Study Notes
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.
