Estrogen

Answer 11

• Ovaries
• Development of female sex characteristics and growth of the uterus
• Rhythmic feedback loop

Question 12

Thymosin

Answer 12

-Thymus
-Stimulates T-cell development necessary for immunity
- Unknown regulation

Question 13

Parathyroid Hormones

Answer 13

-Parathyroid
-Increase osteoclast activity
-Negative feedback loop

Question 14

Adrenocorticotropic Hormones

Answer 14

• Anterior Pituitary
  -Production/secretion of steroids
  -Negative feedback loop

Question 15

Thyroid Stimulating Hormones

Answer 15

-Anterior Pituitary
-production/secretion of thyroid hormone
- Negative feedback loop

Question 16

Insulin

Answer 16

• Pancreas
• lower blood glucose levels by causing glucose to be converted to glycogen, which is stored in fat and muscle cells.
• Negative feedback loop

Question 17

Norepinephrine

Answer 17

-Neurotransmitter
-Facilitate Physiological stress response (fight-or-flight). Increase heart rate, blood pressure, pupil dilation, bronchodilation (to breathe easier) decreased peristalsis. If the stressful stimuli remain, more & more norepinephrine will be secreted until the stimuli leave (or the body dies)
- Positive feedback loop

Question 18

Progesterone

Answer 18

• Ovaries
  -Prepares uterus for implantation of fertile egg and aids in maintaining pregnancy
• Rhythmic feedback loop

- Rhythmic feedback loop

Question 21

Gonadocorticoids

Answer 21

-Adrenal Cortex
-Convert to testosterone and estrogen to develop secondary sex characteristics
- Negative feedback loop

Question 22

Testosterone

Answer 22

-Testes
-production of sperm cells and development of male secondary sex characteristic
-Rhythmic feedback loop
