Resource summary
Hypothalamus
Anterior Pituitary Gland
Human Growth Hormone/somatotropin - help the body to grow
Lutenizing Hormone - stimulate production of estrogen and progesterone in females, testosterone in males
Follicle Stimulating Hormone - initiate development of oocytes and sperm; stimulate ovary estrogen production
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone/ Thyrotropin
Thyroid gland - Make T3/T4 from follicular cells to increase metabolism
C Cells outside the follicle produce calcatonin to reduce blood [Ca+2]
Parathyroid gland - Produce parathyroid hormone to increase blood [Ca+2]
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) / corticotrophin - stimulate cortisol production by the adrenal cortex
Adrenal Gland control
Matrix
Produces epinephrine and norepinephrine for short term stress response in the body (ANS)
Cortex (outer layer)
Zona glomerulosa - Aldosterone production to increase absorption of [Na+] and water
Zona Fasiculata - Cortisol production to increase blood [glucose] to resist long term stress
Zona reticularis - androgen production
Prolactin - Milk Secretion
Melanocyte stimulating hormone - Function unknown
Supraoptic Nuclei
Anti-Diuretic Hormone/Vasopressin
Posterior Pituitary Gland
Paraventricular Nuclei
Oxytocin
Other glands
Pineal glands - secrete melatonin to help regulate body sleep clock
Thymus: produce thymosin, thymic humoral factor, thymic factor, thymopoietin; proliferation and maturation of T cells
Pancreas in pancreatic islet/ islet of langerhans
Alpha Cell
Beta Cell
Delta Cell
F cell
pancreatic polypeptide - inhibit somatostatin
Somatostatin produced - decrease glucagon and insulin secretion = slow nutrient absorption in GI
Insulin produced - decrease blood glucose concentration
Glucagon produced - gluconeogenesis = breakdown of glucose to increase blood concentration
