GAS
A.
Can not diffuse through plasma membrane, hormone receptors are integral membrane proteins (act as 1st messenger, Cell response is turned off unless new hormone molecules arrive
B.
Promote absorption of Ca2+ and phosphate in gut. Inhibits PTH secertion
C.
Produces testosterone in the presence of LH. Found adjacent to seminiferous tubules (sight of sperm production)
D.
Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone (MSH)
E.
Endocrine
F.
Neurons from hypothalamus descend directly into the lobe. Hormones from hypothalamus secreted directly by axon terminals in the pituitary
G.
Collide
H.
The sella turcica of sphenoid bone
I.
Ovulation, secondary sex characteristic, regulation of menstrual cycle, produced by granulosa cells and secondarily by placenta during pregnancy
J.
From excess insulin injection, or pancreatic islet tumor. Causes hypoglycemia, weakness, and hunger. Triggers secretion of epinephrine, GH, and glucagon. (Side effects: anxiety, sweating,)
K.
70-100mg/dl after fasting and 140< after meal/glucose
L.
Exocrine
M.
General Adaption Syndrome. Stress response is a set of bodily changes.
N.
Stimulates growth of bone, cartilage, and muscle, etc. Timing and amount released determines body size (anterior pituitary)
O.
Pituitary disorder:Hypersecretion of growth hormones. Thickening of the bones and soft tissues. Problems in childhood or adolescence. Gigantism = oversecretion. Dwarfism = hyposecretion
P.
Promotes growth and development of endometrial lining of uterus. With fertilization, it is secreted by corpus luteum and placenta once functional
Q.
Calcitonin ("tones your bones")
R.
Disorder of adrenal gland. Excess cortical secretion. Hyperglycemia, hypertension, edema. Muscle and bone loss. Buffalo hump & moon face

incorrect
25.
Increases blood volume by causing kidneys to retain sodium in exchange for potassium. Increased blood volume increases BP
incorrect
26.
Secreted with in high blood glucose and amino acids after a meal. Inhibit both insulin and glucagon and may increase efficiency in digestion
incorrect
27.
Insulin dependent. Autoimmune disorder. Immune system destroys beta cells in pancreas (caused by lack of insulin)
incorrect
28.
Secreted after high carb meals. Stimulates glucose and amino acid uptake. Antagonizes glucagon
incorrect
29.
Disorder or adrenal glands. Adrenal androgen hyper secretion accompanies Cushing. Enlargement of sexual organs in children. Masculine effects in women.
incorrect
30.
Secretes hormones that regulate development and later activation of T-lymphocytes (superior to heart)
