A

Epinephrine

18

19
Q

in long-term stress, —————- stimulates the adrenal cortex to synthesize and secrete corticosteroids

21
Q

maintains salt and water balance.

Mineralocorticoids

22
Q

is a condition where there is a decreased secretion from adrenal cortex due.

This is caused by cortex degradation due to autoimmune responses, tuberculosis or invasion by cancer.

A

Addison’s disease

23
Q

regulates how the body uses and stores glucose and fat. It is produced by the pancreas.
Insulin
26
Insulin, a peptide hormone consisting of -- amino acid residues
51
27
impact blood glucose levels and insulin production. They start as a metabolic syndrome related to both hormonal and nutritional imbalances.
Diabetes and hypoglycemia
28
happens when the body does not respond to insulin leading to blood glucose imbalance
Insulin resistance
29
forms of diabetes
Prediabetes, Type 1 diabetes , Type 2 diabetes
30
is the condition when blood glucose levels are higher than normal range but not enough to exhibit diabetes diagnosis.
Prediabetes
31
occurs when the pancreas makes very little or no insulin. This can be solved by taking insulin every day.
Type 1 diabetes

is when the body becomes resistant to the action of insulin. It is the most common form of diabetes.

36
can be associated with low estrogen and causes gradual loss of bone density (osteoporosis).
Menopause
