Study Set Content:
restore a balance of sodium a potassium in body fluids; as well as restore kidney function in cortical deficiency.
Desoxycorticosterone or desoxycortone
Are male and female reproductive organs
Gonads
are female gonads
Ovaries
male gonads.
testes
aids in the maturation of ovarian follicles in females and in sperm production in males.
FSH
stimulates the testes to secret the sex hormone, testosterone. It also stimulates the ovaries to secrete progesterone and estrogen.
LH
Are active male hormone which are believed to be the true testis hormone. - It is important for the development of male sex organs and sex characteristics - It is responsible for the increased muscle and bone mass, increased growth of body hairs, development of broad shoulders, deepening of the voice, and growth of the penis.
Testosterone
Are paired organs situated on each lateral pelvic wall in the posterior layer of the broad ligament, behind and below the lateral extremity of each fallopian tube.
Ovary
The two types of hormones in the ovary include
estrogens and progestins.
It is isolated from urine during pregnancy and can be prepared synthetically - These are important for the reproduction and development of female characteristics
Estrogens
Have three major estrogenic hormones, including
estradiol, estriol and estrone
are responsible for growth and maturation of the uterus and vagina; breast development; widening of the pelvis; greater fat distribution in the hip, thighs and breast; uterus changes during the menstrual cycle and increased growth of body hairs.
Estrogens
Essential to the maintenance of human pregnancy during the first half of the term, as it prepares the uterine mucosa to receive the fertilized ovum. - It is also important in the development of the maternal placenta, and in the continuation of the development of the mammary glands in preparation for lactogenic action of anterior pituitary
Corpus luteum-progestin
Suppression of ovulation for the duration of pregnancy
Corpus luteum-progestin
Antagonism of the stimulating effect of estrogens on the uterine muscle to produce a relaxation of the uterus.
Corpus luteum-progestin
Is the active hormone of the corpus luteum that is used in the treatment of amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, endometriosis, functional uterine bleeding, premenstrual tension, and threatened or habitual abortion
Progesterone
t also available in an IUD as it contains enough progesterone to last for a year, and the failure rate is
2 %
is the inadequate development of the testes owing to pituitary disorder, infection or other disease
Hypogonadism or eunuchoidism
is an abnormally increased functional activity of the gonads, with excessive growth and precocious sexual development.
Hypergonadism
are mammalian metabolites that are produced by endocrine or ductless glands. - Are released directly into the blood to be involved in eliciting responses by specific body organs and tissues. - These are steroidal and are derived from amino acids
Hormones
