eye and endocrine
name of hormones produced and their target organs along with their functions
adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)- anterior pituitary gland
stimulates the adrenal cortex
thryroid stimulating hormone (TSH)- anterior pituitary gland
tropic hormone responsible for the stimulation of the thyroid gland
prolactin (PRL)- anterior pituitary gland
simulates the mammary glands of the breast to produce milk
luteinizing hormone (LH) -anterior pituitary gland
stimulates the glands to produce the sex hormones
follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)- anterior pituitary gland
stimulates the follicle cells of the gonads to produce gametes
antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin)(ADH)- posterior pituitary gland
prevents water loss in the body
oxytocin - posterior pituitary gland
triggers uterine contractions during childbirth
thyroid hormone (thyroxine and triiodothyronine)(TH) -base of neck and wrapped around the lateral side to the trachea
regulate the bodys metabolic rate
calcitonin- base of neck and wrapped around the lateral side to the trachea
reduce the concentration of calcium lones in the blood
aldosterone (mineralocorticoids)- superior to the kidneys
help regulate the concentration of mineral ions
parathyroid hormone (PTH)- posterior side of the thyroid gland
stimulates the osteoclast to break down the calcium
cortisol (glucocorticoids)- superior to the kidneys
break down of proteins
epinephrine/ norepinephrine- superior to the kidneys
increases the flow of blood to the brain and muscle
insulin -abdominal cavity just inferior and posterior to the stomach
responsible for lowering glucose
glucagon- abdominal cavity just inferior and posterior to the stomac
responsible for raising blood glucose levels
testosterone- scrotum of males
causes growth and increase in strength of the bones and muscles
estrogen- female pelvic cavity
triggers the development of female secondary sex characteristics
progesterone- kidney
maintains appropriate conditions in the human body
melatonin- posterior to the thalamus of brain
regulates human sleep wake cycle known as the circadian rhythm
thymosin- chest posterior to the sternum
help and train and develop
growth hormone (GH)-anterior pituitary gland
affects many target cells throughout the body
major functions of the eye
optic nerve
takes images and received by the retina
iris
controls amount of light that enters eye
pupil
how much light to pass
cornea
allows light to pass
sclera
protects and gives the eye its shape
retina
houses the sight receptors that translate light impulses into neural inputs
diseases associated with the the endocrine system
graves disease
hyperthyroidism
goiter
hypothyroidism
diabetes mellitus (type I)
type II diabetes
major glands/ organs and their function
pituitary gland
produces hormones that control many functions of other endocrine glands
hypothalamus
stimulate or suppress the release of hormones in the pituitary gland
pineal gland
secretes a hormone called melatonin, which may help regulate the wake-sleep cycle of the body
parathyroid
release parathyroid hormone, which plays a role in regulating calcium levels in the blood and bone metabolism
thyroid gland
produces thyroid hormones that regulate the body's metabolism
major functions of the endocrine system
hormones
reproduction
collection of glands
growth
