- 19. This acts as a sensory camera to determine movement
- 20. if earth was a brain, this would be the core of it and can also regenerate itself
- 23. To keep this at a normal level, fats need to break down to fatty acids
- 24. begins with ovarian stem cells
- 25. This type of feedback causes an increase in uterine contractions and causes a baby
- 26. If a furnace is turned on and warms up a house, this type of feedback would make the house cool down and go to its desired temperature
- 28. This is used as a type of maneuver to move nutrients out of concentrated urine
- 29. Is a parent of twin daughters
- 32. This type of neuron transmits the touch message
- 33. If foreign spoken people were the brain, this neuron would act as a translator to determine the response
- 37. If mail was a digestive enzyme, this would secrete the mail to the address given, but the address is the small intestine
- 38. If someone taps you on the shoulder, this neuron determines the response
- 39. if this hormone was a bee, the bee lands onto the surface of the flower to reach their target (pollen), but the flower is a receptor protein
- 40. If blood calcium levels were criminals, this would act as a police officer to arrest them and keep them off the streets, except the streets is the thyroid gland and the handcuffs are osteoblasts

- 4. Is a parent of four daughters
- 6. Without this 3 letter hormone, our bones and teeth would look unhealthy

- 31. This cell acts as glue to hold neurons in place
- 34. This makes males have certain characteristics (facial/pubic hair growth)
