Study Guide- Endocrine System

blood condition

urine condition

adrenocorticotrophic hormone

antidiuretic hormone

dialates the bronchial tubes; secreted by the inner area of the adrenal gland, adrenal medulla; increases heart rate and blood pressure

secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland; stimulates the adrenal cortex to release cortisol and aldosterone

secreted by the adrenal cortex(outer area) of the adrenal gland; regulates blood volume and blood pressure; stimulates the reabsorbtion of sodium; water follows sodium

secreted by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland; reabsorbs water from the kidneys; decreases urine output to keep fluid in body

secreted by the thyroid gland; moves calcium from the blood to the bones; decreases blood calcium levels, but increases the the strength of the bones

This is needed in the blood for proper function of our body tissues, especially muscles.

Also is needed for muscles to contract.

antidiuretic hormone is not secreted adequately, or the kidney is resistant to its effect

another name for adrenaline (same definition)

female

secreted by the ovaries; stimulates development and maintenance of secondary sex characteristic such as breast development, menstrual period, increased fat, axillary and genital hair growth

secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland; Women= stimulates the maturity of an eggMen= stimulates sperm production

follicle-stimulating hormone

growth hormone

sugar

secreted by the pancreas; secreted when blood sugar is low and increases blood sugar; causes the conversion of glycogen to glucose

This is needed to make ATP (energy)

stored glucose in the liver

secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland; stimulates the growth of the skeleton and muscle

a chemical that brings a message to a cell

secreted by the pancreas; is the only hormone that lowers blood glucose; helps transfer the glucose (sugar) from the blood to the cell so we can make ATP; Causes the conversion of glucose to glycogen

a goiter will be caused due to the lack of this is a persons diet; it will lead to low secretion of thyroid hormones

fats are improperly burned leading to an accumulation of ketones and acids in the body; a primary complication of type 1 diabetes

milk

luteinizing hormone

secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland; Women= stimulates ovulationMen= stimulates testosterone production

secreted in a 24 hour biorythm

secreted by the adrenal medulla of the adrenal gland; constricts blood vessels to increase blood pressure

another term for noradrenaline

99 mg/dL or lower

secreted by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland; milk let down reflex and uterine contractions

located behind the stomach; secretes insulin and glucagon

secreted from the parathyroid glands; increases blood calcium

located in the center of the brain, functioning to secrete melatonin and serotonin

prolactin

secreted by the ovaries; increases the thickness of the uterine lining; responsible for the preparation and maintenance of the uterus in pregnancy

secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland; stimulates milk production in breasts

hormone present in many tissues, but first isolated from the prostate gland

a site on the cell that accepts the hormone

aldosterone stimulates the reabsorption of this and water follows it

secreted by the testes; responsible for the secondary male sex characteristics such as increased body and facial hair, increased muscle and a deeper voice

secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland; stimulates the thyroid gland

thyroid stimulating hormone

insulin resistance- this means the cell does not have the receptors to accept the insulin

involves destruction of the beta cells, NO insulin is produced
