Testes
Hyposecretion of CORT is
Addison's disease
HPT axis regulates
metabolism
What is the primary effect of aldosterone on kidney function?
Increased sodium reabsorption
butterfly shaped gland in the neck produces hormones like thyroxine to regulate metabolism
thyroid gland
Prolactin, released from the anterior pituitary, acts on which organ to initiate milk production following childbirth.
Mammary glands
This autoimmune disorder causes hyperthyroidism, leading to symptoms like exophthalmos, goiter, tremors
Graves disease
This axis regulates the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in females, which are essential for ovulation and the menstrual cycle.
HPG Axis
The production of glucocorticoids is controlled by?
ACTH
This gland, part of the reproductive system, produces estrogen and progesterone, which regulate female reproductive functions.
ovaries
ADH works on which organ to reduce urine output
kidneys
Goiter is a result of what deficiency? this is from an abnormality in what hormone production?
Iodine, Thyroid
This axis is responsible for regulating reproductive function, with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) triggering the release of FSH and LH from the pituitary, which in turn act on the gonads.
HPG Axis
After consuming a strawberry cheesecake, which hormone will be expected to increase? why
Insulin because there is increased blood sugar
This gland, located behind the stomach, has both endocrine and exocrine functions, producing insulin and digestive enzymes.
pancreas
In females, luteinizing hormone (LH) acts on which organ to stimulate ovulation?
Gonads (ovaries)
Overgrown hands, feet & face are signs of
Too much GH
which of the axes has dopamine as a hypothalamic hormone
HPM Axis
What hormone from vitamin D allows calcium absorption?
Calcitrol
This gland, located in the neck, is responsible for regulating calcium levels in the blood through the secretion of parathyroid hormone.
parathyroid gland
Insulin, released from the pancreas, acts on which organ to promote the uptake of glucose and its conversion to glycogen?
liver
A deficiency in what hormone leads to dwarfism?
Somatotropin/Growth Hormone
which axis is involved with insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), primarily produced in the liver, mediate the growth-promoting effects
HPS Axis
