pancreas

• endocrine function of pancreas

  insulin and glucagon
• exocrine function of pancreas


  secretes digestive juices (enzymes and bicarbonate)
• alpha cells 


  secrete glucagon
• beta cells 


  secrete insulin
• adrenal medulla 


  secretes adrenaline and noradrenaline
• adrenocorticotrophic hormones 


  glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, androgens
• glucocorticoids


  corticosterone
• mineralocorticoids


  aldosterone
• androgens


  androstenedione
• cortisol


  fight or flight, stimulates gluconeogenesis in the liver
• aldosterone


  increases sodium reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule and the collecting duct
• Addison's disease


  glucocorticoid insufficiency, hypotension
• Conn's syndrome 


  increased secretion of aldosterone
• Cushing's syndrome


  overproduction of ACTH
• insulin 


  regulates glucose levels in the bloodstream and induces glucose storage in the liver, muscles, and adipose tissue
• glucagon


  works antagonistically to insulin
• adrenal medulla 


  adrenaline and noradrenaline
• glucocorticoids


  result in an increase in blood protein and amino acid levels
• aldosterone 


  to increase sodium reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule and the collecting duct
