Across
- 2. hyposecretion of the hormones of adrenal cortex, characterized by low blood pressure, dehydration, muscle weakness, & mental lethargy
- 3. polysaccharide, storage of excess glucose in liver and/or muscle Glucose: monosaccharide, primary energy source for body cells
- 9. hormones released by the hypothalamus that stimulate secretion of hormones by the anterior pituitary gland
- 14. a hormone secreted by the thyroid gland that increases energy production & protein synthesis
- 15. a stressful situation
- 16. a high blood glucose level
- 21. having the same effects as sympathetic impulses, as has epinephrine (hormone of adrenal medulla)
- 22. a hormone secreted by anterior pituitary gland that increases the rate of cell division & protein synthesis
- 24. the organ (tissue) in which a hormone exerts its specific effects
- 29. a series of chemical reactions initiated by a decrease in blood pressure that stimulates the kidneys to secrete the enzyme rennin; culminates in the formation of angiotensin lI
- 32. cells of islets of langerhans of the pancreas that secrete the hormone insuluin
- 33. excessive growth of the body or its parts; result of hypersecretion of growth hormone in childhood
- 34. locally acting hormone-like substance produced by virtually all cells from the phospholipids of their cell membrane (have varied functions)
- 35. hyposecretion of thyroxine in an infant, uncorrected, result is severe mental & physical retardation
- 36. cells of islets of langerhans of the pancreas that secrete the hormone glucagon
Down
- 1. hypersecretion of the glucocorticoids of the adrenal cortex, characterized by fragility of skin, poor wound healing, truncal fat deposition, & thin extremities
- 4. the conversion of excess amino acids
- 5. Dwarfism: the condition of being abnormally small, caused by deficiency of growth hormone
- 6. a control system in which a stimulus initiates a response that reverses or reduces the stimulus, thereby stopping the response until the stimulus occurs again
- 7. hypersecretion of thyroxine, believed to be autoimmune disease, symptoms reflect the metabolic
- 8. a high blood calcium level
- 10. a metabolic acidosis that results from the accumulation of ketones in the blood when fats & proteins are used for energy production
- 11. drowsiness, laziness, or indifferent
- 12. leteum the temporary endocrine gland formed from an ovarian follicle
- 13. a hormone secreted by the adrenal medulla that causes vasoconstriction throughout the body,
- 17. hyposecretion of insulin by the pancreas or the inability of insulin to exert its effects; characterized by hyperglycemia, increased urinary output w/ glycosuria & thirst
- 18. a decrease in secretion of hormones, or low amounts secreted Hypersecretion: an increase in secretion of hormones, or high amounts secreted
- 19. hypersecretion of growth hormone in adult, resulting in excessive growth of bones of the face, hands, & feet
- 20. the endocrine portions of the pancreas that secrete insulin & glucagonthe endocrine portions of the pancreas that secrete insulin & glucagon
- 23. the conversion of gluclose to glycogen to be stored as potential enegry
- 25. an enlargement of the thyroid gland, due to the lack of dietary iodine
- 26. epinephrine & norepinephrine
- 27. a hormone secreted by adrenal medulla that stimulates many responses to enable the body to react
- 28. breakdown reaction, releases energy
- 30. all the reactions that take place win the body. Anabolism: synthesis reaction, coming together, requires energy.
- 31. hyposecretion of thyroxine in an adult, decreased metabolic rate results in physical & mental lethargy
