Endocrine glands

Terms in this set (26)

(pituitary gland/hypothalamus) the anterior pituitary gland is also called this
adenohypophysis
(pituitary gland/hypothalamus) The releasing and inhibiting hormones are produced by this
hypothalamus to control anterior pituitary
(pituitary gland/hypothalamus) This hormone is not a hormone that is secreted into the hypothalamohypophysial portal system
ACTH
(pituitary gland/hypothalamus) A person with no ADH secretion (diabetes insipidus) might have symptoms including these
extreme thirst and dehydration
(pituitary gland/hypothalamus) Hypersecretion of growth hormone has this effect
results in giantism in children
causes acromegaly in adults
increases the probability that one will develop diabetes
can lead to severe atherosclerosis
(thyroid/parathyroid) the thyroid gland is located here
inferior to the larynx and anterior to the trachea
(thyroid/parathyroid) this hormone is released in response to high blood calcium levels
calcitonin
(thyroid/parathyroid) this is the primary effect of T3 and T4
Increases metabolism
(thyroid/parathyroid) if parathyroid hormone levels increase, this effect is expected
osteoclast activity is increased
(thyroid/parathyroid) this symptom is not a result of hyperthyroidism
myxedema
(adrenal glands) the hormone secreted from the adrenal medulla
have the same effect as the sympathetic nervous system
(adrenal glands) this hormone helps maintain blood glucose levels by stimulating gluconeogenesis
cortisol
(adrenal glands) aldosterone:
increases sodium concentration in the blood
(adrenal glands) in women, excess androgens secreted by the adrenal cortex can cause excessive facial hair, acne, and increased sex drive
true
(adrenal glands) hypersecretion of cortisol (causing cushing's syndrome) has these symptoms except
a. muscle wasting
b. impaired wound healing
c. buffalo hump
d. low blood pressure
e. moon face
low blood pressure
(pancreas) this hormone is not secreted by the pancreas
glucocorticoids
(pancreas) The target tissue of glucagon is this
liver
(pancreas) this endocrine imbalance would cause hypoglycemia
hypersecretion of insulin
(pancreas) insulin increases this
The uptake of glucose by its target tissues
(pancreas) if a person who has diabetes mellitus forgot to take an insulin injection, this symptom may soon appear
acidosis
hyperglycemia
increased urine production
lethargy and fatigue
This statement about the pituitary gland is true
Develops from the floor of the brain and from the roof of the mouth
mammary glands are targets for this hormone
oxytocin and prolactin
the main hormone responsible for maintaining pregnancy is
progesterone
anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin, inhibit prostaglandin synthesis and as a result, reduce inflammation and pain
true
The thymus gland secretes a hormone that is involved in this
maturation of T lymphocytes
This condition will most likely occur if a healthy person receives an injection of T3 and T4
The secretion rate of TSH declines
