| Description | Endocrine System component |
|---|
| Master Gland: | |
| Gland with hormones: PRL, FSH, ACTH, GH, TSH (TH), LH, ICSH | |
| Gland with hormones: Mineralocorticoids, Estrogen, Testosterone, Glucocorticoid | |
| Gland with hormones: (T4,T3), Calcitonin | |
| Gland with hormones: Progesterone, Estrogen | |
| Gland with hormone Melatonin | |
| 'Gland' with hormones: hCG, Estrogen, Progesterone | |
| 'Gland' with hormones: Insulin, Glucagon | |
| Gland with hormones: Testosterone (Androgen) | |
| Hormones made by hypothalamus (Oxytocin, ADH) are stored in: | |
| Gland with hormone Thymosin | |
| Gland with hormones: Epinephrine, Norepinephrine | |
| Gland with hormone PTH | |
| Hormones are delivered VIA: | |
| To be a target cell, the cell membrane must have a... | |
| Stimulus type where another hormone stimulates a gland | |
| Stimulus type where a nerve fiber sends a signal to a gland | |
| Stimulus type where increasing or decreasing levels of minerals (etc) in blood | |
| Type of feedback that controls hormones: | |
| Hormone Target (HT): Ovaries; triggers ovulation & production of estrogen and progesterone | |
| HT: All cells; increases ability of cells to take in glucose | |
| HT: Breasts (women)--stimulates milk production | |
| HT: T-lymphocites (white blood cells), 'programs' the T-cells | |
| HT: Sympathetic Nervous System (mostly), increase in heart rate & BP levels, Glucose and Oxygen intake increase | |
| HT: Osteoclasts/ Kidney Tubules; releases calcium into blood & makes kidneys absorb Calcium | |
| HT: Liver, makes liver break down glycogen and release glucose into blood | |
| HT: Testes (men), stimulates cells to produce testosterone | |
| HT: Blood, causes calcium to be deposited into bones | |
| | Description | Endocrine System component |
|---|
| HT: Hypothalamus, sleepiness due to light cycles | |
| HT: corpus luteum & ovaries, stimulates production of estrogen and progesterone during pregnancy | |
| HT: uterus & breasts, muscle contractions in uterus and milk ejection in breasts | |
| HT: Thyroid; directs thyroid activity | |
| HT: All cells (esp. bone & muscle), causes cell growth & division | |
| HT: Adrenal Cortex; regulates its activity | |
| HT: Uterus, menstrual cycle & maintaining pregnancy | |
| HT: All cells, metabolism (controls glucose-burning rate) | |
| HT: All cells; metabolism & long-term stress, INHIBITS prostoglandinss | |
| HT: Kidney Tubules, regulates water and electrolyte levels (kidneys retain sodium) | |
| HT: Kidneys, makes kidneys reabsorb water (increasing BP) | |
| HT: Ovaries / Testes, develop eggs for ovulation and produce estrogen (female), sperm development (male) | |
| HT: Uterus, menstrual cycle, quiets uterus muscles to keep pregnancy | |
| HT: Various areas of body, hair growth, sex drive, sperm development | |
| Symptoms: Extreme hunger & thirst, weight loss, frequent urination | |
| Symptoms: proportional shortness | |
| Symptoms: tiredness, weight loss, nauseousness, salt cravings | |
| Symptoms: Excessive height | |
| Symptoms: extreme anxiety & irritability, restlessness, bulging eyes | |
| Symptoms: weight loss, fatigue, high blood sugar and BP, fatty tissue deposits | |
| Symptoms: short legs (compared to torso and head), low mental development | |
| Symptoms: Infertility | |
| Symptoms: Extreme thirst, frequent urination, (AT OLDER AGE) | |
| Symptoms: swelling of hands face & feet, swelling | |
| Symptoms: slightly swollen neck, fatigue, mentally sluggish | |
| Symptoms: obesity, physical & mental sluggishness, dry skin, puffy face | |
| Symptoms: enlarged thyroid gland | |
| Symptoms: salt cravings, premature sexual development | |
