Posterior pituitary released
Give this one a try later!
ADH and OT (oxytocin)
Central diabetes insipidus
Give this one a try later!
your brain (pituitary) does not produce enough ADH = dehydrated b.c you
are losing a ton of H2O
Milk letdown
,Give this one a try later!
milk produced by prolactin is transferred into the duct system - smooth
muscle contraction moves milk from production area to duct portion
Parafollicular cells
Give this one a try later!
aka C-cells, not contained in the follicle but next to it and secrete calcitonin
Calcitriol and osteoblast
Give this one a try later!
stimulates bone degradation
Why is taking insulin injections tricky?
Give this one a try later!
need to be on top of your glucose levels which can be very hard and
complicated to predict
Pituitary gland
,Give this one a try later!
aka hypophysis or "master gland", has two parts: anterior and posterior,
secretes hormones that regulate growth, metabolism and reproduction,
under hypothalamus control
Largest organ in fetus is
Give this one a try later!
the thymus, then as we age it atrophies and gets smaller, resp for immune
f(x)
Aldosterone
Give this one a try later!
responsible for H2O and salt balance of the body
Hypertensive effects of cortisol
Give this one a try later!
cortisol causes vasoconstriction via release of epi release on vessels and
can also get salt craving b/c can affect aldosterone levels
, Calcitiol
Give this one a try later!
increase Ca2+ levels, works in synergist fashion w/ PTH
Melatonin
Give this one a try later!
peak levels during dark = induces sleep, regulates circadian rhythms, 24
hour cycles throughout the body, levels can be linked w/ photoreceptors in
the eyes
Cretinism
Give this one a try later!
childhood disorder, where not enough iodide for fetus = infants born w/
not enough thyroid hormone = lead to neurological problems
Younger vs older clast and blast activity
Give this one a try later!
