Across
  1. 7. hormones that do not enter the bloodstream
  2. 9. messenger model/mechanism of hormone action used by steroid hormones which bring their message directly into the cell
  3. 10. gland/one of a pair of ductless glands, located above the kidneys, consisting of a cortex, which produces steroidal hormones, and a medulla, which produces epinephrine and norepinephrine.
  4. 12. hormone/hormone secreted by the posterior pituitary gland which aids in water reabsorption by the kidney
  5. 14. hormone production by an endocrine gland
  6. 17. system/a collection of glands and groups of cells thats secrete hormones that regulate growth,development, and homeostsis
  7. 18. hormone/class of hormones that can pass through the cell membrane; can be stored in the body
  8. 19. by the thyroid gland and decreases the blood calcium levels by stimulating calcium deposit in the bones. The antagonist of the parathyroid hormone.
  9. 21. hormone production by an endocrine gland
  10. 24. hormone/A peptide hormone released from the anterior pituitary, it stimulates the production and secretion of steroid hormones by the adrenal cortex.
  11. 26. hormone/hormone secreted by anterior pituitary gland that stimulates growth of bones
  12. 27. hormones/class of hormones that cannot pass through the cell membrane; less likely to be stored in the body
  13. 28. gland/the master gland of the endocrine system
Down
  1. 1. of the brain which links the endocine and nervous system, and controls the pituitary gland.
  2. 2. part of kidney which produces corticosteroids; helps body deal with longtern stress
  3. 3. by parathyroid glands and controls calcium and phosphate metabolism
  4. 4. hormone/A protein hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary that stimulates ovulation in females and androgen production in males.
  5. 5. affecting nerves causing muscle spasms as a result of low amounts of calcium in the blood caused by a deficiency of the parathyroid hormone
  6. 6. of the GH in adults which causes an overgrowth of bones in the hands, feet, and face
  7. 8. hormone released by anterior pituitary which promotes lactation.
  8. 11. "messengers" of the endocrine system that are released into the blood
  9. 13. gland/gland found in neck that regulates rate of metabolism; produces thyroxine
  10. 15. messenger model/mechanism of hormone action used by protein hormones; attach to cell membrane receptors which activate enzymes in the cell to produce the desired effect
  11. 16. feedback/a response that opposes the original stimulus
  12. 20. feedback/Process that amplifies a small change (Reinforce change)
  13. 22. condition in which the body's bones become weak and break easily; may be caused by hypersecretion of parahormone
  14. 23. stimulating hormone/secreted in increasing amounts during puberty, by the anterior pituitary gland, to stimulate development of reproductive cell follicles
  15. 25. hormone produced by the hypothalamus and released from the posterior pituitary. It induces contractions of the uterine muscles during labor.
