Cards

Term
What is a peptide hormone released when normal glucose levels exceed normal levels (70-110 mg/dL)?
Definition
insulin from beta cells of islets of Langerhans
Term
What is the hormone that encourages lipid reserves to release contents, promotes glucose synthesis, and glycogen breakdown in liver, elevates blood glucose concentrations?
Definition
glucagon from alpha cells of the pancreas
Term
What kind of cells secret pancreatic polypeptide (PP) which inhibits gallbladder contraction and influences the rate of nutrient absorption by digestive tract?
Definition
F cells of pancreas
Term
liver cells absorb amino acids from bloodstream and convert them to glucose and release it into circulation (caused by glucagon)
Definition
glucogenisis
Term
damages many organ systems and is characterized by blood glucose concentrations high enough to overwhelm the kidney's reabsorption capabilities
Definition
diabetes mellitus
Term
high blood sugar
Definition
hyperglycemia
Term
low blood sugar
Definition
hypoglycemia
Term
presence of glucose in urine
Definition
glycosuria
Term
excessive urination
Definition
polyuria
Term
secrete steroid hormone calcitrol in response to PTH and helps form vitamin D
Definition
kidneys
Term
What peptide hormone does the kidneys secrete that acts on red bone marrow to stimulate production of RBC which increases blood volume?
Definition
erythropoietin (EPD)
Term
Which enzyme secreted by the kidneys converts angiotensin a plasma protein produced by the liver to angiotensin and in lungs it is modified to hormone angiotensin 2 which stimulates secretions of aldosterone by adrenal cortex and ADH of posterior pituitary to elevate blood pressure by restricting salt and water looses at kidneys?
Definition
renin
Term
What secretes atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)?
Definition
heart
Term
located in mediastinum and produces thymosin hormones that promotes development of lymphocytes and helps fight infection and disease
Definition
thymus
Term
What secretes progesterone to prepare the uterus for implantation, mammary glands?
Definition
corpus luteum
Term
What is the hormone of pregnancy
Definition
progesterone
Term
hyposecretion (low) secretion of glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids and one cannot mobilize energy reserves nor maintain normal glucose levels
Definition
Addison's Disease
Term
congenital hypothyroidsim- low secretions of thyroid hormones at birth or infancy that caused inadequate skeletal and nervous development and metabolic rates as much as 40% below normal levels
Definition
cretinism
Term
enlargement of the thyroid gland
Definition
goiter
Term
muscle spasms affecting the face and upper extremeties
Definition
hypocalcemic tetany
Term
severe hypo secretion of thyroid hormones causing subcutaneous swelling hairloss, dry skin, low body temp, muscle weakness, and slowed reflexes (hypothyroidism)
Definition
myxedema
Term
excess secretion (hypersection) of glucocorticoids that causes excessive breakdown and relocation of lipid reserves and proteins (moon face and buffalo hump)
Definition
Cushing's Disease
Term
hyperthyroidism- excess thyroid hormone causing high metabolic rate and increased body temps, and exopthalamus (bulging eyes) and may lead to thyrotoxicosis with high blood pressure and heart rate, excitability, and emotional instability
Definition
Grave's Disease
