production of the gonad hormone
males to stimulate interstital cells of leydig to produce testosterone, in some cases it must be converted to dihydrotestosterone also governs descent of testes before birth

undescended testicle

angiotensinogen is a protein produced by the liver, normally found inactive in the blood, renin converts angiotensinogen to the active angiotensin 1, then converted to angiotensin 2 in the lungs, then it stimulates the secretion of aldosterone and thus controls sodium levels and water levels

supresses the relase of adh and aldosterone and stimulates water and sodium ion loss in the kidney

outermost and will produce mineralocorticoids minerals na, h2o

middle layer and produced glucocorticoids (sugar levels)

inner layer and produces both glucocorticoids and gonadocorticoids

used to alter dna transcription to effect gluconeogenesis and enhance effects of corticosterone

levles are high after eating and low just before bed

the production of some estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone

most potent, stimulate heart rate, constrict blood vessels in non essential areas, dilate bronchioles, increase metabolism

effects are similar to those of epinephrine and less effective on heart muscles,
