What hormones does the Releasing and inhibiting hormones, ADH, and
hypothalamus secrete? Oxytocin.
What is the function of the posterior Stores and releases hypothalamic hormones.
pituitary gland?
What hormones does the anterior Makes and stores its own hormones.
pituitary gland produce?
What hormones does the thyroid T3 and T4 for growth and development, and
gland produce? calcitonin to lower blood calcium levels.
What does parathyroid hormone Increases blood calcium levels by stimulating bone
(PTH) do? resorption.
What hormones are produced by the Steroid hormones.
adrenal cortex?
What hormones are produced by the Epinephrine and norepinephrine.
adrenal medulla?
What is the difference between amino Amino acid-based hormones are water-soluble and
acid-based and steroid hormones? require a membrane receptor; steroid hormones are
lipid-soluble and can pass through the cell
membrane.
, What are humoral stimuli in hormone Stimuli that test blood levels.
regulation?
What are neural stimuli in hormone Stimuli that involve neurotransmitters.
regulation?
What are hormonal stimuli in hormone Stimuli that set off a chain reaction to other
regulation? endocrine organs.
What is negative feedback in Turns off hormone secretion after reaching
hormonal control? homeostasis.
What is positive feedback in hormonal Keeps hormone secretions ongoing.
control?

posterior pituitary?
What is the process of thyroid Iodide enters thyroid cells, is oxidized to iodine,
hormone synthesis? attaches to DIT or MIT to form T3 or T4, and is
exocytosed into the bloodstream.
What does the zona glomerulosa Aldosterone, which resorbs sodium from the kidneys.
produce?
What does the zona fasciculata Cortisol, which forms glucose from fats and proteins.

produce? estrogens.
What are the symptoms of diabetes Polyuria, polydipsia, and polyphagia.
mellitus?
What is the role of albumin in blood? Maintains blood composition and function.
