What is the function of the endocrine system?
The endocrine system is composed of system of glands that secrete ___________________.
The endocrine system works in conjunction with what other system?
What are hormones?
Endocrine secretions that act locally are called _______________.
Endocrine secretions that secrete substances through tubes or ducts are called _______________.
Endocrine secretions that act on cells that produce them are called _______________.
What word best describes the effectiveness of hormones?
Hormones structures do not include the following:
Hormones target specific receptors and unlock ____________ in the nucleus for specific protein synthesis.
Some hormones are controlled by a portion of the brain called the _______________.
Some glands secrete hormones because of _____________ impulses.
Some glands respond to levels of a substance in the _____________.
When a hormone level reaches a certain point, it is then inhibited by the gland that secretes it. This process
is called _________________.
Stress makes homeostasis is difficult for the body to achieve when it experiences _____________.
Which hormone enlarges reproductive organs and develops secondary sex characteristics in females?
Which hormone enlarges reproductive organs and develops secondary sex characteristics in males?
Which hormone promotes changes in the uterus during the female reproductive cycle?
gland in the brain that is controlled by the hypothalamus; hormones produced control growth, breast milk
production, urine/water volume
glands are located atop the kidneys; controls “fight or flight” response, potassium/sodium levels, and
regulation and control of carbohydrates, proteins and fat metabolism, produces some sex hormones
lobed gland in the neck that produces and stores hormones; these hormones control metabolic rate,
enhance protein synthesis, lipid utilization, and controls concentrations of calcium and phosphorous
located between the lungs; aids in immunity and production of lymphocytes
located in the digestive tract that secrete enzymes and acids used in digestion
found both in males and females respectively; secretes hormones associated with sexual maturation and
secondary sex characteristics
large gland located next to the stomach and is attached to the small intestines; secretes hormones that help
maintain glucose levels and promote protein synthesis
glands located beside the thyroid gland in the neck that controls calcium and phosphorous levels in the
blood
small gland in the brain that is attached to the hypothalamus; secretes hormones that help regulate the
female reproductive cycle and secretes melatonin which regulates the daily activity cycle
controls amount of calcium and phosphorous in the blood and regulates its release form the bones
acts on certain regions of the brain as a biological clock and helps to regulate circadian rhythms
stimulates cells to increase in size and divide more frequently
affect production and differentiation of certain white blood cells
stimulates the production of eggs and sperm in females and males, respectively
controls the manufacture and secretion of certain hormones in the outer layer (cortex) of the adrenal gland
increase the rate of energy release from carbohydrates, increases rate of protein synthesis, and accelerates
growth

____ 41. increases the amount of calcium and decreases the amount of phosphorous in the blood
____ 42. increases heart rate, dilates blood vessels in skeletal muscles, dilation of airways, increases blood pressure,
and increases metabolism
____ 43. stimulates the liver to form glycogen from glucose and inhibits conversion of non-carbohydrates into
