Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line
To print: Ctrl+PPrint as a list

31 notecards = 8 pages (4 cards per page)

Hormone function

front 1

GnRH

back 1

released by the hypothalamus
stimulates the release of FSH and LH from the anterior pituitary

front 2

TRH

back 2

released by the hypothalamus
stimulates the release of thyrotropin from the anterior pituitary

front 3

GHIH
(GIH or somatostatin)

back 3

released by the hypothalamus

inhibits the release of growth hormone from the anterior pitiuitary

front 4

CRH

back 4

released by the hypothalamus

stimulates the release of ACTH from the anterior pituitary

front 5

GHRH

back 5

released by the hypothalamus

stimulates the release of growth hormone from the anterior pituitary

front 6

PIH

(dopamine)

back 6

released by the hypothalamus

inhibits the release of prolactin from the anterior pituitary

front 7

PRH

back 7

released by the hypothalamus

stimulates the release of prolactin from the anterior pituitary

front 8

FSH

back 8

released by the anterior pituitary

a gonadotropin

causes development of gametes (eggs & sperm) in the gonads

front 9

LH

back 9

released by the anterior pituitary

a gonadotropin

causes estrogen/progesterone or testosterone secretion in the gonads

front 10

growth hormone (GH)

somatotropin

back 10

released by the anterior pituitary

causes cell division & protein synthesis in most cells

front 11

TSH

thyrotropin

back 11

released by the anterior pituitary

stimulates the thyroid gland to release T3 and T4

front 12

Prolactin

back 12

released by the anterior pituitary

causes milk production in the breast

front 13

ACTH

back 13

released by the anterior pituitary

causes the adrenal cortex to secrete cortisol/corticosterone

front 14

ADH

vasopressin

back 14

released by the posterior pituitary

targets the kidney to conserve water

causes vasoconstriction in vessels

front 15

oxytocin

back 15

released by the posterior pituitary

causes breast milk letdown

increases trust and bonding

front 16

triiodothyronine (T3)

tetraiodothyronine (T4)

back 16

released by the thyroid

increase metabolic rate in most tissues

front 17

calcitonin

back 17

released by the thyroid

lowers blood calcium levels by increasing Ca++ storage in bone mass

front 18

PTH

back 18

released by the parathyroid glands

increases blood calcium levels by breaking down bone mass

front 19

insulin

back 19

released by the pancreas

decreases blood glucose level by allowing cells to uptake glucose and stimulating glycogenesis

front 20

glucagon

back 20

released by the pancreas

increases blood glucose level (and other nutrients) by stimulating glycogenolysis, lipolysis, gluconeogenesis

front 21

somatostatin

back 21

released by the pancreas

inhibits insulin and glucagon release

front 22

androgens

(testosterone, DHT, androstenedione)

back 22

released by the testes

responsible for male secondary sex characteristics, sex drive, and triggering spermatogenesis

front 23

inhibin

back 23

released by the testes and ovaries

responsible for inhibiting FSH, and therefore inhibiting spermatogenesis & oogenesis

front 24

mullerian-inhibiting hormone

back 24

released by the embryonic developing testes

cortisol; corticosterone

back 29

released by the adrenal cortex

a glucocorticoid

increases blood glucose level (and other nutrients) by stimulating glycogenolysis, lipolysis, gluconeogenesis

adapts body for stress; anti-inflammatory

front 30

DHEA & androstenedione

back 30

released by the adrenal cortex

responsible in part for the sex drive in women

front 31

epinephrine & norepinephrine

back 31
