46 Multiple choice questions
Term 1 of 46
What does PTH do in the kidney?
increase Ca uptake in the intestines (need vitamin D)
decreases osteoclastic activity
decreases reabsorption of calcium
stimulate Ca uptake in the kidneys
Term 2 of 46
what is the target and action of FSH?
male reproductive organs- promote maturation of male sex organs, sperm production, and
development of secondary sex characteristics
ovaries- stimulated maturation of ovarian follicles, ovulation, and estrogen secretion
testes- stimulates sperm production
ovaries- stimulates secretion of estrogen and progesterone and ovulation
testes- stimulates testosterone production
female reproductive organs- stimulates development of female sex organs and secondary
sex characteristics; in pregnancy, it enhances enlargement of uterus and breasts
Term 3 of 46
what does PTH do in the bones?
increase osteopenia
increase osteoclastic activity
stimulate ca uptake in the kidneys
decreases osteoclastic activity
,Term 4 of 46
where is oxytocin produced?
posterior pituitary
decreases osteoclastic activity
adrenal cortex
hypothalamus
Term 5 of 46
what does calcitonin do in the bones?
stimulates osteoblastic activity
decreases osteoclastic activity
decreases reabsorption of calcium
inhibits bone resorption
Term 6 of 46
what is the target and action of estrogen?
skin- increases melanin production
female reproductive organs- stimulates development of female sex organs and secondary
sex characteristics; in pregnancy, it enhances enlargement of uterus and breasts
male reproductive organs- promotes sperm production
brain- regulates mood and behavior
, Term 7 of 46
what is the target and action of LH?
cells of the body; lowers blood glucose levels by moving glucose into the cells
female reproductive organs- stimulates development of female sex organs and secondary
sex characteristics; in pregnancy, it enhances enlargement of uterus and breasts
ovaries- stimulated maturation of ovarian follicles, ovulation, and estrogen secretion
testes- stimulates sperm production
ovaries- stimulates secretion of estrogen and progesterone and ovulation
testes- stimulates testosterone production
Term 8 of 46
what is the hypothalamic-pituitary system (HPA Axis)?
hormones secreted by the hypothalamus act directly on the endocrine glands
adrenal cortex; increases secretion of glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids
the hypothalamus filters blood to produce hormones
the hypothalamus and pituitary gland function independently of each other
Term 9 of 46
what is the target and action of glucocorticoids?
liver- promotes gluconeogenesis
cells- decreases glucose use
bone marrow- promotes protein catabolism, fat synthesis, suppresses inflammatory
process
male reproductive organs- promote maturation of male sex organs, sperm production, and
development of secondary sex characteristics
tissues and bones; facilitates growth of bones and tissues through protein synthesis, fat
metabolism and insulin antagonism
female reproductive organs- stimulates development of female sex organs and secondary
sex characteristics; in pregnancy, it enhances enlargement of uterus and breasts
