Title: Did I match these hormones (oxytocin, thyroxin, inuslin, acth) right? Post by: rizzy81 on Sep 13, 2012 Oxytocin- stimulated utrine contraction during child birth
thyroxin- stimulated metabolic process insulin- stimulated glycogen breakdown in nliver acth- stimulated the release of glucorticoid by adrenal gland Title: Did I match these hormones (oxytocin, thyroxin, inuslin, acth) right? Post by: bugmenomore on Sep 13, 2012 Yes, great job.
Title: Did I match these hormones (oxytocin, thyroxin, inuslin, acth) right? Post by: lexaebrown on Sep 13, 2012 They seem about right, here is a little more elaboration in case you may not know...
Hormones of Anterior Pituitary Gland (Adenohypophysis) --ACTH-Increased glucocorticoid secretion, involved with the adrenal cortex --Thyroxin (T4)- Regulates body metabolism and bone growth, also pivotal in brain and nervous system growth. NOTE: This is a sub-hormone in the hormone Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH). The other two are Triiodothyronine (T3) and Calcitonin. Hormones of the Posterior Pituitary Hormone (Neurohypophysis) --Oxytocin-Stimulates milk contractions as well as milk ejection from mammary glands (don?t get confused with Prolactin) Islets that comprise the Pancreas Alpha Beta (Secretes Insulin) Allows for re-uptake of glucose from the bloodstream Delta -BS Neurobiology |
