GH-RH

Answer 10

forces anterior pituitary gland to release GH

Question 11

GH-IH

Answer 11

inhibits release of GH

Question 13

ADH

Answer 13

conserve water in blood

Question 14

OXT

stimulates contractions during labor and forces emptying of milk from mammary gland

Question 15

T3(2)

Answer 15

attach to mitochondria and turn it on; attach to genes to make enzymes for glycolysis

Question 16

T4

Answer 16

attach to mitochondria and turn it on; attach to genes to make enzymes for glycolysis

Question 17

CT

Answer 17

causes kidneys to dump Ca+ back into the blood–>stimulates osteoblasts–>bones get thicker

Question 18

PTH

Answer 18

stimulate osteoclasts–>reduce bone size; conserve/bring Ca+ back into blood

Question 19

E(epinephrine)

Answer 19

break down glucose for ATP production; break down fatty acids; bigger and more heart contractions

Question 20

NE(3)

Answer 20

break down glucose for ATP production; break down fatty acids; bigger and more heart contractions

Question 21

EPO

Answer 21

makes bone marrow produce more RBCs

Question 22

CORT(2)

Answer 22

glucose sparing effect(conserve glucose); dump fatty acids into blood

Question 23

ALDO

Answer 23

absorbs Na+ from urine back into blood–>H2O follows–>Na+ is pulled out and K+ is brought back in; sensitive taste buds/tongue=desire salt

Question 24

AR

MEL

Answer 25

helps with circadian rhythm and sleep

Question 26

Answer 26

targets a gene for membrane protecting glucose gates

Question 27

GCG

Answer 27

break up glycogen chains and dump them into the blood

Question 28

D3

Answer 28

tells small intestine cells to absorb more Ca+ from food into the blood

Question 29

REN

Answer 29

targets ADH, ALDO, and ANG II; activates angiotension II-->increases BP-->antagonist effect on the heart

Question 30

ANG II

Answer 30

makes the kidney absorb more water from urine; increases BP

Question 31

ANP

Answer 31

makes the kidney not absorb as much water from urine; lowers BP; works against ADH, ALDO, and ANG II

Question 32

A II

Answer 32

stimulates the development of T cells

Question 33

T

Answer 33

promote sperm production and maturation

Question 34

Answer 35

builds uterine lining

Question 36

P

Answer 36

adds glands to uterine lining

Question 37

LEP

Answer 37

supresses hunger

Question 38

IGF

Answer 38

causes the release of GH and is stimulated from the hypothalamus
