Functions of hormones

reproduction, growth and development, maintenance of electrolyte, water, and nutrient balance of blood, regulation of cellular metabolism and energy balance, mobilization of body defenses.

lipid soluble hormones derived from cholesterol

gonadal and adrencoritcal

what is the major difference in the action of water soluble hormone versus a lipid soluble hormone

water soluble cannot enter cell, act on plasma membrane receptors and g protein messengers. Lipid soluble can enter cell, act on intracellular receptors that directly activate genes.

what controls the anterior pituitary gland

hypothalamus

which anterior pituitary hormone stimulates growth

gh

which anterior pituitary hormone stimulate milk production

prolactin

which anterior pituitary hormone stimulates cortisol

acth

which anterior pituitary hormone stimulate sex cell production

fsh

which hormones does the posterior pituitary secrete

oxytocin and adh

parathyroid hormone is the major regulator of which ions in the blood

CA2+

which blood glucose lowering hormone is produced in the pancreatic islet cells

insulin

which hormone promotes metabolic rate

TH

which hormone is stimulate be decreases in blood glucose

glucagon

which hormone combination is part of the body's long term response to stress

ACTH and CRH

the normal ph range for blood is

7.35-7.45

what are the components of blood

erythrocytes, buffy coat, plasma

which plasma proteins play a role in disease resistance

immunoglobins

the process by which formed elements of the blood develop is called

hematopoiesis

a megakaryoblast will develop into a

megakaryocyte

a red blood cells function is

to transport oxygen and carbon dioxide

an immature red blood cell is called a

reticulocyte

what are the phagocytes

neutrophil and monocyte

lympocyte

what are the ductless glands

endocrine glands

what do the kidneys secrete

erythropoietin and renin

what are autocrines

glands that act on the same cell that secreted them

eicosanoids have

leukotriens and prostaglandins

most hormone regulation is

negative feedback

what is the link between nervous and endocrine system

endocrine systems acts with the nervous system to coordinate and integrate activity of body cells

another name of posterior pituitary

neurohypophis

anterior pituitary hormones that act on other endocrine systems are called

tropic hormones

another name for adh is

vasopressin

an increase in vasopressin will most likely

increase blood pressure

parafollicular cells produce

calcitonin

increase calcitriol secretion will

increase absorption of calcium

aldosterone is secreted by the

adrenal cortex
