- 7. decrease of sodium and chlorine in the blood
- 8. decrease in blood calcium
- 10. mellites, condition that causes high blood glucose levels
- 12. a chemical change in the body that regulates growth and regulates sexual production and development and also metabolizes nutrients in cells
- 19. high blood glucose level
- 20. system, excretory system that rids the body of waste materials
- 22. corticosteroid administered by injection to determine pituitary problems
- 26. glucose, blood sugar or insulin produced by the pancreas
- 27. chemical that is released by the nervous system in times of stress to create a response in an animal’s fight or flight instinct reaction
- 29. low blood glucose level
- 31. the heat cycle that releases hormones for reproduction
- 32. hair loss
- 34. (ADH) hormone that promotes urine formation and water absorption and controls blood pressure and changes control in water content
- 36. length of pregnancy
- 37. (GnRH) hormone produced and released to maintain a normal estrus cycle
Down
- 1. chemical reactions that change within the body and create and release hormones
- 2. decreased production of steroids within the adrenal glands if the glands fail to function; also called Addison’s disease
- 3. condition that increases the thyroxine hormone production from the thyroid gland and common in cats
- 5. follicle stimulating hormone estrus hormone that allows for sperm production and regulates the female estrus cycle and forms the follicle during the breeding process and produces estrogen
- 9. luteum, (CL) known as the yellow body and forms during the gestation period of a female to maintain pregnancy
- 11. gland, located cranial to the kidneys and produces and releases adrenaline and other hormones
- 13. short-acting chemical released during the fight or flight response
- 14. inflammation of the skin
- 15. increased production problem within the adrenal gland that results in a pituitary gland tumor when the ACTH
- 16. a balance within the body
- 17. condition that decreases the thyroxine hormone production from the thyroid gland and common in dogs
- 18. a change in the body that affects growth and sexual reproduction and development
- 19. increased potassium in the blood
- 21. develops from brain tissue while an animal is in the embryo stage, and the gland serves as a reservoir for hormones and allows for the release and regulation of hormones
- 23. acid, simplest hormone that controls thyroid gland functions
- 24. to remove and rid the body of waste
- 25. acid controls hormones involved in estrus in the female animal’s heat cycle
- 28. adrenocorticotropic hormone released by the adrenal gland that controls blood pressure and cholesterol and regulates the body’s production of steroids.
- 30. opacity of the lens in the eye
- 33. insipidus, condition that affects the water content in the bloodstream and causes the urine to become dilute
- 35. female reproductive hormone that begins the estrus cycle
