Cards (44)
TRH
(Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone): Stimulates the pituitary gland to release
TSH
and
prolactin
.
CRH
(Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone): Triggers the release of
ACTH
, which stimulates the adrenal glands.
GHRH
(Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone): Promotes the release of growth hormone (
GH
).
Dopamine
: Regulates
mood
, movement, and inhibits prolactin secretion.
Somatostatin
: Inhibits the release of
GH
and
TSH
.
Vasopressin
(ADH): Regulates
water
balance by controlling kidney function.
Melatonin
: Regulates sleep wake cycles.
GH
(Growth Hormone): Stimulates
growth
, cell reproduction, and regeneration.
TSH
(Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone): Stimulates the
thyroid
to produce
T3
and
T4
.
ACTH
(Adrenocorticotropic Hormone): Stimulates
adrenal
glands to produce
cortisol
.
FSH
(Follicle-Stimulating Hormone): Regulates
reproductive
processes, including
egg
and
sperm
production.
MSH
(Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone): Influences
skin pigmentation.
LH
(Luteinizing Hormone): Triggers ovulation and stimulates testosterone production.
Prolactin
: Promotes milk production in females.
Oxytocin
: Stimulates
uterine
contractions and milk ejection during breastfeeding.
Vasopressin
(
ADH
): Helps regulate blood pressure and water retention.
T3
(Triiodothyronine) &
T4
(Thyroxine): Regulate metabolism, growth, and energy levels.
Calcitonin
: Lowers
blood calcium
levels by promoting bone absorption.
PTH
(
Parathyroid Hormone
): Increases blood
calcium
levels by releasing calcium from bones.
Thymopoietin
: Aids in
T-cell
development and immune function.
IGF
(Insulin-like Growth Factor): Supports growth and development, particularly in response to
GH
.
THPO
(Thrombopoietin): Regulates platelet production.
Gastrin
: Stimulates acid secretion in the stomach for digestion.
Ghrelin
: Signals hunger and stimulates appetite.
Histamine
: Regulates stomach acid secretion and immune response.
Somatostatin
: Inhibits the release of
gastric
and
pancreatic
hormones.
Neuropeptide Y
: Increases appetite and food intake.
Insulin
: Lowers
blood sugar
by promoting
glucose
uptake.
Glucagon
: Raises blood sugar by stimulating
glycogen
breakdown.
Somatostatin
: Inhibits
insulin
and
glucagon
secretion.
Androgens
: Contribute to
male
characteristics and reproductive functions.
Glucocorticoids
(e.g., Cortisol): Help manage stress, regulate metabolism, and suppress inflammation.
Adrenaline
(Epinephrine): Increases heart rate and energy in response to stress.
Noradrenaline
(Norepinephrine): Works with adrenaline to increase alertness and blood pressure.
Calcitriol
(
Active Vitamin D
): Helps regulate
calcium
and
phosphate
levels for bone health.
Renin
: Controls
blood pressure
by regulating fluid balance.
Erythropoietin
: Stimulates
red blood cell
production.
Estrogens
: Regulate female
reproductive
functions and secondary sexual characteristics.
Progesterone
: Supports
pregnancy
and regulates menstrual cycles.
Androgens
(e.g.,
Testosterone
): Regulate male reproductive functions and secondary sexual characteristics.
