Located base of the brain, below the hypothalamus and secretes growth hormones.

Prime mover of inhalation, when it contracts it flattens and increases volume in the thoracic cavity (allows air to enter lungs)

Small pinecone-shaped gland located deep in the brain and secretes melatonin.

4. Four pairs of muscles

External oblique, internal oblique, transverses abdominis, and rectus abdominis muscles

Located base of the brain, stores and releases hormones that are produced by the hypothalamus, secretes hormones like ADH and ocutocin.

6. Two parts of the autonomic nervous system

Sympathetic (flight or fight response) and parasympathetic (rest and digest functions).

Four small glands located on the posterior surface of the thyroid and secretes PTH.

8. Stroke (signs/symptoms)

F.A.S.T.: F-face (sudden drooping r numbness), A- Arms( weakness or numbness in one arm), S- Speech (slurred speech), T- Time (time to call 911).

Butterfly-shaped gland located in the front of the neck below the larynx, secretes T4 and T3.

Autoimmune condition, body's immune system attack and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas.

Sits on top of each kidney and each gland has two parts; adrenal cortex and adrenal medulla.

12. Gestational Diabetes

Develops during pregnancy and usually resolves after birth.

One part of the adrenal gland, secretes cortisol, aldosterone, and androgens.
