Card preview (17)

#1
Front (Question)

thyroxine

Back (Answer)

most tissues regulates cellular representation -> increase metabolic rate release energy (heat) = maintain body temp.

#2
Front (Question)

calcitonin

Back (Answer)

bones= decrease bone breakdown (inhibit osteoclasts) kidney=decrease reabsorption from filtrate intestines= decrease absorption

#3
Front (Question)

parathyroid hormone

Back (Answer)

bones= calcium -> increase bone formation kidney= increase reabsorption into blood (from filtrate) intestines= increase absorption from food

#4
Front (Question)

adrenaline

Back (Answer)

all tissues helps body prepare for reaction to threatening situation -> fight or flight response

#5
Front (Question)

noradrenaline

Back (Answer)

all tissues helps body prepare for reaction to threatening situation increase rate and force of heartbeat both reinforce + stimulated by sympathetic nervous system manage short-term stress

#6
Front (Question)

aldosterone

Back (Answer)

kidney-> if: increase potassium, decrease sodium in urine: regulation increase potassium or sodium in blood

#7
Front (Question)

cortisol

Back (Answer)

all tissues “anit-stress hormone” -> long term promotes normal metabolism + repair tissue

#8
Front (Question)

insulin

Back (Answer)

liver, skeletal cells + fat storage tissue to decrease level of glucose in blood -> increasing uptake in body cells - liver: glucose->fat = lipogenesis + glycogenesis -muscle: glucose->glycogen = glycogenesis -adipose: glucose->fat: lipogenesis

#9
Front (Question)

glucagon

Back (Answer)

liver, skeletal cells + fat storage tissue increase level of glucose in blood -liver + muscle: glycogen ->glucose= glycogenolysis - liver + adipose: fat/protein->glucose= gluconeogenesis

#10
Front (Question)

thyroid stimulaitng hormone

Back (Answer)

produced anterior pituitary stimulate secretions from thyroid

#11
Front (Question)

follicle stimulating hormone

Back (Answer)

produced anterior pituitary ovaries + testes development fo follicles that contain ova production + maturation of sperm

#12
Front (Question)

lutenising hormone

Back (Answer)

produced anterior pituitary ovaries + testes with FSH ovulation + maintains corpus luteum stimulates secretion of testosterone

#13
Front (Question)

growth hormone

Back (Answer)

produced anterior pituitary every celll stimulate growth -> increase rate of amino acid + glucose uptake - increase protein synthesis

#14
Front (Question)

adrenocorticotropic hormone

Back (Answer)

produced anterior pituitary adrenal cortex stimulate secretion of hormones from adrenal cortex

#15
Front (Question)

prolactin

Back (Answer)

produced anterior pituitary mammary glands initiate + maintain milk secretions

#16
Front (Question)

oxytocin

Back (Answer)

produced hypothalamus-> secreted by posterior pituitary uterus + mammary glands stimulate contractions during birth stimulates release of milk during breastfeeding

#17
Front (Question)

antidiuretic hormone

Back (Answer)

produced hypothalamus-> secreted by posterior pituitary kidney’s cause kidney to remove water from urine formed - water absorbed by body -> results to bloodstream - retain fluid
