Answer 10

secreted by the posterior pituitary gland and targets the Kidneys works to conserve body water by reducing urine output, dehydration

Question 11

Insulin

Answer 11

secreted by the beta cell islets of langerhans in the pancreas targets cells of muscles and organs to make them permeable to glucose

Question 12

glucagone

Answer 12

secreted by the alpha cell islets of langerhans in the pancreas, released when blood sugar levels are low and enables blood sugar levels to go back to normal

Question 13

epinepherine (adrenaline)

Answer 13

secreted by the adrenal glands and produced by the adrenal medulla, secreted when stress occurs

Question 14

norepinepherine (noradrenaline)

Answer 14

secreted by the adrenal glands and produced by the adrenal medulla, secreted when stress occurs

Question 15

glucocorticoids

Answer 15

released by the adrenal cortex, helps to regulate electrolyte, water balance, and blood sugar levels in times of stress

Question 16

mineralocorticoids

Answer 16

released by the adrenal cortex

Question 17

cortisol (glucocorticoids)

Answer 17

released by the adrenal cortex, stimulated the conversion of amino acids to glucose by the liver, thus raising blood pressure and stress

Question 18

Tropic hormone

Answer 18

hormone that stimulates a specific taget gland to secrete other hormones

Question 19

aldosterone (mineralcorticoid)

Answer 19

produced by the adrenal cortex, regulateswater balance by increasing sodium retention

Question 20

triiodothyronine (T3) and Thyroxin (T4)

Answer 20

produced by thyroid gland, used to regulate body metabolism and the growth differentiation of tissues, causes fat or skinny

Question 21

calcitonin

Answer 21

produced by the thyroid gland, acts on the bone cells to lower the level of calcium formed in the blood

Question 22

parathyroid hormones (PTH)

Answer 22

released from the parathyroid glands in the thyroid, it inhibits the release of calcitonin from the thryroid, released to restore calcium levels

Question 23

aldosterone

Answer 23

reabsorbs salt in the distal tubule, causes blood volume and pressure to increase
