Cards

Term
The Two Kinds of Hormones
Definition

Peptide Hormones: Activate enzyme systems

 

Steroid Hormones: Activate DNA in cells

Term
Hormone Secretion Glands
Definition
  1. Hypothalamus
  2. Pituitary Gland
  3. Thyroid
  4. Parathyroid Gland
  5. Adrenal Gland
  6. Pancreas
  7. Testes
  8. Ovaries
  9. Thymus
  10. Pineal Gland
  11. Digestive Tract
Term
Hypothalamus Hormones
Definition
  1. ADH (Anti-Diarrhetic Hormone)
  2. Oxytocin
Term
Pituitary Gland
Definition
  1. TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)
  2. ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic Hormone)
    Tropic hormones stimulate other glands
  3. FSH (Follicle-stimulating hormone) - stimulates a follicle in the cervix containing an egg to increase in size
  4. LH (Luteinizing Hormone) - triggers ovulation
  5. PRL (Prolactin)
  6. Somatotropic (Growth Hormone) - controls normal growth and development
  7. MSH (melanocyte-stimulating Hormone) - melanin production
Term
Thyroid
Definition
  1. Thyroxine - Controls how fast the metabolic rate occurs
  2. Triiodothyronine - controls how fast the metabolic rate occurs
  3. calcitonin - lowers blood calcium levels
Term
Parathyroid Gland
Definition
  1. PTH (parathyroid hormone) - Works in opposition with the Thyroid Gland hormones
Term
Adrenal Gland
Definition

 

Adrenal Cortex:

  1. Glucocorticoids (cortisol) - stimulates the liver to turn non carbohydrate molecules into sugar
  2. Mineralcorticoids (aldosterone) - antidiarrhetic
  3. Sex Hormones

Adrenal Medulla:

  1. Epinepherine and Norepinepherine

 

Term
Pancreas Hormones
Definition
  1. Insulin
  2. Glucagon - works in opposition, raises blood glucose levels
Term
Testes Hormones
Definition
  1. Testosterone
Term
Ovaries Hormones
Definition
  1. Estrogen
  2. Progesterone - stimulates and controls every aspect of pregnancy
Term
Thymus Hormones
Definition
  1. Thymosin - huge role in production and activation of white blood cells. The "T" in Helper T cells stands for thymus
Term
Pineal Gland Hormones
Definition
  1. Melatonin - creates the sleep regulating melatonin
Term
Neurotransmitters
Definition
  1. Acetylcholine
  2. Tyrosines
    Epinephrine
    Norepinephrine
    Dopamine
  3. Seratonins
    GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid)
    Glycine
    endorphins, enkephalins
