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
Adrenocorticotropic
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 hypersecretion of hGH in
adulthood
Acromegaly
Condition caused
by the hyposecretion of insulin
(usually diagnosed
in childhood)
Type 1 Diabetes
The name of the
tallest man in
modern day that
had a brain tumor
causing hypersecretion 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 islets of Langerhans are the region of the
pancreas that contain its endocrine cells. Can
you remember what hormones are produced
here?
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
Epinephrine and norepinephrine are produced
in the adrenal medulla, but this is the inner
portion of the adrenal gland. The outer
portion is called the cortex.
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
ADH is produced in the posterior
pituitary
Make your wager
What type of hormone is the
above diagram representing?
Give an example
Water soluble or
protein hormones.
Most hormones are
of this type, so
answers will vary
