1
Pituitary Gland
Prolactin: Stimulates milk production
Growth Hormone: Stimulates growth and medtabolism l
2
Thyroid Gland
Thyroxine (T4): Increases metabolism and growth
Calcitonin: Lowers blood calcium lvls
3
Adrenal Gland
Cortisol: Regulates metabolism
Aldosterone: Regulates sodium and potassium lvls
4
Thymus Gland
Thymosin: Promotes T-cell maturation
5
Ovaries
Estrogen: Develop female reproductive system
Progesteron: Same as above
6
Testes
Testosterone: Develops male reproductive system
7
Insulin-glucagen feedback loop
Eat a meal
- Increase in blood glucose
- (Beta Cells) Pancreas releases insulin
- trigures cells to uptake glucose
- glucose stored as glycogen in the liver
- return to normal

Fasting
- Decrease in blood glucose
- (Alpha Cells) Pancrease relases glycogen
- Glycogen broken down into glucose
- Synthesis of glucose
- return to normal
8
Blood Flow through heart
Superior & Inferior Vena Cava -> Right Atrium -> Tricuspid valve -> Right ventricle - Pulmonary valve -> pulmonary arteries -> lungs -> pulmonary veins-> Left Atrium -> Bicuspid valve -> Left ventricle -> Aortic valve -> aorta -> Rest of body
9
Functions of Blood
1. Transportation (Ex. O2, CO2, Hormones, etc.)
2. Regulation (Ex. Body temp, pH, solute concentration, etc.)
3. Protection (Ex. against pathogens (bacteria & viruses) and blood loss)
10
Arteries vs Veins vs Capillaries
Arteries
- thick walls
- high pressure
- blood away from heart

Veins
- thin walls
- low pressure
- blood to heart

Capilaiares
- single layer
- smallest blood vessel
- exchange of materials between cells and blood
11
Systolic vs Diastolic Pressure
Systolic
- Max BP achieved during ventricular contraction

Diastolic
- Min BP achieved during ventricular relaxation
12
Erythrocyte
Carries O2 & CO2
13
Thrombocyte
Aids in blood clotting
14
Neutrophil
Responds to infections & injury
15
Eosinophil
Help kill/neutralize parasites
16
Basophil
Release histamine and heparin
17
Monocye
Macrophages in tissues
18
Lymphocytes
Target/neutralize pathogens
19
Trace arterial blood flow from the heart to the right hand
Left ventricle -> Aortic valve -> aorta -> Subclavian artery -> Brachial artery -> arm
