Medical and Anatomy Quiz Review

• Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH): Target organ is the Thyroid; function is production of T3 and T4.
• Prolactin: Target organ is the Breast; function is milk production.
• Parathyroid Hormone: Function: increases plasma calcium levels.
• Brain Stem Components: The thalamus is not part of the brain stem.
• Rib Classification: Floating ribs do not attach to costal cartilage.
• "Sugar, Salt, and Sex" Mnemonic: Refers to Cortisol, Aldosterone, and Testosterone.
• Passive Membrane Transport: Example is osmosis.
• Cranial Nerve I (Olfactory Nerve): Function: Sense of smell.
• Leg Bones: The tibia and fibula.
• Hypothalamus: Not part of the Midbrain.
• Hormones and Their Glands: Glucagon, PTH and TSH are secreted by the pancreas, parathyroid, and anterior pituitary, respectively.
• Posterior Pituitary Gland: Another name is the neurohypophysis.
• Bone Cells: Osteoclasts are bone-reabsorbing cells.
• Accumulation of CSF: This condition is known as hydrocephalus.
• Hematopoiesis: Occurs in red bone marrow.
• Norepinephrine Releasing Axon: The sympathetic axon.
• Cranial Nerve XI: Corresponds to the accessory nerve.
• True Ribs: Ribs attached individually to the sternum by cartilage.
• Insulin Function: Secreted by beta cells of the islets of Langerhans.
• Nervous System Divisions: Peripheral and Central Nervous System.
• Cervical Vertebrae Count: 7 cervical vertebrae.
• Insulin and Glucagon: Function in regulating blood glucose.
• Growth Hormone (GH): Target organ/function is for growth.
• Aldosterone Function: Also known as "salt-retaining hormone".
• Eye Movement Nerves: The optic nerve is not involved in eye movement.
• Long Bone Anatomy: The hollow shaft is called the diaphysis.
• Forearm Bones: The ulna and radius.
• Skin Layer with Melanocytes: Melanocytes are located in the epidermis.
• Brain Stem and Vital Centers: The medulla oblongata is part of the brain stem involved in vital functions like breathing and heart rate.
• Brain Coordination: The cerebellum coordinates equilibrium.
• Somatotropic Hormone (GH): Stimulates skeletal muscle and bone growth.
• Somatic and Parasympathetic Neurotransmitter: Acetylcholine.
• Growth Hormone (GH) Functions: Stimulates musculoskeletal growth; secreted by adenohypophysis.
• Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) Function: Activates osteoclasts.
• Hormones Secreted by the Posterior Pituitary: Oxytocin.
• Iodine Use in the Body: Necessary for thyroid hormone production.
• Cerebral White Matter: Heavily myelinated part of the cerebrum is called white matter.
• Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH): Reduces urine excretion.
• Opposing Function of Calcitonin: Parathyroid Hormone (PTH).
• Oxytocin Function: Target organ/function is for milk ejection.
• Catecholamines: Include epinephrine and norepinephrine.
• Adrenaline (Epinephrine) Effect on Alpha-1 Receptors: Vasoconstriction.
• Cranial Nerve II: Corresponds to the optic nerve.
• Calcitonin Secretion: Elevated plasma calcium levels trigger its release.
