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