Hormone (TSH)

Thyroid Gland

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)

Kidneys

Human Growth Hormone (hGH)

All Cells of the Body

Glucagon

Liver

Calcitonin (name 2 out of 3)

Kidney, bones, and Intestines

Decreases blood glucose levels (liver

converts glucose to glycogen and cells

become permeable to glucose)

Insulin

Increases heart rate, breathing rate and cell metabolism in response to stress

Epinephrine

Increases metabolism and regulates growth (contains iodine)

Thyroxine (T4) – Triiodothyronine

(T3)

Increases blood calcium levels

Parathyroid Hormone (PTH)

Targets the adrenal cortex to secrete

mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids

Adreno-corticotropic

Hormone (ACTH)

What do we call two hormones that play

opposite functions in order to maintain

homeostasis

Antagonistic hormones

Responds to osmoreceptors that detect high blood concentration and low blood presure

Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)

The type of feedback system that works to move away from a steady state and is designed to resist

change

Positive Feedback

Antagonistic hormones

responsible for maintaining blood

sugar levels

Insulin and glucagon

Antagonistic hormones

responsible for maintaining calcium

levels in the blood

Parathyroid hormone and

calcitonin

The term for a hormone that acts on an endocrine gland to release another

hormone

Tropic hormone

A condition caused by the hyper-

secretion of hGH in adulthood

Acromegaly

Condition caused by the hypo-

secretion of insulin (usually diagnosed

in childhood)

Type 1 Diabetes

The name of the tallest man in

modern day that had a brain tumor

causing hyper-secretion of hGH

Robert Wadlow

A hormone other than ADH that responds to the

body’s need for the reabsorption of

water

Aldosterone

The islets of Langerhans are

tiny islands off the coast of Ireland

The use of anabolic steroids may reduce the size of testis in

men

True fact

The adrenal medulla is the outside of the adrenal gland and

produces epinephrine

In long term stress responses, proteins and fats are broken

down and blood glucose is increased

True fact

Diabetes insipidus is caused by the

failure of the anterior pituitary to

secrete enough ADH

Make your wager

Give an example

Water soluble or protein hormones. Most hormones are

of this type, so answers will vary
