| THESE ARE SECRETED BY THE ADRENAL MEDULLA, ARE CATECHOLAMINES, AND PARTICIPATE IN THE FIGHT-OR FLIGHT RESPONSE | EPINEPHRINE AND NOREPINEPHRINE |
| CONCERNED WITH "SUGAR, SALT, AND SEX" | CORTISOL, ALDOSTERONE, AND TESTOSTERONE |
| A DEFICIENCY OF DIETARY IODINE IMPAIRS THE SYNTHESIS OF WHAT? (T'S) | T3 AND T4 |
| LOWERS BLOOD SUGAR, SYNTHESIS OF PROTEIN, AND FATTY ACID SYNTHESIS | INSULIN |
| WHAT KIND OF HORMONE ARE T3, T4, AND CALCITONIN? | THYROID HORMONES |

| MOST LIKELY TO EXPAND BLOOD VOLUME? | ALDOSTERONE |
| ABRUPT, SUDDEN WITHDRAWAL OF PREDNISONE (CORTISOL) IS MOST LIKELY TO CAUSE? | ACUTE ADRENAL INSUFFICIENCY |
| DEVELOPS WITH AN INSULIN DEFICIT | GLUCONEOGENESIS |
| INSULIN IS RELEASED PRIMARILY IN RESPONSE TO... | INCREASED BLOOD SUGAR |
| DESCRIPTION OF THE HEPATIC CONVERSION OF PROTEIN-BREAKDOWN PRODUCTS INTO GLUCOSE, IS CALLED? | GLUCONEOGENESIS |
| VIRILIZATION IS MOST LIKELY TO BE OBSERVED IN THIS CONDITION | EXCESS STEROIDS SUCH AS PREDNISONE |
| CAUSES OSTEOPOROSIS AND VERTEBRAL COMPRESSION FRACTURES FROM PROLONGED USE OF, WHAT? | GLUCOCORTICOIDS |
| HORMONES THAT ARE "AIMED AT" A TARGET | TROPIC HORMONES |
| TYPE OF GLANDS THAT SECRETE INTO DUCTS; EXAMPLES INCLUDE SWEAT GLANDS, SEBACEOUS GLANDS, AND GLANDS THAT SECTETE DIGESTIVE ENZYMES | EXOCRINE GLANDS |
| TYPE OF GLANDS THAT SECRETE HORMONES; CALLED DUCTLESS GLANDS | ENDOCRINE GLANDS |
| AN EXAMPLE IS THE MENSTRUAL CYCLE | BIORHYTHM(S) |
