| endocrine | a gland that produces an internal or hormonal secretion |
| ADH | AntiDiuretic Hormone |
| SAD | Seasonal Affective Disorder |
| hormone | chemical formed in one tissue or organ and carried by the bloodstream to stimulate or inhibit a function of another tissue or organ |
| hormonal | pertaining to hormones |
| hypothalamus | an endocrine gland in the floor and wall of the third ventricle of the brain |
| hypothalamic | pertaining to the hypothalamus |
| melatonin | hormone formed by the pineal gland |
| oxytocin | pituitary hormone that stimulates the uterus to contract |
| pineal | pertaining to the pineal gland |
| prostaglandin | hormone present in many tissues, but first isolated from the prostate gland |
| serotonin | neurotransmitter in central and peripheral nervous systems |
| ACTH | AdrenoCorticoTropic Hormone |
| DI | Diabetes Insipidous |
| FSH | Follicle-Stimulating Hormone |
| GH | Growth Hormone |
| LH | Luteinizing Hormone |
| OT | OxyTocin |
| PRL | PRoLactin |
| TSH | Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone |
| adrenocorticotropic | hormone of the anterior pituitary that stimulates the cortex of the adrenal gland to produce its own hormones |
| corticosteroid | a hormone produced by the adrenal cortex |
| corticotropin | Pituitary hormone that stimulates the cortex of the adrenal gland to secrete cortisone |
| cortisone | a coritcosteroid produced in small amounts by the adrenal cortex |
| diabetes insipidus | excretion of large amounts of dilute urine as a result of inadequate antidiuretic hormone production |
| gonadotropin | any hormone that stimulates gonadal function |
| gonad | an organ that produces sex cells; a testis or an ovary |
| prolactin | pituitary hormone that stimulates the production of milk |
| somatotropin | hormone of the anterior pituitary that stimulates the growth of body tissues; also called Growth Hormone |
| thyrotropin | hormone from the anterior pituitary gland that stimulates function of the thyroid gland |
| protein | nonsteroid hormones are based on this substance |
| pituitary | gland that exerts more influence over body processes than any other gland |
| neural | type of tissue that makes up the posterior pituitary |
| glandular | type of tissue that makes up the anterior pituitary |
| target | cells having receptors for a particular hormone are called______ cells. |
| adenohypopnysis | another name for the anterior pituitary |
| hormones | chemical messengers secreted by the endocrine system |
| endocrine | The organs of the _______system are widely dispersed in the body. All organs in the __________system are glands. ______________glands produce hormones. |
| nonsteroid hormone | It is carried through the blood to the target organ cell. It requires a second messenger. |
| steroid hormone | its receptor is the nucleus of the target organ cell |
| prostaglandins | they travel a much shorter distance than most hormones. they can also be called tissue hormone. they function like nonsteroid hormones because they cause the production of cyclic AMP |
| luteinizing hormone | its target organ cells are in the ovaries. it stimulates ovulation |
| ACTH | stimulates the release of aderenaline |
| hypersecreation of the growth hormone | acromegaly is caused by |
| hyposecreation of the growth hormone | dwarfism is caused by |
| hypothalamus | produces ADH |
| thyroxine | has more target cells than ADH |
| calcitonic | prevents hypercalcemia |
| goiter | an inadequate intake of iodine in the diet can cause |
| steroid or nonsteroid | Hormones can be classified as either |
| negative feedback loop | The control of hormonal secretion is usually part of a |
| prostaglandins | Known as tissue hormones, these substances play an important role in communication and the control of many body functions |
| adenohypophysis and neurohypophysis | The pituitary gland is really two glands. |
| luteinizing hormone | The formation and activity of the corpus luteum is a result of the secretion of which hormone? |
| prolactin | The hormone that stimulates breast development necessary for eventual lactation is |
| posterior pituitary gland | Antidiuretic hormone and oxytocin are stored and released by the |
| adrenal cortex | Corticoids are hormones secreted by the |
| gluconeogenesis | The process stimulated by glucocorticoids that converts amino acids to glucose is called |
| hypothalamus | The part of the brain that plays a dominant role in the regulation of many body functions such as body temperature, appetite, and thirst is the |
| adrenal cortex | The portion of the adrenal gland that secretes the hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine is the |
| insulin decreases blood glucose concentration; glucagon increases it. | Insulin and glucagons are antagonists because |
| Anterior Pituitary gland | Where is TSH or Thyroid stimulating hormone made? |
| Adrenal Medulla | Where is epinephrine and norepinephrine made? |
| Adrenal Cortex | Where are the sex hormones (Androgens) made? |
| Ovaries | Where is estrogen and progesterone made? |

| Pineal gland | Where is melatonin made? |
| Thyroid | Where is calcitonin made? |
| Anterior Pituitary | Where is the growth hormone made? |
| Pancreatic islets | Where is insulin made? |
| Anterior pituitary gland | Where is Adrenocorticotropic (ACTH)hormone made? |
| Placenta | Where is chorionic gonadotropin made? |
| Anterior Pituitary | Where is the Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) made? |
| Thymus | Where is thymosin made? |
| Anterior Pituitary gland | Where is prolactin (PRL) (lactogenic hormone) made? |
| Adrenal Cortex | Where is aldosterone (an MCS or mineralcorticoid) made? |
| Anterior Pituitary gland | Where is Melanocyte Stimulating hormone or (MSH) made? |
