Adrenal Cortext that Produces cortisol and other glucocorticoids (zone)

What hormone Decreases carbohydrate breakdown - Increases the synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrates (gluconeogenesis) ; Glucose concentration in blood increases -Increases fat breakdown - Inhibits protein synthesis, leading to an increase in amino acid concentration in blood -Can diminish the immune response -One of our body’s long-term stress hormones -Helps keeps glucose levels stable between meals

What hormone increases the production of red blood cells by the red bone marrow

What Hormone increases the renal reabsorption of water; causes vasoconstriction

What organ(s) secretes Estrogen?

What hormone(s) – increases cell division and growth; increases glucose breakdown and cellular respiration; increases protein synthesis; stimulates nervous system development and activity

PCV

What hormone causes muscle contraction in uterine wall during childbirth, milk ejection during lactation; has no known function in males

What hormone Sustains milk production after birth; amplifies the effect of LH in males

what hormone lowers plasma calcium levels by increasing osteoblast activity as well as by increasing the renal excretion of calcium (decreasing renal reabsorption of calcium)

What hormone stimulates ovarian follicle development in females; stimulates Sertoli cells in males (Sertoli cells promote spermatogenesis)

What hormone stimulates cell division; stimulates growth; increases catabolism of fats, while decreasing catabolism of glucose; increases protein synthesis

Red blood cells

What hormone lowers plasma glucose by causing glucose to move inside of cells in muscle and adipose tissue, and by causing glucose to be stored in the liver as glycogen

What hormone raises plasma calcium levels by increasing osteoclast activity, increasing renal reabsorption of calcium, and increasing the activation of vitamin D (Vitamin D increases calcium absorption by the small intestine)

What Pituitary lobe stores and release ADH, Oxytocin

What cell produces t4 and t3

What hormone stimulates secretion of T3 and T4

What hormone controls secretion of hormones from the thyroid gland

What organ secretes melatonin?

What hormone helps maintain the thickness of the endometrium of the uterus; regulates menstrual cycle

Platelets

What hormone regulates menstrual cycle; promotes development of female secondary sex characteristics; promotes development of female reproductive structures?

What hormone raises plasma glucose by causing glycogen in the liver to be converted into glucose; increases gluconeogenesis in the liver

_______ are protiens that bind to attack antigens

What hormone increases the renal reabsorption of sodium and hence water as well because water will follow the sodium via osmosis; increases the renal secretion of potassium (potassium excreted through urine)

What hormone Decreases urine production by reducing volume of H2O the kidneys excrete; also causes vasoconstriction to increase blood pressure

What hormone stimulates ovulation in females; increases estrogen and progesterone production in females; stimulates Leydig cells in males (Leydig cells make testosterone)

Adrenal Cortex zone Produces male sex hormones

Adrenal Cortex Inner zone

__________:a granulocyte whose cytoplasmic granules stain bright red or bright pink with acidic stains *Can perform phagocytosis, but slower than neutrophils *Elevated in parasitic worm infections and allergic reactions *Nucleus is usually bilobed but could have more than 2 lobes

What secrets Progesterone?

Anterior lobe of Pituitary gland

What organ(s) produces (PTH) Parathyroid hormon

_____: a granulocyte whose cytoplasmic granules stain a pale violet-pale pink -nucleus is multi-lobed and irregular in mature neutrophils (segs) - immature cells are called “bands” and have a horseshoe shaped nucleus - phagocytize bacteria as well as some fungi and viruses - Can destroy microbes by degranulating, phagocytizing, or by trapping with “nets.”

We make ______ against non-self things in our blood

agranulocyte (usually no visible cytoplasmic granules) * Often smaller than granulocytes * Has spherical nucleus with a thin rim of bluish cytoplasm around it * Two specific types of B cells -plasma cells (cells which produce antibodies) -B memory cells * Three specific types of T cells - cytotoxic T cells, memory T cells, and T helper cells

What secrets Testosterone?

____:agranulocytes * largest of the WBCs *Have horseshoe or U-shaped nucleus an a light blue or light purple cytoplasm *Elevated in chronic illnesses * Mature into macrophages * Will often see vacuoles in the cytoplasm * active phagocytes

White Blood Cells

Nerve impulses from the hypothalamus travel through the infundibulum, and stimulate nerve endings in __________ lobe to release hormones; hormones released from posterior lobe but made in hypothalamus

What adrenal gland portion makes up outer portion of gland, and secretes steroid hormones

What Pituitary lobe secretes: Growth hormone (GH) Prolactin (PRL) Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) Luteinizing hormone (LH)

What hormone is development of egg-containing follicles in ovaries; stimulates follicular cells to secrete estrogen; in males, stimulates production of sperm cells

Antibodies attack ______ (alr attatchto blood)
