🗑
The ____ are the pancreatic islet cells that produce insulin   Beta Cells  
🗑
The _____ are the pancreatic islets cells that produce glucagon   Alpha Cells  
🗑
Atrial natriuretic peptide is a hormone that controls blood pressure in part by increasing the urinary excretion of ________   Sodium  
🗑
The endocrine gland that is probably malfunctioning if a person has a high metabolic rate is the _______   Thyroid  
🗑
Gluconeogenesis occurs in the liver due to the action of _______   Cortisol  
🗑
Sometimes prolonged excessive exposure to high hormone concentrations causes a phenomenon known as _______   Down regulation  
🗑
The ability of a specific tissue or organ to respond to the presence of a hormone is dependent on ________   The presence of the appropriate receptors on the cells of the target tissue or organ  
🗑
Thyroid hormone enters target cells in a manner similar to ________   steroid hormones (or lipid-soluble) because both diffuse easily into target cells  
🗑
The major targets of growth hormone are _______   Bones and skeletal muscles
