what are the two main types of hormones?

steroid and non steroid hormones
how do sterioid hormones move through the blood?

attached to a protein steroid hormones are not water soluble
what type of hormones are lipid soluble and can move freely across the plasma membrane

steroid hormones
what part of the brain controlls the pituitary

the hypothalmus
what are the 7 hormones released by the anterior pituitary
- growth hormone (GH)
- prolactin (PRL)
- thyroid stimulation hormone (TSH)
- adrenocorticotropic (ACTH)
- leutenizing hormone (LH)
- folicle stimulating hormone (FSH)
- melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH)
what gland releases growth hormone and what does it do
- anterior pituitary gland
- growth of cells
what gland releases prolactin (PRL) and what does it do
- anterior pituitary
- milk producing cells in the breast
what gland releases thyroid stimulation hormone (TSH) and what does it do
- anterior pituitary
- stimulation of growth and metabolism
what gland releases adrenocorticotropic hormone and what does it do
- anterior pituitary
- releases cortisol from adrenal cortex
what gland releases leutenizing hormone (LH)
- anterior pituitary
- stimulates egg and sperm production
what gland releases follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and what does it do
- anterior pituitary
- production of estrogen and testosterone
what gland releases melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH) and what does it do
- anterior pituitary
- skin pigment
what gland produces oxytocin and what does it do
- posterior pituitary
- stimulates labor contractions
what gland produces antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
- posterior pituitary
- regulates water levels
what does the thyroid produce

hormones T3 and T4
what are hormones T3 and T4 hormones responsible for

regulate the metabolism of carbs, lipids, and proteins
what regulates the T3 and T4 hormones

hypothalmus will release TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone)
what does the parathyroid gland produce

PTH (parathyroid hormone)
what is parathyroid hormone responsible for

increase calcium in blood by stimulating osteocytes to breakdown bone
what is the parathyroid hormone regulated by

negative feedback loop stops the release of PTH
what hormones does the adrenal medulla release

norepinephrine and epinepherine
what is the function of norepinephrine and epinephrine

elevate blood pressure, increase: heart rate, force of contraction, respiratory rate and blood glucose level
what regulates the release of norepinephrine and epinerphrine

direct sympathetic nerve impulse
what are the main hormones of the adrenal cortex
- aldosterone (steroid)
- cortisol (steroid)
- sex hormones
what releases aldosterone and what does it do
- adrenal cortex
- causes kidneys to reabsorb na+ (sodium) and release K+ (potassium)
what releases cortisol and what does it do?
- adrenal cortex
- stimulates liver to make glucose from amino acids and glycerol
what is aldosterone regulated by

renin/ angiotensin pathway
what is coritsol regulated by

ACTH from the anterior pituitary
what does the pancrease release

glucagon and insulin
what does glucagon do
- stimulates liver to breakdown glycogen into glucose
- increase blood sugar
what regulates glucagon

negative feedback loop
what does insulin do
- stimulates liver to make glycogen
- helps cells to absorb sugar from blood
what regulates the release of insulin

negative feedback loop
what hormones are released by the reproductive glands

testosterone,estrogen, progesterone and human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG)
what hormones do the kidneys release
- erythropoietin
- renin
what does erythropoietin do

stimulate red blood cell production
what does renin do

aldosterone helps control blood pressure
