Sharon Mayorga, period 2, Endocrine System - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Regulation of the circadian rhythms of the body and helps sleep
  - - - Causes kidney to conserve water, high concentration constricts blood vessels
    - - Contracts smooth muscle in uterine wall, contracts myoepithelial cells associated with milk secreting glands
  - - - Stimulates increase in size and divisiorate of body, enhances movement of amino acids across membranes
    - - Sustains milk production after birth
    - - Controls secretion of hormones from thyroid gland
    - - Controls secretion of certain hormones from adrenal cortex, stimulates growth in gonads
    - - Developing egg follicles and stimulates follicular cells to secrete estrogen, stimulates production of sperm cells
    - - Promotes secretion of sex hormones, plays role in releasing an egg cell in females
- - - - Increases rate of energy release from carbohydrates and protein synthesis, accelerates growth, necessary for normal nervous system materation
    - - Same as T4 but 5 times more potent
    - - Lowers blood calcium and phosphate ion concentration by stimulating deposition of calcium and phosphate ions into bones, inhibiting release of these ions from bones by increasing excretion of these ions by kidneys
  - - - Increase blood calcium, decreases phosphate ion concentration, stimulates bone resorption by osteoclasts, which releases calcium into blood, stimulates kidneys to conserve calcium, causes activation of vitamin D, causes increased absorption of calcium in intestines
  - - - Affect production and differentiation of T lymphocytes
- - - - Aldosterone
        
        Maintains the salt-water level by acting in kidneys, maintains blood pressure
    - - Epinephrine
        
        Acts along with sympathetic nervous system during emergency
      - Norepinephrine
        
        Acts along with epinephrine
  - - - Increases glucose in blood
    - - decreases glucose in blood
- - - - Important role in normal sexual/reproductive development
    - - Important role in menstrual cycle and maintaining early stages of pregnancy
  - - - Regulating sex differentiation, producing male sex characteristics, spermatogenisis and fertility
  - - - Causes pituitary gland to secrete hormones LH and FSH
