Match the Following Hormones to their correction function: Luteinizing hormone (LH)                   influences mood and sexual maturity Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)              regulates growth of gametes: oocytes in females and spermatozoa in                                                        males; stimulates ovarian follicles to secrete estrogen in females  Oxytocin                                    surge causes ovulation and produces  progesterone  via corpus luteum in                                                females; stimulates interstitial cells in testis to make testosterone.  Prolactin                              promotes uterine motility and milk let  down (release). Also important in                                            male affection. Growth hormone (GH)                 induces milk synthesis after pregnancy Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)                      promotes tissue growth mainly by triggering release of                                                                        somatomedin (a potent growth stimulator) from the liver. Testosterone                   regulates menstrual cycle and pregnancy. Promotes growth of uterine lining                                 (endometrium); stimulates female growth and development Melatonin                       mediates sense of thirst and promotes H2O retention by the kidneys;                                     likely responsible  for affection & monogamy in males Estrogen                              stimulates male growth, development, sperm production and libido.  

List the effectors of the ANS:      [a]    [b]    [c]   

Use one of the terms to complete the statement and explain your answer:  1. Most all nerves are classified as [a]    .  sensory only motor only mixed  2. Explain your answer:  [b] 

Arrange the following in correct sequence: (1) autonomic ganglia and ganglionic synapse (2) synapse with target tissues (3) preganglionic neuron (4) postganglionic neuron     

Where are preganglionic nerve cell bodies are located?                        

A ________________  hormone acts on the secretory action of other endocrine glands.    

A hormone like testosterone (anabolic steroid) might alter its target cell by promoting?  

The _____  division of the PNS sends output from the CNS.  

The statement “its ganglia are usually near or within the end organ” is  

Match the Following Hormones to the correction function:  Leptin                        Mediates part of the sympathetic response to stress. Affects metabolism (increases blood glucose). Also                                    increases heart rate & BP Cortisol                     Reduces Ca+2 in ECF stimulates bone deposition and ossification. Effects  primarily children.                              Aldosterone               Affects metabolism (increases blood glucose) Glucagon                  Stimulates kidneys to excrete (lose)  Na+ and H2O. Regulates blood pressure. T3 & T4 (thyroid Hormone)          Promotes Na+ retention and K+ secretion  by kidneys, maintains blood pressure & volume.                  Epinephrine and Norepinephrine                    Suppresses apetite  Calcitonin                           Elevates metabolic rate, O2 consumption and heat production. Stimulates respiration and circulation  Atrial Naturetic Peptide/Factor                     Stimulates red blood cell production by  bone marrow. Erythropoietin              Controls metabolism and response tostress. Increases blood glucose. Suppresses immune (defense) system.
