Hypothalamus - ANSWER regulates body temp and hormones (endocrine
system)
hypothalamus - ANSWER releases 6 releasing hormones to move to the
pituitary gland to signal the release of a stimulating hormone
GH - ANSWER hormone that increases growth
prolactin - ANSWER hormone that increases milk production
pituitary gland (anterior) - ANSWER connected to the hypothalamus via
blood therefore a hormone needs to be transported from hypothalamus to
stimulate the release of hormones
pituitary gland (posterior) - ANSWER connected to the hypothalamus via
nerves therefore a stimulus needs to be transported from hypothalamus to
stimulate the release of hormones
anterior pituitary gland - ANSWER releases the following hormones to move
into the bloodstream (GH, ACTH, gonadotropin (LH/FSH), thyroid SH,
prolactin)
posterior pituitary gland - ANSWER releases oxytocin and ADH
TSH
T3, T4, and calcitonin - ANSWER _________ go into the thyroid to release ______,
________, __________
,T3 - ANSWER for development and metabolism
most active form of thyroid hormone
calcitonin - ANSWER hormone that decreases calcium levels because of
reabsorption
ACTH
cortisol, aldosterone - ANSWER _________ mainly goes into the cortex of the
adrenal gland which releases ___________ and ______________
cortisol - ANSWER a hormone produced when a person is exposed to stress
(fight or flight response)
decreases immune system and increases blood glucose
aldosterone - ANSWER Hormone that stimulates the kidney to retain sodium
ions and water which ultimately increases blood volume and blood pressure
excretes potassium as a result
noradrenaline and adrenaline - ANSWER adrenal medulla releases these two
hormones
LH and FSH - ANSWER these two hormones move into the reproductive
organs to have an effect to increase uterus prep and sperm production
LH (ovaries) - ANSWER this hormone stimulates ovulation and increases
progesterone levels
FSH (ovaries) - ANSWER this hormone increases follicle growth and estrogen
production
LH (testes) - ANSWER hormone increases testosterone
,FSH (testes) - ANSWER increases androgen binding protein
oxytocin - ANSWER A hormone released by the posterior pituitary that
stimulates uterine contractions during childbirth and milk ejection during
breastfeeding.
ADH - ANSWER this hormone retains fluid (puts an effect on the collecting
duct of the kidney)
parathyroid hormone - ANSWER parathyroid releases _______________ which
opposes calcitonin suggesting an increase in calcium
renin and erythropoietin - ANSWER the kidneys releases these two hormones
renin - ANSWER it raises blood pressure by influencing vasoconstriction
(narrowing of blood vessels) and increases blood volume
erythropoietin - ANSWER a hormone that increases the rate of production of
RBC in response to falling levels of oxygen in the tissues.
insulin and glucagon - ANSWER the pancreas secretes these two hormones
insulin - ANSWER A hormone that decreases blood glucose levels
glucagon - ANSWER this hormone increases blood glucose
ECF - ANSWER fluid outside the cell
interstitial fluid - ANSWER fluid between cells
edema - ANSWER increased interstitial fluid will increase...
intravascular fluid - ANSWER fluid within blood vessels for transportation
(plasma)
transcellular fluid - ANSWER The fluid that is contained within specialized
, body compartments such as cerebrospinal, pleural, and synovial cavities
hypervolemia - ANSWER extra fluid and Na in ECF that increases blood
volume
this can be seen with bleeding
overhydration - ANSWER increase intravascular ESF which can accumulate in
the tissues
fluid volume deficit (FVD) - ANSWER A decrease in ECF exceeds water intake
osmosis - ANSWER movement of water from low solute (concentration) to
high solute (concentration)
nerds to popular kids
diffusion - ANSWER Movement of molecules from an area of higher
concentration to an area of lower concentration.
popular kids to nerds
filtration - ANSWER movement from high to low because of hydrostatic
pressure
osmosis
diffusion
filtration - ANSWER types of passive transport
active transport - ANSWER movement against concentration gradient which
requires energy
hydrostatic pressure - ANSWER force exerted by a fluid against the container
wall
