| Two chief communicating and coordinating mechanisms in the body | Nervous system and endocrine system |
| The endocrine system communicates through chemical signals called | Hormones |
| Unlike the endocrine glands, these have ducts | Exocrine glands |
| Hormones are classified in these two ways | proteins and steroids |
| These two glands secrete steroids | Adrenal cortex and the sex glands |
| Each hormone binds to a specific tissue called a? | Target tissue or target organ |
| This hormone has only one target organ | Adrenocorticotropic or ACTH |
| The adrenal cortex is located on which organ? | The kidney |
| Two types of receptor sites are located where? | On the cell membrane and within the cell |
| A lock and key refers to this | A hormone and its receptor |
| Negative feedback | Enough is enough |
| Biorhythm hormones are secreted in this type of rhythm | Circadian rhythm |
| Travel and alterations in sleep patterns will cause alterations in this? | Biorhythms |
| The CNS helps to control the secretion of hormones in these two ways | Activation of the hypothalamus and stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system. |
| It is pea-sized gland located under the hypothalamus near the brain | Pituitary gland |
| The pituitary gland is also called this? | Hypophysis |
| The pituitary gland is divided into these two sections | The anterior and posterior pituitary |
| The anterior pituitary gland is controlled by the? | Hypothalamus |
| The hypothalamus secretes its hormones into a network of what? | Capillaries |
| Adenohypophysis is also known as? | The anterior pituitary gland |
| Growth hormone is also known as? | Somatotropic hormone |
| Hypersecretion of growth hormone | Gigantism |
| Acromegaly | Bones of jow, eyebrow ridges, the nose, hands, feet enlarge |
| A condition in which a body proportions are normal, but height is less than 4 feet | Pituitary dwarfism |
| Prolactin | Promotes milk production in women |
| Is released by the posterior pituitary gland in response to pain, stress, trauma, and drugs, such as morphine and nicotine | Antidiuretic hormone |
| In this absence of this hormone, a person may excrete up to 25 liters of urine per day | Antidiuretic or ADH |
| This organ secretes insulin and glucagon | Pancreas |
| Jitteriness, weight loss, tachycardia, ferocious appetite, feeling hot | Hyperthyroidism |
| Stimulates let down of milk in breastfeeding mother | Oxytocin |
| Hormone that assists uterus to contract after childbirth | Oxytocin |
| Which of the following would not be present if a person had a thyroid that undersecreted its hormone? Elevated temp; weight gain; constipation; feeling cold. | Elevated temp |
| Polydipsia can be defined as? | Extreme hunger |
| If a post-pubertal male is unable to achieve or maintian an erection, he may have a low level of this hormone. | Testosterone |
| What substance in our dietary intake is required for synthesis of T3 and T4? | Iodine |
| Which gland is responsible for secreting a hormone that increases plasma calcium levels | Parathyroid gland |
| Epinephrine and Norepinephrine are classed as what type of amines | Catecholemines |
| A tumor of the adrenal medulla is called a? | Pheochromocytoma |
| These corticosteriods are responsible for the conversion of amino acids into glucose and help to maintain blood glucose levels between meals | Glucocorticoids |
| The chief mineralcorticoid is? | Aldosterone |
| Of the two sections of the adrenal gland, which section is essential to life? | Adrenal cortex |
| Excretion of large volume of urine is called? | Polyuria |
| Glucose in the urine is called? | glucosuria or glycosuria |
| The rapid catabolism of fatty acids produce water and this? | Ketoacids |
| The gonads release FSH and LH, which are these hormones | Folicle-stimulating and luteining hormones |
| This hormone is responsible for the ovulation in the female? | Luteining hormone |
| The prostaglandins influence which type of muscle tissue? | Smooth muscle |
| Which drug would block the synthesis of prostaglandins? Anti-inflammatory, Anti-hypertensive, Anti-convulsants? | Anti-inflammatory |
| The pituitary gland secretes a hormone that influences the color and darkness or lightness of one's skin. Which cells are then stimulated? | Melanocytes |
| There are two diabetes conditions which are related to two different organs. Which two organs are involved? | Adrenal and the pancreas |
