| Secrete products into body fluids to affect target cells | Endocrine |
| The Endocrine's system is to communicate with cells using chemicals called | Hormones |
| Pituitary gland, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, adrenal galnds, pancreas | Endocrine Glands |
| Can influence target cells even if they are present in | Minute Concentrations |

| Influences certain endocrine glands indirectly | The Nervous System |
| Other glands respond directly to changes in ehe what? | Internal fluid composition |
| Attached to the base of the brain and has an anterior lobe and posterior lobe | The Pituitary Gland |
| Releasing hormones from the hypthalamus control the secretions of the what? | Anterior Pituitary |
| Releases hormones into the bloodstream in response to nerve impulses from the hypothalamus | Posterior pituitary |
| Stimulates body cells to grow and reporduce; it also speeds the rate at which cells use carbohydrates & fats | Growth Hormone |
| Promotes milk production following the birth of an infant | Prolactin |
| Gonatropins affeting the male and female gonads | Follicle-stimulating hormone and lutenizing hormone |
| Neurons in the Hypothalamus produce_______which are stored in the posterior pituitary | Antidiuretic hormone and oxytocin |
| _____produces its effect by causing kidneys to conserve water | Antidiuretic hormone |
| _____plays a role in childbirh by contracting muscles in the uterine wall, and forcing milk into ducts from the milk glands | Oxytocin |
| _____is located below the larnx and consists of 2 broad lobes connected by an isthmus | The Thyroid Gland |
| _____produces 2 iodine-containing hormones | The Follicuar cells |
| Together_____ and ______ regulate energy metabolism | Thyroxine and triiodothyronine |
| Extrafollicular cells of the thyroid secrete______, which lowers blood levels of calcium and phosphate ions | Calcitonin |
| _____increases blood calcium ion concentration and decreases phosphate ion concentration | Parathyroid hormone |
| ____ and______ exert opposite effects in regulating calcium iopn levels in the blood | Calcitonin and PTH (parathyroid hormone) |
| _______sit atop the kidneys enclosed in a layer of fat | The adrenal glands |
| _______secretes epinepherine and norepinepherine into the blood stream | The adrenal medulla |
| _______causes the kidneys to conserve sodium ions and excrete potassium ions | Aldosterone |
| ________ influences the metabolism of glucose, protien, and fat in response to conditions that stress the body and require a greater supply of energy in the bloodstream. | Cortisol |
