  11. name the glucocorticoid that is important for growth spurts, muscle mass, development of secondary sex characteristics and libido. Affects the adrenals in women and testes in men after puberty
    androgens
  12. In the pancreas, _____ glands secrete enzymes into the duodenum.

  15. *In the pancreas, ___ cell secrete glucogen, which raises blood sugar
    alpha cells
  16. *In the pancreas, ___ cels secrete insulin, and lowers blood sugar
    beta cells
  17. *In the pancreas, ___ cells secrete somatostatin, and inhibits secretions of insulin and glucogen, and regulate carb metabolism
    delta cells
  18. *What does the hypothalamus release to stimulate or inhibit the release of following hormones from the pituitary
    • 1) human growth hormone
    • 2) TSH
    • 3) FSH
    • 4) LH
    • 5) ACTH
    • 1) growth hormone releasing hormone
    • 2) Thyrotropin releasing hormone
    • 3) gonadotropin releasing hormone
    • 4) gonadotropin releasing hormone
    • 5) corticotropin releasing hormone
    • *all release these hormones
  19. *What does the hypothalamus release to stimulate or inhibit the release of following hormones from the pituitary
    • 1) prolactin
    • 2) HGH and TSH
    • 1) prolactin inhibiting hormone (dopamine acts like PIH)
    • 2) Growth hormone inhibiting hormone
  20. __ is any metabolic disorder resulting in chronic polyuria
    diabetes
  21. ___ ___ is an inability to make or use insulin
    diabetes mellitus
  22. ___ is a type of diabetes that resulted from an autoimmune destruction, lack of insulin production
    Type 1 diabetes
  23. ___ is a type of diabetes where cells become unresponsibe to insulin
    type 2
  24. symptoms of diabetes
    glucose spills into urine. polyuria
  25. long term effects of diabetes
    glucose damages microvasculature, leading to atherosclerosis, nephropathy, poor healing and blindness.
  26. gland attached to the roof of the 3rd ventricle pineath the posterior corpus collosum.
    • -secretes melatonin at high levels in the dark and during sleep
    • -helps regulate circadian rhythms, sleep-wake cycles. (SAD)
    • pineal gland
  27. hormones the thyroid gland releases and function
    • thyroxine: regulates metabolsim
    • calcitonin: inhibits release of calcium from the bones
  28. parathyroid release which hormone and function
    PTH: stimulates the release of calcium from bones
  29. islet cells in the pancreas release which hormone and function
    • insulin: decreases blood sugar by promoting the uptake of glucose
    • glucagon: increases sugar by stimulating the breakdown of glucogen from the liver
  30. testes release which hormone and function
    testosterone: regulates sperm cell production and secondary sex characteristics
  31. ovaries release which hormone and function
    • Estrogen: stimulates egg maturation, controls secondary sex characterists.
    • Progesterone: prepares the uterus to receive a fertilized egg.
  32. adrenal medulla release which hormone and function
    epinephrine: stimulates fight or flight response
  33. adrenal cortex release which hormone and function
    • cortisol: stress response, increase blood glucose & decrease immune response.
    • Aldosterone: regulates sodium content in blood.
    • Androgens: adult body form, greater muscle mass, libido.
  34. pineal gland release which hormone and function
    melatonin: sleep cycles, reproductive cycles in many mammals
  35. type of diabetes that results from antidiuretic hormone hyposecretion. Without ADH the collecting duct does not reabsorb much water, so more water passes in the urine
    diabetes insipidus.
