  1. 4. A __________ disorder is one in which the peripheral endocrine gland is affected.
  2. 6. Symptom caused by overstimulation of TSH receptors.
  3. 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.
  4. 10. A tertiary problem in a hypothatlamic-pituitary endocrine axis is an issue with the ___________.
  5. 14. Insulin and glucagon are ________ hormones, a type of hydrophilic hormone made from 3-200 amino acids.
  6. 15. Beta cells and alpha cells send signals to eachother through _________ communication within pancreatic islets.
  7. 16. Insulin is required for the transport of glucose in _____________ muscle cells.
  8. 20. In high amounts, this hormone has negative feedback on its hypothalamic-pituitary axis, and is also immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory.
  9. 22. This hormone stimulates the sealing of the epiphysis in long bones, preventing any more bone growth.
  10. 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.
  11. 24. Inputs from this division of the autonomic nervous system inhibit insulin secretion by beta cells.
  12. 25. __________ will spontaneously covalently attach to glucose, so tests can use this to determine blood glucose.
Down
  1. 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. 2. Insulin is NOT required for the transport of glucose in ________ cells, brain cells, or contracting muscle cells.
  3. 3. T4 can be converted into T3 thyroid hormone with _____________.
  4. 5. This hormone does not have negative feedback, and has effects on the reproductive system.
  5. 7. This hormone secreted by the adrenal medulla inhibits insulin secretion while stimulating lipolysis and gluconeogenesis.
  6. 8. Within male bone, testosterone is locally converted to estradiol via this enzyme.
  7. 11. _________ hormone is permissive to the effects of growth hormone in long bones.
  8. 12. Perinatal deficiency of this mineral can cause inadequate myelination of cerebral cortex, poor motor skills, a shorter stature, and intellectual impairments.
  9. 13. When someone lacks insulin, blood fatty acids are increased and are burned as _________, causing lower pH in blood.
  10. 17. Major inhibitory hormone that prevents growth hormone, insulin, and glucagon levels from becoming too high.
  11. 18. Insulin promotes the storage of glucose as _________ in liver, muscle, and adipose tissue.
  12. 19. An anterior pituitary hormone inhibited by dopamine.
  13. 21. The osmotic diuresis symptom of diabetes mellitus causing frequent urination, caused by an increase of glucose filtered out by the kidneys.
