Resource summary
Major Endocrine Glands
PITUITARY
anterior pituitary (adenohypophysis)
hormones
growth hormone
Target: most tissue
response: increse tissue growth
thyroid STIMULATING hormone (TSH)
T: thyroid gland
R: increase thyroid hormone secretion
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
T: Adrenal cortex
R: Increase glucocorticoid hormone secretion
follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)
T: gonads
R: Follicle maturation and estrogen secretion
R: sperm cell production
Luteneizing Hormong (LH)
T: gonads
R: Ovulation and progesterone production
R: testosterone synthesis and support for sperm cell production
Prolactin
T: Ovaries and Mamary glands
R: milk producing
Melanocyte stimulting hormone
T: melanocytes in the skin
R: Increased melanin production in melanocytes to make the skin darker in color
Posterior pituitary (neurohypophysis)
ADH
increse water reapsorbtion
oxytocin
increase uterus contraction and milk expulsion
thyroid gland
structure
location: neck
di depan trachea, di bawah larynx
T3 and T4 (thyroid follicles)
increase metabolic rate, for growth.
calcitonin (parafolicular cells)
bone; decrease blood calcium levels.
parathyroid gland
parathyroid hormone (PTH)
increase blood calcium levels
bone; increase bone breakdown
kidnyes; increase calcium reapsorbtion
small intestine: increase calcium absorption, increase vit. D synthesis
adrenal glands
adrenal cortex
zona glomerulosa
mineralocorticoid; kidney --> aldosterone; fluid and electrolyte balance
↑ sodium reabsorption, potassium and hydrogen ions excretion; ↑ water reabsorption
zona fasciculata
glucocorticoid; cortisol
↑ glucose production; inhibit immune response and decreased inflammation
zona reticularis
androgens
females: development of some secondary sex characteristics
steroid based
structure: di atas kidneys
adrenal medulla
epinephrine and norepinephrine
preparation for physical activity
i.e. ↑ heart rate, blood flow, blood glucose, etc
pancreas
insulin; decrease blood glucose levels
↑ uptake and use of glucose and amino acids
glucagon; ↑ blood glucose
↑ breakdown of glycogen; release of glucose into the circulatory system
