Across
  1. 3. hyposecretion of insulin by the pancreas or the inability of insulin to exert its effects; characterized by hyperglycemia, increased urinary output w/ glycosuria & thirst
  2. 6. a decrease in secretion of hormones, or low amounts secreted
  3. 9. having the same effects as sympathetic impulses, as has epinephrine (hormone of adrenal medulla)
  4. 14. epinephrine & norepinephrine, hormones secreted by the adrenal medulla
  5. 15. a high blood calcium level
  6. 16. an enlargement of the thyroid gland, due to the lack of dietary iodine
  7. 17. hyposecretion of the hormones of adrenal cortex, characterized by low blood pressure, dehydration, muscle weakness, & mental lethargy
  8. 18. the conversion of glucose to glycogen to be stored as potential energy
  9. 19. of Langerhans the endocrine portions of the pancreas that secrete insulin & glucagon
  10. 21. hypersecretion of growth hormone in adult, resulting in excessive growth of bones of the face, hands, & feet
  11. 22. all the reactions that take place w/in the body. Anabolism synthesis reaction, coming together, requires energy. Catabolism breakdown reaction, releases energy
  12. 24. the organ (tissue) in which a hormone exerts its specific effects
  13. 25. cells of Islets of Langerhans of the pancreas that secrete the hormone glucagon
  14. 29. a high blood glucose level
  15. 30. the pituitary gland
Down
  1. 1. a metabolic acidosis that results from the accumulation of ketones in the blood when fats & proteins are used for energy production
  2. 2. the conversion of stored glycogen to glucose to be sued for energy production
  3. 4. cells of Islets of Langerhans of the pancreas that secrete the hormone insulin
  4. 5. a low blood calcium level
  5. 7. hypersecretion of the glucocorticoids of the adrenal cortex, characterized by fragility of skin, poor wound healing, truncal fat deposition, & thin extremities
  6. 8. a low blood glucose level
  7. 10. excessive growth of the body or its parts; result of hypersecretion of growth hormone in childhood
  8. 11. hyposecretion of thyroxine in an infant, uncorrected, result is severe mental & physical retardation
  9. 12. an increase in secretion of hormones, or high amounts secreted
  10. 13. monosaccharide, primary energy source for body cell
  11. 20. locally acting hormone-like substance produced by virtually all cells from the phospholipids of their cell membrane (have varied functions)
  12. 23. a hormone secreted by adrenal medulla that stimulates many responses to enable the body to react to a stressful situation
  13. 26. the condition of being abnormally small, caused by deficiency of growth hormone
  14. 27. hyposecretion of thyroxine in an adult, decreased metabolic rate results in physical & mental lethargy
  15. 28. drowsiness, laziness, or indifferent
