What is FSH and LH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone and Leuteinizing Hormone)
300
What two hormones are released from the posterior pituitary and what do they do?
Oxytocin - increases uterine contractions during labor and promotes the release of milk during breastfeeding.
ADH (anti-diuretic hormone) - increases the retention (reabsorption) of water by the kidneys
400
Adrenal Medulla secretes...and prepares the body for...
epinephrine and norepinephrine, fight or flight
400
Starts with a lack of iodine. Hormones can't be produced properly to regulate metabolism. Leads to weight gain, sense of being too cold.
Hypothyroidism
400
Where is the location of the adrenal cortex and what does it release?
Above the kidneys. Cortisol and aldosterone.
400
Stimulates release of thyroxine from the gland in the neck.
What is TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)?
400
What 2 hormones are released by the adrenal cortex and what do they do?
Cortisol - "Stress hormone" - increases fat and protein metabolism in other tissues to save the glucose for the brain.
Aldosterone - increases sodium and water retention by kidneys.

500
Increases the release of cortisol from the adrenal cortex.
What is Andrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH)

Calcium is regulated by which 2 hormones and where are they secreted from? Explain HOW they are regulated too.
Calcitonin - lowers blood calcium. Puts it into bones. Released from Thyroid.
PTH (Parathyroid Hormone) - Parathyroid gland. Increases calcium in blood by osteoclasts releasing it from bone to blood.
