Endocrine overview

This activity provides a brief review of endocrine glands and hormones.

AB
Name the hormones secreted by the anterior pituitaryGrowth hormone (GH), Luteinizing hormone (LH), Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), Adrenocorticotropin (ACTH), Follicle-stimulating (FSH). [Acronym- little green toads are fat]{Also prolactin and MSH}
Name the hormones secreted by the posterior pituitaryAntidiuretic hormone (ADH) and Oxytocin
Name the hormones secreted by the adrenal cortexGlucocorticoids (cortisol), mineralcorticoids (aldosterone), androgen or estrogen (think sugar, salt, sex)
Name the hormones secreted by the adrenal medullaEpinephrine and Norepinephrine
Which hormones are secreted by the thyroid?T3 and T4
The parathyroid secretes which hormone?PTH
This hormone controls general skeletal growth and influences metabolismGH
This hormone stimulates the adrenal cortex to increase glucocorticoidsACTH
This hormone regulates water reabsorption from the renal tubulesADH
This hormone regulates glucose/fat/protein metabolismGlucocorticoids (cortisol)
This hormone reduces inflammation and the immune responseGlucocorticoids (cortisol)
These hormones respond to stress with fight or flightEpinephrine and Norepinephrine
This hormone regulates fluid and electrolyte balance (Na and K) and controls BPAldosterone
These hormones regulate metabolic rateT3 and T4
This hormone regulates calcium and phosphate levelsPTH
Ductless glandsEndocrine glands
Endocrine glands secrete these substancesHormones
The mechanism that keeps body function in a narrow range sonsistent with lifeNegative feedback
Works with the endocrine system to control all body functionsNervous system
Endocrine secretions are released hereThe bloodstream
Tissue that responds to specific endocrine secretionsTarget tissue
Located on top of the kidneysAdrenals
Located around the tracheaThyroid
Located within the thyroid glandParathyroids
Part of the brain that connects with the endocrine systemHypothalamus
Inner part of the adrenal glandMedulla
Outer part of the adrenal glandCortex
Part of the pancreas that secretes insulinBeta Cells
Part of the pancreas that secretes glucagonAlpha cells
Hormone that promotes bone growthGrowth hormone
These are secreted in stressful situations to provide more glucoseGlucocorticoids
This chemical is necessary for normal metabolismIodine
Calcitonin keeps this chemical in the boneCalcium
Aldosterone maintains BP by retaining this chemicalNa
Parathormone (PTH) moves this chemical into the bloodCa
This chemical is excreted in response to aldosteroneK
Organic compound needed for normal cellular activityGlucose
Needed for glucose to enter cellsInsulin
