 epinephrine

The hormone that dilates the bronchioles is epinephrine

The hormone that increases heart rate and slows peristalsis is epinephrine

The effect of epinephrine on the liver is to increase the conversion of glycogen to glucose

The effects of epinephrine are very similar to those of the sympathetic nervous system.

The adrenal hormone that has secondary effects of increasing blood volume and blood pressure
is aldosterone

The hormone that conserves glucose for use by the brain is cortisol

Insulin enables cells to take in amino acids and use them for

Blood glucose level is raised by the pancreatic hormone glucagon

Blood glucose level is lowered by the pancreatic hormone insulin

The pancreatic hormone that increases the conversion of glycogen to glucose by the liver is
glucagon

The endocrine parts of the pancreas are called islets of Langerhans

The hormone that decreases the blood calcium level is calcitonin

The hormone that increases the blood calcium level is PTH

The target organs of PTH are bones, kidneys, small intestine

The target organs of calcitonin are bones

Secretion of cortisol is stimulated by ACTH from the anterior pituitary gland

Secretion of thyroxine is stimulated by TSH from the anterior pituitary gland

In men, LH stimulates secretion of testosterone

The effect of oxytocin on the mammary glands is to stimulate the release of milk

The effect of oxytocin on the uterus is to cause what contractions

The effect of oxytocin on the uterus is to cause contractions for labor; delivery

The endocrine glands that have two distinct parts are the pituitary gland and adrenal
gland

A regulating mechanism that contains its own brake is called a negative feedback mechanism
In a negative feedback mechanism, when the effect of a hormone increases, the secretion of the
hormone decreases

The hormones that a cell will respond to are determined by th what on the cell's membrane or in
its cytoplasm. receptors

In the two-messenger mechanism of the action of protein hormones, the first messenger is the
hormone , which must bond to a what on the cell membrane receptor

Steroid hormones are believed to exert their affects by activating certain what within a cell
genes

The endocrine gland that is on the front of the trachea is the thyroid gland and on the back of
this gland are the parathyroid glands

The endocrine glands that are on top of the kidneys are the adrenal glands and the gland in the
curve of the duodenum is the pancreas

The hormone that directly increases the reabsorption of water by the kidneys is ADH which is
secreted by the posterior pituitary gland

The hormone that causes contractions of the uterus is oxytocin which is secreted by the
posterior pituitary gland

The hormone that initiates sperm production in the testes is FSH which is produced by the
anterior pituitary gland

The hormone that initiates the development of egg cells in the ovary is FSH which is produced by
the anterior pituitary gland

The hormone that stimulates secretion of testosterone by the testes is LH pituitary from the
anterior pituitary gland

The hormone that stimulates milk production is prolactin from the anterior pituitary

Calcitonin is secreted by the thyroid gland, and its target organs are bones

The hormone that raises the blood calcium level is PTH and the hormone that lowers the blood
calcium level is calcitonin

The hormone that enables cells to take in glucose to use for energy production is insulin
produced by the pancreas

The pancreatic hormone glucagon is secreted between meals, and what pancreatic hormone is
secreted right after meals insulin

The specific cells that produce insulin are beta cells, and they do so when the blood glucose level
 increases

The specific cells that produce glucagon are what cells, and they do so when the blood glucose
level decreases alpha

Glucagon increases the use of what two things for energy production. fats and excess amino
acids

Cortisol is secreted by the adrenal cortex, which is the what portion of this gland. outer

The hormone cortisol stimulates most body cells to use fats and what for energy production.
excess amino acids

what hormone has an anti-inflammatory effect because it stabilizes the lysosomes within cells
cortisol

The hormone aldosterone is secreted by the adrenal cortex, and its target organs are the kidneys

The function of aldosterone is to increase renal reabsorption of sodium ions and excretion of
potassium ions

The adrenal hormone that has a secondary effect on blood pH is aldosterone, because it
promotes the excretion of hydrogen ions

The adrenal medulla is the inner part of the adrenal gland, and secretes the hormones
epinephrine and norepinephrine

The major function of norepinephrine is to stimulate what throughout the body

vasoconstriction

The hormone that increases the use of all three food types for energy is thyroxine, which is
produced by the waht gland thyroid

The hormone that increases the rate of mitosis in growing tissues is GH, which is produced by
the waht gland anterior pituitary

Growth hormone stimulates the transport of amino acids into cells, to be used for the synthesis
of proteins

what is the description of Myxedema muscular weakness, slow heart rate,

what is the description of Cretinism severe mental and physical disability

what is the description of Dwarfism minimal growth of long bones very short stature

what is the description of Addison disease Severe dehydration and hypoglycemia

what is the description of Diabetes mellitus cells cannot utilize glucose for energy the blood
glucose level rises
