◉ paracrine gland. Answer: a secretion that enters interstitial fluid; acts
on neighboring cells
◉ autocrine gland. Answer: a secretion that only affects the secreting
cell
◉ endocrine gland. Answer: secretes hormones into the internal
environment
◉ exocrine glands. Answer: secretions enter tubes/ducts that lead to
body surfaces.
◉ hypothalamus. Answer: regulates pituitary gland secretion
◉ steroid hormones. Answer: soluble in lipids (cholesterol); protein
receptors, mRNA
, ◉ tropic hormones. Answer: stimulate other endocrine glands to release
hormones; released by anterior pituitary gland via hypothalamus
◉ glucagon. Answer: increase in blood glucose
◉ insulin. Answer: promotes formation of glycogen; inhibits conversion
of noncarbohydrates into glucose; enhances movement of glucose
through adipose and muscle cell membranes; promotes transport of
amino acids into cells
◉ diabetes mellitus. Answer: Type 1 is when the pancreas cannot
produce insulin (autoimmune); Type 2 is non insulin dependents

positive baby = first pregnancy okay; Rh positive blood enters mother
and mother produces Rh anti-bodies; second pregnancy may result in
destruction of red blood cells in fetus; erythroblastosis fetalis
