| The _____________ Endocrine Gland is referred to as the Master Gland (of the body) because it secretes multiple hormones that influence multiple body function. | pituitary |
| The name of the Pituitary Hormone that is essential to the growth, development and continue function of the adrenal cortex is: | adreno/cortico/trophic hormone - ACTH SYN: Corticotropin |
| The Pituitary Hormone that stimulates uterine contractions during female labor is: | oxytocin |
| The pituitary lobe that secretes Adrenocorticotrophic Hormone (ACTH), Growth Hormone (GH), and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) is called the: | anterior lobe |
| The _______________ pituitary lobe stores and releases Anti/di/uret/ic Hormone (ADH) and Oxy/tocin. | posterior |
| The Thyroid Hormone that regulates carbohydrate metabolism is: | thyroxin or thyroxine |
| Located in front of the lower voice box and the upper trachea (rough), the ___________ Gland is the largest endocrine gland and is shaped like a shield. | Thyroid |
| The four small dime size glands that lie directly upon and behind the Thyroid Gland are the _____________ Glands. They secrete para/thormone that is responsible for regulating body calcium usage. | Parathyroid |
| The endocrine glands located above each kidney (divided into 2 portions called the medulla “marrow-like” and the cortex “bark-like”) are the: | adrenal glands |
| The name of the hormone that helps to maintain the level of calcium in the blood and is produced by the four Parathyroid Glands is | parathormone |
| The hormone that plays an important role in the control of blood sugar levels and controls hyperglycemic and hypoglycemic body responses is: | insulin from the beta cells of the Isles of Langerhans in the pancreas “all/fleshy” |
| The hormone that helps the body deal with stress is: | epinephrine - alarm stage of the General Adaptation Syndrome “GAS" |
| The compound term "Poly/dips/ia" literally means: | much/thirst/refers to |
| The combining forms that mean "poison" are: | toxic/o- “toxic”, viro- “virus”, or septo- “septic” |
| The term Hypo/glyc/emia literally means: | low or below/sugar levels/blood - tired and fatigued |
| The prefixes e-, ec-, ect-, ecto-, ex-, and exo- all mean: | out or outside |
| The diagnostic term for the state of excessive thyroxin production, which causes high sugar use levels and hyperactivity is: | hyperthyroidism |
| The medical term Endo/crin/olog/ist actually means: | Diabetes Mellitus - sweet or sugar excess - Type I and II |
| Addison’s Disease (AKA _____) is usually idio/pathic (unique to self/disease) and shows a progressive destruction of the ad/renal cortex. In time the tissue is infected by organisms that cause TB, histoplasmosis, and cryptococcosis. | hypo/adreno/cortic/ism - weakness, vitiligo, nausea, and hypotension |
| The condition resulting in muscle spasms (poor nerve communications) due to an abnormally low concentration of calcium in the blood is | tetany - tension/of muscle |
| The medical diagnostic term Syn/drome actually means: | a set of signs and symptoms that run together - together/run |
| The medical term for the sum total of all the chemical processes that take place in a living organism is _______________. It literally and actually means - the state of/changing/a lump (of food). | meta/bol/ism |
| The term given to substances secreted by Endo/crine (within blood/secret) Glands that means to urge on is: | hormone |
| The lack of _____________ can cause premature aging. | Human Growth Hormone “HGH” |
| All 3 Adreno/cortical (adrenal/cortex) functions are lost or diminished. The body shows skin or membranes discoloration (bronze/purple strips), hemorrhages, weakness, anxiety or depression, infections (TB, Fungal), an/orexia, & neoplasms. | Addison’s Disease |
| Graves’ Disease is also known as: | Hyperthyroidism |
| Dwarf/ism (irregular proportioned and "shortness/state") is often seen with Pro/geria (before/old or aged). The probable cause is heredity factors or the lack of Pituitary _______ production that leads to complete premature aging. | HGH |
| The inability to sleep is often caused by the lack of the Pineal Gland to secrete: | melatonin |
| The Parathyroid Gland produces Para/thormone, which regulate body calcium blood levels and prevents: | tetany or muscle spasms |
| Dr. Andrew Weil, M.D. recommends we stimulate the ___________ Gland (called the Master Gland of the Immune System) with deep breathing exercises. | Thymus |
| Fertility pills contain _____________ Hormone that is administered around the 15th day of the female cycle to stimulate ovulation. | Luteiniz/ing “yellow/process of causing” |
| Birth Control pills start releasing ____ early in the female cycle (+/- day 9) which stops the release of LH from the Anterior Pituitary. The inhibition of LH around day 15 stops ovulation | Pro/gesterone hormone "before/separation: urge on" |
| The hormone _____ increases in the blood to a level that causes LH to be released from the anterior pituitary. This hormone is the third of the four female cycle hormones (FSH, estrogen, LH and Progesterone) | Estrogen |
| The hormone ___________ increases quickly in the female blood from the corpus luteum of the egg to a level that inhibits further Luteinizing Hormone (LH) production from the Anterior Pituitary, which stops ovulation. | Progesterone |
