endocrine
Alpha cells are to ________ as beta cells are to ________.
Glucagon, insulin
The zona reticularis of the suprarenal cortex produces
Androgens
An activated G protein can trigger
a fall in cAMP levels. the release of calcium ions from intracellular stores. the activation of adenyl cyclase. the opening of calcium ion channels in the membrane.
The zona glomerulosa of the suprarenal cortex produces
mineralocorticoids.
