- Send and transmit signals through electrical impulses through the body what do T cells do? - Kills cancer cells, cells that are infected (particularly with viruses), or cells that are damaged in other ways. what is the function of the medulla oblongata - The medulla oblongata helps regulate breathing, heart and blood vessel function, digestion, sneezing, and swallowing. This part of the brain is a center for respiration and circulation. what is the function of the temporal lobe - sensory input (auditory) Where is insulin and glucagon released? - pancreas When is insulin and glucagon released - Glucagon forces the liver to release stored glucose, which causes the blood sugar to rise. What hormones are released from the ANTERIOR pituitary? - FLAT PMG Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) Luteinizing hormone (LH) Adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) Prolactin Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) Growth hormone what are the functions of dendrites - To receive a nerve impulse and carry nerve impulses toward the cell body Where is gastrula found? - The germ layers: The exterior ectoderm, The middle mesoderm, The interior endoderm. what synthesized ADH and oxytocin - hypothalamus what connects the vagina to the uterus - cervix what are the three main functions of the nervous system? - Sensory Input, Integration, Motor Output. Orders are sent from the brain to body organs and tissues along motor neurons. what does the pyloric sphincter do? - releases chime from the stomach into the small intestine the gallbladder decreased motility and acid production. what does the small intestine do? - digestion of starches and absorption of nutrients. what hormones does the ANTERIOR pituitary gland secrete - FSH, Lutenizing, ACTH, TSH, Growth hormone, prolactin which hormones does the POSTERIOR pituitary gland secrete - ADH and oxytocin parts of the small intestine - duodenum(connects to stomach) jejunum ileum(connects to colon) parts of the large intestine - cecum colon rectum what gland near your brain produces melatonin and serotonin - pineal what gland releases epi and norepi - andrenal medulla inside adrenal gland thyroxine (T4) increases metabolic rate and most males convert it to T3 - posterior gland releases MSH (melanocyte) - ACTH tells adrenal gland to secrete glucocorticoids (sugar) - what regulates blood pressure? - renin
