Endocrine Glands
Parathyroid Hormone
Parathyroid Gland
Rectus Abdominis
Direction of Muscle Fibers
This is the receptor for stretch reflexes
Muscle spindle
I
Olfactory Nerve
This hormone is secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. It plays a role in lactation
Prolactin
Calcitonin
Thyroid Gland
Psoas Minor
Size
Body part (muscle or gland) which responds to the motor nerve impulse
Effector
II
Optic Nerve
These two hormones are secreted by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland
Oxytocin and Vasopressin = antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
Adrenaline
Adrenal Gland – Medulla
Quadriceps
Number of origins
These characteristics are what we use to classify stretch muscles
Ipsilateral, monosynaptic, segmental
X
Vagus Nerve
This is secreted by alpha cells in the pancreas
Glucagon
Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)
Anterior lobe of the pituitary gland
Extensor digitorum
Action
When a stimulus occurs on one side of the body and results in a reaction on the other side
Contralateral
XI
Accessory Nerve
This hormone is secreted by the parathyroid glands
Parathyroid hormone (PTH)
Glucocorticoids
Adrenal Gland – Cortex: Zona fasciculata
Serratus anterior
Shape
The two general types of reflexes
Somatic and Autonomic (Visceral)
VIII
Vestibulocochlear Nerve
These are the hormones that are secreted by the thyroid gland
T3 (Triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine)
