Flashcards
Pancreas
Pancreas
A gland located behind the stomach that produces insulin and glucagon, regulating blood sugar levels.
Thyroid
Thyroid
A butterfly-shaped gland in the neck that produces hormones (T3 & T4, Calcitonin) regulating metabolism, growth, and calcium levels.
Pituitary Gland
Pituitary Gland
The 'master gland' in the brain that controls other endocrine glands and produces hormones like growth hormone and prolactin.

Hormone-Gland Matching
- Calcitonin is produced by the Thyroid gland
- Catecholamines are produced by the Adrenal gland
- Cortisol is produced by the Adrenal gland
- Estrogen is produced by the Ovaries
- Glucagon is produced by the Pancreas
- Growth hormone is produced by the Anterior Pituitary gland
- Insulin is produced by the Pancreas
- Oxytocin is produced by the Posterior Pituitary gland
- Parathyroid hormone is produced by the Parathyroid gland
- Prolactin is produced by the Anterior Pituitary gland
- T3 & T4 produced by the Thyroid gland
- Testosterone is produced by the Testis
Hormone Functions
- Insulin lowers the blood glucose levels and regulates metabolism
- Glucagon raises blood glucose levels
- Oxytocin contracts the uterine muscle during labor
- T3 & T4 controls metabolic rate and regulates growth and development
- Calcitonin decreases plasma levels of calcium
- Testosterone stimulates development of sperm and secondary male sex characteristics
- Catecholamines stimulate the “fight, flight, or freeze” response
- Growth hormone stimulates growth of bone and soft tissues.
- Parathyroid hormone increases plasma levels of calcium
- Cortisol is part of the stress response and regulates glucose, fat, and protein metabolism
- Estrogen stimulates development of the ova and secondary female sex characteristics
- Prolactin stimulates the breast to develop and produce milk
