QuestionAnswer
Communication between different parts of the body is critical to maintaining .Homeostasis
Communication requires signals. In the body, signals can be either Electrical or Chemical
Electrical The nervous system
Chemical The endocrine system
Signals that travel through the blood Hormones
Is a complex network of glands and organs that produce and release hormones to regulate various physiological functions in the body. The Endocrine System
These are chemicals secreted by various structures in the body that travel Hormones
For a hormone to interact with a target that target must have receptors that will bind the hormone.
Lipid derived hormones pass easily through membranes.
Because of this, receptors for lipid-derived hormones are found in the Cytoplasm or the nucleus of the cell.
Hormones that are not derived from lipids do not pass easily through cell membranes. Because of this, their receptors are found The surface of the target cells.
Hormones and the glands that secrete them are important components of negative feedback loops. What part of a feedback loop do glands and hormones belong? Control center of the feedback loop.
Leads your nervous system and endocrine system Hypothalamus
How does the hypothalamus influence other endocrine glands? It secretes hormones that stimulate or suppress the release of hormones and the pituitary glands.
Stores and releases two hormones. Posterior pituitary
The posterior pituitary stores and secretes AntidForone (ADH)
What is the effect of AntidForone (ADH) hormone? Regulates water balance
Where is AntidForone (ADH) hormone produced? The posterior pituitary
a hormone and neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in various physiological and behavioral functions in the human body. Oxytocin
What is the effect of Oxytocin? Labor and Bonding
Where is Oxytocin produced? The posterior pituitary
The hypothalamus communicates with the posterior pituitary via the hypophyseal tract
The anterior pituitary produces and secretes the following hormones. Adrenal corticotropic hormone , Thyroid stimulating hormone
Stimulates your adrenal glands Adrenal Corticotropic Hormone
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Triggers your thyroid release hormones, Mainly impacts metabolism.
They simulate follicular growth and ovulation. Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing hormone (LH)
Helps with milk production Prolactin
Help you grow Growth Hormone
How is the activity of the anterior pituitary regulated by the hypothalamus? It secretes the release of hormones.
this part of the adrenal gland secretes a number of hormones. NONE OF THEM ARE ADRENALINE Adrenal Cortex
Aldosterone Regulates water and sodium in the body
Cortisol Regulating your body’s stress.

Make the parathyroid hormone. Parathyroid glands
Regulates the amount of calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium Parathyroid hormone
Insulin and Glucagon are produced by Pancreas
Produces enzymes that help digest food and insulin. Insulin
