Study Notes
- Oxytocin targets breasts and uterus, stimulates uterine contraction, milk ejection, sexual satisfaction, and nurturing behavior.
- Antidiuretic hormone inhibits urine formation, prevents water imbalance, and causes constriction of arterioles.
- Drinking alcohol inhibits secretion of ADH causing frequent urination.
- Anterior pituitary manufactures and releases hormones, stimulated by releasing hormones, and inhibited by inhibiting hormones.
- Anterior pituitary has no direct connection to hypothalamus, only vascular connection.
- Hypophyseal portal system is a communicating system between hypothalamus and anterior pituitary.
- Disorders of the endocrine system include HYPOsecretion and HYPERsecretion.
- HYPOsecretion of HGH causes pituitary dwarfism.
- HYPERsecretion of HGH causes gigantism and acromegaly.
- Cushing's disease is caused by excess glucocorticoids leading to redistribution of body fat, muscle wasting, and weakness.
