Q

most active male sex hormone that stimulates production of sperm. excreted in the testes

A

testosterone

19
Q

these two hormones work together to regulate the body’s metabolism as long as the body as enough iodine in the blood. Controls metabolism. excreted in the thyroid glands

A

T3 and T4

20
Q

most active of the female hormones, causing development of female sex characteristics. excreted in the ovaries

A

estradiol

21
Q

converts glycogen into glucose to be used by the cells. Takes stored sugar out to raise blood sugar levels. excreted in the pancreas

A

glucagon

22
Q

has the opposite effect as glucagon’s released as blood glucose levels raise to carry this glucose into the cells to be used as energy. takes sugar into the cells. excreted in the pancreas

A

insulin

23
Q

part of the bodys immune response by causing lymphocytes to mature. excreted in the thymus

A

thymosin

24
Q

works opposite of calcitonin by pulling calcium out of the bones if blood level is too low. excreted in the parathyroid gland

A

parathyroid hormone

25
Q

maintains a persons sleep/wake cycle and internal rhythm. excreted in the pineal gland

A

melatonin

26
Q

stimulates breast to release milk after delivery and the uterus to contract for the delivery of a child. excreted in the pituitary gland.

A

oxytocin

27
Q

causes water and sodium to enter back into the blood supply after it is pulled out in the kidneys. excreted in the pituitary gland.

A

antidiuretic hormone

28
Q

main hormone that increases weight and height during puberty in all body cells. excreted in the pituitary gland.

A

growth hormone

29
Q

this hormone travels to the adrenal gland to cause the release of hormones aldosterone, cortisol, and androgens. excreted in the pituitary gland

A

adrenocorticotropic hormone

30
Q

supplemental male sex hormones. excreted in the adrenal glands

A

androgens

31
Q

stimulates the release of the egg from the ovary each month in females and the release of testosterone in males. excreted in the pituitary glands

A

luteinizing hormone

32
Q

breaks down stored glycogen and changes it to glucose, enters the blood stream to be used by the body for energy and to maintain normal glucose levels between meals. controls inflammation. excreted in the adrenal glands

A

cortisol

33
