A potent mineralocorticoid secreted by the adrenal cortex that
maintains extracellular fluid volume. - Answer: aldosterone
A hormone released from the posterior pituitary gland that
regulates fluid volume by stimulating re absorption of water by
the renal tubules. - Answer: Antidiuretic hormone
A hormone produced by the thyroid gland in response to high
circulating calcium levels; acts to reduce the blood level of
calcium and to inhibit bone resorption. - Answer: calcitonin
sympathomimetic compounds composed of a catechol molecule
and an amine from the amino acid tyrosine, include
norepinephrine, epinephrine and dopamine - Answer:
catecholamines
, Any one of the glucocorticoid, mineralocorticoid, or androgen
hormones secreted by the adrenal cortex that influence or
control key processes of the body. - Answer: corticosteroid
The most abundant and potent glucocorticoid produced by the
adrenal gland. - Answer: cortisol
A hormone synthesized and released from the pancreatic alpha
cells in response to low levels of blood glucose, protein ingestion
and exercise - Answer: glucagon
An anterior pituitary hormone that affects the growth and
development of skeletal muscles and long bones affecting a
person's size and height. - Answer: growth hormone
a chemical substance synthesized by a specific organ or tissue
and secreted directly directly into the blood where it is
circulated to specific target tissues - Answer: hormone
An anabolic hormone secreted by the beta cells of the islets of
Langerhans in the pancreas that is the principal regulator of the
metabolism and storage of ingested carbohydrates, fats, and
proteins. - Answer: insulin
