what is (ACTH) triggered by? what happens when it is triggered?
CRH
to adrenal cortex and release glucose cortocoids and androgens
what is (TSH) triggered by? what happens when it is triggered?
TRH
to thyroid and release thyroid hormone
what is (FSH) triggered by? what happens when it is triggered?
GnRH
sperm production and follicle maturation leading to estrogen production
what is (LH) triggered by? what happens when it is triggered?
GnRH
corpus luteum formation and testosterone production
what is (prolactin) triggered by? what happens when it is triggered?
PIH or PRH
milk let down
what is (GH) triggered by? what happens when it is triggered?
GHRH or GHIH
growth and protein synthesis
what is (TH) triggered by? what happens when it is triggered?
TSH
maintain BP, basal metabolic rate, tissue growth
what is (calcitonin) triggered by? what happens when it is triggered?
high calcium levels in blood
inhibits osteoclasts and increases Ca uptake equaling to a lower Ca percentage in the body.
what is (PTH) triggered by? what happens when it is triggered?
low calcium levels in blood
inhibits osteoclasts and increases kidney calcium absorption along with intestinal calcium absorption.
what is (cortisol) triggered by? what happens when it is triggered?
ACTH
glucose production (glucogenesis) and depress inflamatory response along with decreasing stress and immune response
what is (aldosterone) triggered by? what happens when it is triggered?
ACTH
increase blood Na while decreasing blood K. increase BP!

sympathetic/ parasympathetic
fight or flight.... rest or digest

high glucose levels
break down glucose to help lower levels
what is (glucogen) triggered by? what happens when it is triggered?
decreased blood glucose
break down glycogen/ increase levels of glucose
what is (testosterone) triggered by? what happens when it is triggered?
LH/FSH/Body
sperm production
what is (estrogen) triggered by? what happens when it is triggered?
many things
endometrium growth, womenly characteristics
