  5. 15. The hypothalamo-pituitary-somatotropic endocrine axis is also known as the __ axis
  6. 16. Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), also known as somatocrinin, stimulates the release of ___ hormone.
  7. 17. In females, FH stimulates the development of follicles and ___ which also stimulating the secretion of estradiol
  8. 19. In females, __ acts to trigger ovulation, stimulate the formation of the corpus luteum, and stimulate secretion of estradiol and progesterone.
  9. 21. Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) stimualtes secretion of ___ ___ hormone.
  10. 25. In males, LH acts on the lytic cells of the testes and stimulates the secretion of ____.

Down
  1. 1. Rapid HR, nervousness, anxiety, irritability, diarrhea, weight loss
  2. 2. Do males or females tend to have a large GHRH production?
  3. 5. IGF-1 in bones increases osteoblast activity, increases osteoclast activity, and increases protein synthesis.
  4. 6. The adrenal cortex secretes ___
  5. 7. GH promotes the growth of ___ muscle, bone and cartilages. It does so by 2 pathways: metabolism and gene expression.
  6. 8. For the HPT Axis, the __ gland secretes T3 and T4
  7. 9. The hypothalamus for the HPA axis will release CRH, which causes the pituitary gland to release ACTH and this will then travel to the adrenal glands to make and release stress hormones, the main one being __

  12. 18. These are the most numerous anterior pituitary cell type
  13. 20. The hypothalamus is stimulated to release ___ for the HPS axis. This happens when there is a high amino acid concentration, low glucose concentration, and low fatty acid concentration in the blood.
  14. 22. IGF-2 Plays a more vital role during ___ development, stimulating placental and fetal growth without the regulation of GH
  15. 23. The HPT axis focuses on ___ release
  16. 24. The adrenal glands are located ___ the kidneys
