Across
  1. 1. an enlargement of the thyroid gland, due to the lack of dietary iodine
  2. 4. Hormone a hormone secreted by anterior pituitary gland that increases the rate of cell division & protein synthesis
  3. 7. Mellitus hyposecretion of insulin by the pancreas or the inability of insulin to exert its effects; characterized by hyperglycemia, increased urinary output w/ glycosuria & thirst
  4. 8. the conversion of stored glycogen to glucose to be sued for energy production
  5. 10. locally acting hormone-like substance produced by virtually all cells from the phospholipids of their cell membrane (have varied functions)
  6. 11. Organ the organ (tissue) in which a hormone exerts its specific effects
  7. 16. having the same effects as sympathetic impulses, as has epinephrine (hormone of adrenal medulla)
  8. 18. a hormone secreted by the thyroid gland that increases energy production & protein synthesis
  9. 20. Hormones hormones released by the hypothalamus that stimulate secretion of hormones by the anterior pituitary gland
  10. 22. an increase in secretion of hormones, or high amounts secreted
  11. 23. of Langerhans the endocrine portions of the pancreas that secrete insulin & glucagon
  12. 24. epinephrine & norepinephrine, hormones secreted by the adrenal medulla
  13. 26. Syndrome hypersecretion of the glucocorticoids of the adrenal cortex, characterized by fragility of skin, poor wound healing, truncal fat deposition, & thin extremities
  14. 28. a metabolic acidosis that results from the accumulation of ketones in the blood when fats & proteins are used for energy production
  15. 29. a decrease in secretion of hormones, or low amounts secret
Down
  1. 1. the conversion of excess amino acids to simple CHO or to glucose to be used for energy production
  2. 2. a high blood calcium level
  3. 3. hypersecretion of growth hormone in adult, resulting in excessive growth of bones of the face, hands, & feet
  4. 5. a low blood calcium level
  5. 6. a high blood glucose level
  6. 9. disease hypersecretion of thyroxine, believed to be autoimmune disease, symptoms reflect the metabolic rate
  7. 12. the pituitary gland
  8. 13. a low blood glucose level
  9. 14. the conversion of glucose to glycogen to be stored as potential energy
  10. 15. the temporary endocrine gland formed from an ovarian follicle that has released an ovum; secretes progesterone & estrogen
  11. 17. hyposecretion of thyroxine in an infant, uncorrected, result is severe mental & physical retardation
  12. 19. cells of Islets of Langerhans of the pancreas that secrete the hormone insulin
  13. 21. disease hyposecretion of the hormones of adrenal cortex, characterized by low blood pressure, dehydration, muscle weakness, & mental lethargy
  14. 25. cells of Islets of Langerhans of the pancreas that secrete the hormone glucagon
  15. 27. excessive growth of the body or its parts; result of hypersecretion of growth hormone in childhood
