Stimulates the release of thyroid hormone
THS
Anterior pituitary gland
TSH
The anterior pituitary secretes:
TSH (stimulating hormones)
Testes
Testosterone
Stimulates cell metabolism
Thyroxine
Thyroid gland
Thyroxine
Calcitonin causes:
a decrease in the blood concentration of calcium
Glucagon:
accelerates liver glycogenolysis
Nonsteroid hormones:
can cause the formation of cAMP
Hormones:
can use both negative and positive feedback mechanisms
Steroid hormones:
cause protein synthesis in the cell
Nonsteroid hormones have hormone receptors in the:
cell membrane
The placenta releases:
chorionic gonadotropins, progesterone, and estrogen
The ovary secretes:
estrogen
The parathyroid hormone:
has the opposite effect of calcitonin
Aldosterone:
increases blood sodium levels
ADH:
increases the amount of water reabsorbed by the kidney
In order for T4 to be produced, the diet must contain sufficient amounts of:
iodine
Aldosterone:
is a mineralocorticoid
Nitric oxide:
is a second messenger
The posterior pituitary gland:
is also called the neurohypophysis
The anterior pituitary:
is called the adenohypophysis
The thyroid gland:
is found in the neck
Insulin:
is made by beta cells in the pancreas, has the opposite effect of glucagon and decreases the blood glucose level
Cortisol:
is made in the middle zone of the adrenal cortex, is a glucocorticoid and has an anti-immunity effect
Oxytocin:
is released by the posterior pituitary gland, it stimulates uterine contraction by using a positive feedback mechanism
Epinephrine:
is released in response to stress
TSH:
is secreted by the adenohypophysis, and it stimulates the release of thyroid hormone

parathyroid hormone
The hormone that has the opposite function of calcitonin is:
parathyroid hormone
Aldosterone has an impact on the concentration of which substance in the blood?
potassium and sodium
Testosterone is:
produced by the interstitial cells of the testes and is the masculinizing hormone
The thymus gland:
produces thymosin
The corpus luteum secretes mostly:
progesterone but some estrogen
Lactogenic hormone is another name for:
prolactin
Which of the following is not a tropic hormone?
prolactin
Nonsteroid hormones can be made of:
proteins
The endocrine system consists of glands that:
release chemicals carried by the blood
Androgens, which are similar to testosterone, are:
secreted by the inner zone of the adrenal cortex
The pineal gland is:
sometimes called the "third eye"
Exocrine glands do not:
stimulate receptors in target cells
Cortisol:
stimulates gluconeogenesis
FSH:
stimulates the primary ovarian follicle to develop
This endocrine gland is not in the brain:
