RECEPTORS
1. Hormones act at specific target organs because these organs contain _____________________
specific for the hormones. anterior pituitary
2. Growth hormone, secreted by the ____________ _________________ gland, stimulates growth somatomedins of bones and muscle by activating intermediary proteins called ________________________.
PEPTIDE
3. _______________________ (hormone) from the anterior pituitary stimulates secretion of pituitary posterior cortisol from the ________________ ___________________ (gland). The anterior pituitary consists
glandular of __________________________ tissue. thyroid gland calcitonin 4. The parafollicular or C cells, of the _____________________ gland produce ________________,
a peptide hormone that lowers plasma calcium levels. glocagon 5. Hormones secreted by the pancreatic islets of the pancreas include ____________________
insulin from the α cells and ________________________ from the β cells. Which of these hormones raises
blood glucose levels? natriuretic peptides
6. Specialized muscle cells in the atria of the heart produce ____________________ (hormone),
NA+, water which increases excretion of __________________ (electrolyte) by the kidneys.
PTH
7. ________________________ (hormone) promotes the final conversion of vitamin D to calcitonin _______________________ in the kidney.
gastrin
8. _______________________ (hormone) produced by G cells in the pyloric antrum stimulates
HCL
_____________________ secretion in the stomach.
CRH
9. One ventral hypothalamic hormone (_______________________) is essential for the stress dopamine response and another (__________________________) inhibits release of prolactin. follicle stimulating
10. ________________________ (hormone) is a stimulus for sperm production in the male and
maturation of ovarian follicles in the female. melatonin 11.
