Pharmacology Exam 3

what is the lobe of the pituitary gland that produces stimulating hormone, as well as growth hormone, prolactin, and melanocyte-stimulating hormone?

what is the response of the hypothalamus and then the pituitary and adrenals to wakefulness and sleeping?

what is the interconnection of the hypothalamus and pituitary to regulate the levels of certain endocrine hormones through a complex series of negative feedback systems?

what is the "master gland" of the neuronendocrine system; regulates both nervous and endocrine responses to internal and external stimuli

what is the combination of the nervous and endocrine systems, which work closely together to maintain regulatory control and homeostasis in the body

what is the gland found in the sella turcica of the brain; produces hormones, endorphins and enkephalins and store two hypothalamic hormones

what is the lobe of the pituitary that receives antidiuretic hormone and oxytocin via nerve axons from the hypothalamus and stores them to be released when stimulated by the hypothalamus

what are the chemicals released by the hypothalamus into the anterior pituitary to stimulate the release of anterior pituitary hormones

what is the outer layer of the adrenal gland; produces glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids in response to adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulation; also responds to sympathetic stimulation

what is the inner layer of the adrenal gland; a sympathetic ganglion, it releases norepinephrine and epinephrine into circulation in response to sympathetic stimulation

what are the steroid hormones produced by the adrenal cortex; include androgens, glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids

what is the response of the hypothalamus and then the pituitary and adrenals to wakefulness and sleeping; normally, the hypothalamus begins secretion of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) in the evening, peaking at about midnight; adrenocortical peak response is between 6 and 9 AM; levels fall during the day until evening, when the low level is picked up by the hypothalamus and CRF secretion begins again

what are the steroid hormones released from the adrenal cortex; they increase blood glucose levels, fat deposits, and protein breakdown for energy

what are the steroid hormones released by the adrenal cortex; they cause sodium and water retention and potassium excretion

what are the drugs used to block bone resorption and lower serum calcium levels in several conditions

what is the hormone produced by the parafollicular cells of the thyroid; counteracts the effects of parathyroid hormone to maintain calcium levels

lack of thyroid hormone in an infant; if untreated, leads to mental retardation

a synthetic salt of thyroxine (T4), a thyroid hormone; the most frequently used replacement hormone for treating thyroid disease

a genetically linked disorder of overactive osteoclasts that are eventually replaced by enlarged and softened bony structures

produces thyroid hormone and calcitonin

the L-isomer of triiodothyronine (T3) and the most potent thyroid hormone, with a short half life of 12h
