hormone which facilitates water reabsorption by the kidney
secreted by the kidneys and stimulates red blood cell production
hormone which stimulates the adrenal cortex to release mainly glucocorticoids
hormones built from amino acids
clumps of insulin producing cells located in the pancreas
hormone which stimulates certain thyroid cells to produce and release thyroxine

hormones based on a version of the cholesterol molecule
sperm producing gland
cells which lie in small clumps between the seminiferous tubules an produce testosterone
directly controls the release of hormones stored in the posterior pituitary gland
body system composed of ductless glands
fluid portion of blood
hormone which encourages bone cells to break up bone in order to liberate calcium
starch that is actually stored glucose
gland which secretes thymosin which plays a role in the maturation of T-lymphocytes
gland which secretes estrogen
deficiency of oxygen carrying capacity of blood
thyroid hormone which stimulates bone cells to transfer calcium from blood into bone tissue
part of the adrenal gland which secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine
when all the clotting proteins have been removed from the blood plasma, this is left
