pitauatory gland
Situated at the base of the brain, links the nervous and endocrine
systems,
to control and co-ordinate bodily functions and maintain the internal
balance of the body called 'homeostasis'. Regulates the Pituitary
gland. ---- - ANSWERS-hypothalamus
hormones secreted from the anterior pituitary gland: - ANSWERS--
thyrotrophin - control thyroid gland
- adrenocorticotrophic - outer cortex of adrenal gland
- gonadotrophin - ovaries and testes FH + LH. oestrogen and
testosterone.
- growth hormone
- prolactin
- melanocyte stimulating hormone
hormones secreted from the posterior pituitary gland: - - ANSWERS--
Oxytocin ( milk + uterus contraction )
- Anti diuretic hormone
,what hormones are secreted from the thyroid gland? - - ANSWERS-
Thyroxine ( BMR + Metabolism)
- Calcitonin ( lowers calcium + phosphorus in blood)
what hormones are secreted from the parathyroid gland? -
ANSWERS-parathormone - ( regulates calcium + phosphorus /
vitamin D)
what 3 hormones are secreted from the adrenal cortex? - ANSWERS--
glutocortocoids - (metabolism)
mineralcortocoids/aldosterone - (regulation of sodium + chloride)
- sex cortocoids/androgens - (sexual development)
where is noradrenalin and adrenalin secreted from? - ANSWERS-
from adrenal medulla
where is the islets of langerhan and what does it produce? -
ANSWERS-in the pancreas
- insulin ( beta cells )
- glucagon ( alpha cells)
what 2 hormones stimulate the ovaries and testes? - ANSWERS-FSH
- oestrogen in women. sperm in men.
LH - progesterone and production of corpus lutem in females.
testosterone in men.
,whats the hypo secretion of the pineal body in the brain? -
ANSWERS-SAD
- needs melatonin
- secretes serotonin
thymus stimulates which hormone? - ANSWERS-thymosin which
stimulates disease fighting T cells.
function of the prostate gland? - ANSWERS-The prostate secretes
fluid that nourishes and protects sperm. During
ejaculation, the prostate
squeezes this fluid into the urethra, and it's expelled with sperm as
semen.
the testes produce? - - ANSWERS-2 gonads produce sperm and
testosterone at temperature of 35 degrees.
where is sperm transported and a site where can immature sperm
develop? - ANSWERS-epididymis (male)
whats the purpose of the vas deferens? - ANSWERS-in a male this is
the passagewa for epididymis and storage fro uretha and penis.
what does the scrotum do? - ANSWERS-The scrotum regulates the
temperature of the testes and maintains it at 35
, degrees Celsius.

from the bladder for excretion and an organ of
.
what type of tissue is in the uterus? - ANSWERS-columnar
epithelium which secretes each month ready for ova.
the place where the foetus grows and develops. Every month it
prepares
itself for a possible pregnancy and if there is no fertilised ovum,
menstruation
occurs? - ANSWERS-uterus
what is the cervix? - ANSWERS-forms the first
part of the birth canal
narrow neck of the uterus, which opens into the vagina.
