Endocrine System

3. secreting externally via a duct
5. hormones that cause chemical changes in other body cells
6. movement of glucose across the plasma membrane
8. a tissue that is affected by a specific hormone
11. metabolic pathway which results in the generation of glucose
13. second messenger used for intracellular signal transduction
14. a liver cell
17. chemical compounds which have physiological roles in the endocrine system
20. of langerhans pancreatic cells that sense blood sugar levels and release insulin to maintain normal levels
23. enzyme catalyzes the formation of cyclic AMP from ATP
24. hormone produced by beat cells, regulates metabolism of carbohydrates

1. chemical messengers
2. hormone that triggers a biochemical reaction at a site removed from its release
4. a molecule which responds specifically to a particular neurotransmitter/substance
5. intracellular signalling molecules released by the cell to trigger physiological changes
7. cells in the pancreas repsonsible for synthesizing and secreting glucagon
9. the breakdown of glycogen to glucose
10. cells cells in the pancreas which produce/store/release insulin
11. the process of glycogen synthesis
12. collection of glands secrete hormones into bloodstream
15. cell a cell which has a specific receptor for an antigen/antibody/hormone/drug
16. secretes noradrenaline and adrenaline
18. feedback a process which ensures changes are reversed and returned back to the set level
19. a polysccaharide thats serves as a form of energy storage in animals and fungi
21. hormone produced by alpha cells of the pancreas, raises conc of glucose in bloodstream
22. hormone/neurotransmitter produced in high stress situations
