🗑
Endocrine Gladys communicate by   Chemical signals  
🗑
General characteristics of endocrine system   Neurons release neurotransmitters into a synapse affecting post synaptic cells  
🗑
Chemical signal   Neurotransmitter hormone  
🗑
Cells   Neurotransmitter glandular epithelium  
🗑

🗑
Growth hormone   Used with steroids usually joint pain swelling hard to detect  
🗑
Erythropoietin   Red loading by a hormone produced by the kidneys which stimulates more rbc production heart attacks  
🗑
Control of hormonal secretion   Primary controlled by negative feedback mechanism  
🗑

🗑
Anterior lobe front   Adenohypophysis hypothalamic releasing hormones stimulate cells  
🗑
Posterior lobe back   Neurohypophysis neurosecretory cells extending from hypothalamus release hormones into bloodstream  
🗑

Thyroid gland produces   T4 thyroxine T3 triiodothyronine and calcitonin  
🗑
Type 1 diabetes juvenile   Autoimmune disorder where pancreatic beta cells are destroyed halting insulin production  
🗑
Type two diabetes   Cells lose functional insulin receptors and therefore less able to respond to insulin  
🗑
Type 3   Gastroentril diabetes pregnancy  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
