25
parathyroid hormone
regulated calcium levels, increases body's ability to break down calcium, breaks down bone to release calcium
26
hyperparathyroidism
parathyroid produces too much PTH
27
Where is the hypothalamus?
below the thalamus
28
Adrenal Glands
on top of the kidneys
29
Adrenal medulla
inner region of adrenal glands
30
Epinephrine&Norepinephrine
produced from adrenal medulla, regulate fight or flight (adrenaline)
31
Adrenal Cortex
Outer region of adrenal glands
32
Glucocorticoids
produced from adrenal cortex, helps body respond to stress
33
Mineralcorticoids
produced from adrenal cortex, regulates balance
34
Sex hormones
produced from adrenal cortex, secondary sex characteristics
35
Pancreas
behind and below stomach
36
insulin
produced by the pancreas, decreases blood glucose
37
glucagon
produced by pancreas, increases blood glucose
38
Diabetes Mellitus
polyuria, polyphagia, polydipsia
39
Pineal Gland
behind 3rd central ventricle in the brain
40
melatonin
produced by the pineal gland, affects sleep patterns
41

48
General Adaptation Syndrome
reaction to a stressor (fear, anxiety, etc)
49
Alarm Stage (Fight or Flight)
beginning reaction to a stressor
50
Resistance Stage
body continues to stress, adrenal cortex sends glucocorticoids to increase blood sugar
51
