Anatomy & Physiology Assignment The skin structure and its functions: The skin has many different functions such as sensation‚ heat regulation‚ absorption‚ protection‚ excretion and secretion. Can be remembered by ‘shapes’. [pic] The sweat gland is a looped gland located in the dermis. The gland produces sweat to help regulate body temperature when the body temperature begins to rise. During this process it removes small amounts of waste products such as salt and urea (chemical compound

Aldosterone and Hormone Replacement Therapy Aldosterone falls in the class of hormone called mineralocorticoids‚ produces by the adrenal glands and is found near the kidneys. It sustains blood pressure‚ water and salt balance within the body. This procedure is assisting the kidneys to preserve sodium and excrete potassium in order to maintain a balance. If Aldosterone production falls‚ there isn’t enough regulation of salt and water balance (as aldosterone is being lost through urination) triggering

I. Describe the role of the following hormones in the formation of urine‚ specifically explain the stimulus for their release‚ actions (decrease/increase GFR) and whether or not dilute/concentrated urine results): ADH (Vasopressin) – ADH has an antidiuretic action that prevents the production of dilute urine. Formation of urine = in the DCT and collecting ducts‚ water movement out of the body is regulated by ADH. Stimulus for their release = lowered blood pressure or low salt or water concentration

Pituitary Anterior – Located in the base of the brain attached to the hypothalamus. Growth Hormone(GH) – Stimulates an increase in size and rate of division of body cells; enhances movement of amino acids through membranes; promotes growth of long bones. Prolactin (PRL) – Sustains milk production after birth; amplifies effect of LH in males. Thyroid-stimulating Hormone (TSH) – Controls secretion of hormones from the thyroid gland. Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) – Controls secretion of certain
