Endocrine System
Across
- 4. A __________ disorder is one in which the peripheral endocrine gland is affected.
- 6. Symptom caused by overstimulation of TSH receptors.
- 9. The process of building larger molecules from smaller ones to be stored, such as the building up of glycogen from glucose which is regulated by insulin.
- 10. A tertiary problem in a hypothatlamic-pituitary endocrine axis is an issue with the ___________.
- 14. Insulin and glucagon are ________ hormones, a type of hydrophilic hormone made from 3-200 amino acids.
- 15. Beta cells and alpha cells send signals to eachother through _________ communication within pancreatic islets.
- 16. Insulin is required for the transport of glucose in _____________ muscle cells.
- 20. In high amounts, this hormone has negative feedback on its hypothalamic-pituitary axis, and is also immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory.
- 22. This hormone stimulates the sealing of the epiphysis in long bones, preventing any more bone growth.
- 23. A hormone secreted by pancreatic alpha cells that increases blood glucose mainly by stimulating glycogenolysis in the liver, and has no direct effect on skeletal muscle.
- 24. Inputs from this division of the autonomic nervous system inhibit insulin secretion by beta cells.
- 25. __________ will spontaneously covalently attach to glucose, so tests can use this to determine blood glucose.
Down
- 1. A person with untreated diabetes mellitus will have high levels of this hormone that increases permeability of the kidney's distal tubules to water.
- 2. Insulin is NOT required for the transport of glucose in ________ cells, brain cells, or contracting muscle cells.
- 3. T4 can be converted into T3 thyroid hormone with _____________.
- 5. This hormone does not have negative feedback, and has effects on the reproductive system.
- 7. This hormone secreted by the adrenal medulla inhibits insulin secretion while stimulating lipolysis and gluconeogenesis.
- 8. Within male bone, testosterone is locally converted to estradiol via this enzyme.
- 11. _________ hormone is permissive to the effects of growth hormone in long bones.
- 12. Perinatal deficiency of this mineral can cause inadequate myelination of cerebral cortex, poor motor skills, a shorter stature, and intellectual impairments.
- 13. When someone lacks insulin, blood fatty acids are increased and are burned as _________, causing lower pH in blood.
- 17. Major inhibitory hormone that prevents growth hormone, insulin, and glucagon levels from becoming too high.
- 18. Insulin promotes the storage of glucose as _________ in liver, muscle, and adipose tissue.
- 19. An anterior pituitary hormone inhibited by dopamine.
- 21. The osmotic diuresis symptom of diabetes mellitus causing frequent urination, caused by an increase of glucose filtered out by the kidneys.
