The Endocrine System Slide 2 Slide 3 Slide 4 Slide 5 FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE -FSH LUTEINIZING HORMONE- LH Stimulates the production of gametes in ovaries and testes Stimulates the release of gonadal hormones in males and females Stimulates the ovulation of the egg and the formation of the corpus lutea in the follicle, which will release progesterone- the pregnancy hormone Stimulates the Leydig cells in testes to release androgens, such as testosterone Slide 6 Slide 7 Slide 8 Slide 9 Stimulates the thyroid to release its hormone: thyroxine Influences metabolic rate, growth, and development. Slide 10 Calcitonin- causes calcium to be stored on bones (decreases calcium in blood) Parathormone- relases calcium stored on bones ( increases calcium in blood) Slide 11 Glucocorticoids- cortisol- targets the Liver and other tissues to release Glucose. Mineralcorticoids-aldosterone- increases reabsorption of Na+ in kidneys and excretion of K+, controls volume of ICF and blood Stress! Adrenal Cortex Anterior Pituitary Negative feedback Slide 12 Slide 13 Regulate synthesis of melanin in melanocytes in skin and hair, also linked to appetite and sexual arousal Slide 14 (aka Vasopressin) Hormones made in the HYPOTHALAMUS but stored in the Slide 15 LOVE Positive Feedback Slide 16 Stimulus- decreased blood pressure, increased osmotic concentration, dehydration Target/Response- Arterial walls/Vasoconstriction for increased pressure, Distal tubule of kidneys/reabsorption of water for increased blood volume and pressure. Slide 17 Slide 18 Stress! Slide 19 aka Adrenaline Fight or Flight response Sudden response to fear, anger, pain, or physical exertion Causes vasoconstriction aka Noradrenaline Rest and Digest response Responsible for return to homeostasis However, causes vasoconstriction, too Slide 20 Antagonistic hormones that control blood glucose levels Beta cells Alpha cells Slide 21 Enzymes affecting nearby tissues Slide 22 Slide 23 Slide 24 Heat Memory Contraction / relaxation of muscles Slide 25 Stimulates the development of T lymphocytes Slide 26 Produces melatonin- Which communicates information on environmental lighting to other tissues in the body Slide 27 Slide 28 Slide 29 Melatonin has important effects in integrating photoperiod and affecting circadian rhythms. It has significant effects on reproduction, sleep-wake cycles and other phenomena showing circadian rhythm. Slide 30
