  • Adrenal glands

    pyramid shaped glands located on the superioir surface of each kidney

  • Adrenal medulla

    a cluster of neurons which are part of the sypathetic nervous system

  • Adrenal cortex

    forms the bulk of the gland

  • Adrenal cortex

    all adrenal hormones help the body cope with danger, terror, or stress

  • Adrenal medulla

    secretes amine proteins that enhance the fight or flight response

  • Epinephrine

    a hormone that has an important role in the fight and flight response; prepartion for emergency

  • Norepinephrine

    increas the force of skeletal muscle contraction and rate and force of contraction of the heart

  • Adrenal cortex

    is composed of three layers which all secretes corticosteroids

  • Zone glomerulosa

    a zone in the cortex which secretes aldosterone

  • Zona fasiculata

    a zone in the cortex which secretes cortisol

  • Zona reticularis

    a zone in the cortex which secretes DHEA

  • adrogens: testosterones, estrogen

    these are produced in the Zona glomelurosa

  • glucocorticoids:cortisol, cotisone

    these are produced in the Zona fasiculata

  • Mineralcorticoids: aldosterone

    these are produced in the Zona reticularis

  • Corticosteroids

    steroid hormones secreted by the adrenal cortex. This includes mineralcorticoids, glucocorticoids, androgen DHEA

  • Dehydroepiandrosterone

    DHEA meaning

  • Thymus

    an important organ in the immune system

  • Thymus

    secretes thymic hormones that are essential for the production of T lymphocytes

  • Aldosterone

    primary steroid hormone of the mineralcorticoids

  • Cortisol

    primary steroid hormone of the glucocorticoids

  • Dehydroepiandrosterone

    primary steroid hormone of androgen

  • Aldosterone

    this hormone help conserve body fluid by acting on kidnets and increasing reabsorption of Na and water in renal tubules

  • Cortisol

    this hormone help the body cope with stress by stabilizing blood glucose levels; in large quantities they also inhibit inflammation and the immune system

  • Dehydroepiandrosterone

    a weak androgen, and estrogen

  • DHEA

    this hormone is responsible for the androgenic effects of adrenarche

  • DHEA

    potentiated locally via conversion into testosterone and DHT in skin and hair follicles

  • Gonads

    gamete production, hormone regulation, regulation of fertility

  • Estrogen

    this hormones regulate femal secondary sexual characters and sexual behavior

  • from follicles

    where does estrogen come from

  • Progesterone

    maintains pregnancy and prepares mamary glands for lactation

  • from corpus luteum

    where does progesterone come from

  • Androgen testosterone

    this hormone regulate male secondary sexual behaviour and sexual characters

  • testes

    where does the testosterone come from

  • chrorionic gonadotropin

    this hormone maintains normal pregnancy

  • from placenta

    where does the chrorionic gonadotropin come from

  • Ovary

    female gonads

  • Relaxin

    relaxes the pubic ligamets, soften and enlarge the opening to the cervix during parturition

  • Testes

    sprem production and development of male repoductive tissues

  • Leptin

    communicate how much fat is stored in the body

  • Adiponectin

    related to physiological response to insulin

  • adipose cells

    aleptin, resistin, and adiponectin

  • Enteroendocrine

    release peptide hormone that regulate digestion

  • Cardiac cells

    secretes atrial natriuretic peptide which stimulates loss of body fluids and salts through the production of sodium rice urine

  • Placenta

    secretes hormones of pregnancy including human chrorionic gonadotropin

  • Renin

    helps control your blood pressure and maintain healthy levels of sodium and potassium in your body

  • Erythropoietin

    stimulates red blood cell production

  • Kidneys

    secretes renin and erythropoietin

  • osteocalcin

    promotes release of insulin

  • Bones

    secretes osteocalcin

  • chlolecalciferol

    an intermediate in vitamin D production

  • Skin

    secretes cholecalciferol
