| The antagonist hormone to Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) | |
| Where glucorticoids are synthesized and released | |
| Pancreatic hormone that increases gluconeogenesis. | |
| Hormone released by the alpha cells of the pancreas. | |
| Type of diabetes in which victims can be given insulin to prevent hyperglycemia | |
| | Function | Answer |
|---|
| Disorder caused by iodine deficiency or thyroid inflammation | |
| Thyroid deficiency in children that causes mental retardation and delays in development. | |
| Insulin-independent form of diabetes | |
| Disorder marked by very low blood glucose levels due to over production of insulin | |
| Hormone that promotes osteoclast activity | |
| Cortisol is an example of this hormone class | |
| Hormone that is released in response to high blood calcium | |
| | Function | Answer |
|---|
| Thyroid gland hormone that increases protein/fatty acid synthesis and degradation | |
| Type of diabetes in which there is a loss of response to insulin | |
| Insulin-dependent form of diabetes | |
| Pancreatic hormone that increases fatty acid synthesis | |
| Where epinephrine and norepinephrine are synthesized and released | |
| Adrenal medulla hormones that increase blood glucose, heart rate, cardiac output, vasodilation to muscles, pupil dilation, and bronchodilation. Also slow down digestion. | |
| Type of diabetes caused by autoimmune destruction of beta cells resulting in no more insulin production | |
| | Function | Answer |
|---|
| Disorder that causes lethargy, low body temperature, and slow metabolism/heart rate/respiratory rate and a cold intolerance. | |
| Adrenal cortex hormones that increase blood glucose via gluconeogenesis, decrease protein synthesis, and reduce the body's immunological response. | |
| Hormone that decreases blood calcium | |
| Hormone released by the beta cells of the pancreas. | |
| Pancreatic hormone that increases the uptake of amino acids | |
| Pancreatic hormone that decreases blood glucose | |
| Hormone released by the gamma cells of the pancreas which is regulated by CCK and GH | |
| | Function | Answer |
|---|
| Where aldosterone is synthesized and released | |
| Pancreatic hormone that is released in response to CCK, gastrin, and low blood glucose. | |

| Disorder caused by tumors or overstimulation of thyroid gland | |
| Pancreatic hormone released in response to high glucose or amino acid levels in the blood | |
| Pancreatic hormone that increases blood glucose | |
| Gland that synthesizes and releases calcitonin | |
| | Function | Answer |
|---|
| Pancreatic hormone that increases glycogen breakdown | |
| Pancreatic hormone that suppresses the secretion of glucagon and insulin | |
| Hormone that inhibits osteoclast activity | |
| Disorder that causes heightened metabolism/respiratory rate/heart rate, and a heat intolerance. | |
| Pancreatic hormone that increases protein/fat degradation | |
| Amino acid required for iodination during Thyroid Hormone synthesis | |
