Cards

Term
ACTH adrenocotricropin
Definition
Structure-Peptide
Target-Adrenal Cortex
Primary action- Increases Steroidegenisis in adrenal cortex
Regulation-CRH secretion stimulates release:ACTH inhibits release
Term
TSH thyroid stimulating hormone
Definition
Sturcture-Glycoprotein
Target-Thyroid Gland
Primary Action- Increases thyroid hormone synthesis and secretion
Regulation-TRH induces secretion:thyroid hormones block release
Term
Growth Hormone
Definition
Structure-peptide
Target-single chain peptide
Primary action-increase in height during puberty
Regulation-Estrogen stops growth in girls this happens earlier
Term
FSH
Definition
Structure-Glycoprotein
Target-SEmi-tubules, ovarian follicles(female)
Primary action- males-increases sperm production,in female stimulates follicle stimulation
Regulation-FSH/LH-RH stimulates release-inhibin intervenes with release
Term
LH
Definition
Structure-glycoprotein
Target-male-leydig cells,female-stimulates follicle maturation
Primary action-induces final maturation of follicle estrogen secretion,ovulation, CL formation and progesterone secretion. In males increases synthesis and secretion of androgens
Regulation- FSH/LH-RH stimulates release
Term
Prolactin
Definition
Structure-long proteins/peptides
Target-Mammary Glands
Primary action-increases syn.of milk proteins and growth of mammary glands
Regulation-Secretion is continuously blocked by PlH secretion permits release
Term
TRH thyrotropinreleasing Hormone
(HYPOTHALMIC)
Definition
Localization-Paraventricular Nucleus
Structure-Tripeptide
Target pit.Hormones-Thyrotropin/TSH influenced by TRH
Term
GnRH(HYPOTHALMIC)
Definition
Localization-Arcuate Nucleus
Structure-Decapeptide
Target pit.Hormones-LH and FSH
Term
CRH(HYPOTHALMIC) corticotropin-releasing hormone
Definition
Localization-Paraventicular Nucleus
Structure-41AA
Target pit.Hormones-ACTH,B-and A- Lipotropin, B-Endorphin
Term
GHRH(HYPOTHALMIC)-stimulant/growth hormone releasing hormone
Definition
Localization- Arcuate Nucleus
Structure-45aa
Target pit.Hormones-Growth Hormone
Term
GHIH-HYPOTHALMIC-growth hormone inhibiting hormone
Definition
Localization-Anterior Periventricular
Structure-14aa protein
Target pit.Hormones-Growth hormone
Term
PIF-Prolactin inhibiting Factor HYPOTHALMIC
Definition
Localization-Aruate Nucleus
Structure-Dopamine
Target pit.Hormones-Prolactin
