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