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.

Type 1 diabetes diabetes mellitus.

no insulin is produced glucose levels higher than normal

When adenyl cyclase is activated,

ATP is consumed and cAMP is formed

Hormones known as "catecholamines" are

derivatives of the amino acid tyrosine.

Cushing's disease results from an excess of

glucocorticoids.

The zona fasciculata of the suprarenal cortex produces

glucocorticoids.

The main action of antidiuretic hormone is

increased water conservation by kidneys.

peptide hormones

A structure known as the corpus luteum secretes

progesterone

parathyroid function

regulate blood calcium concentration
