Which gland rests in a bony depression of the sphenoid bone at the base of the brain?
A small gland near the roof of the third ventricle secretes melatonin. Which gland is it?
Which endocrine gland is butterfly-shaped and lies across the anterior trachea just inferior to the larynx?
Four tiny endocrine glands are usually embedded on the posterior surface of the thyroid. Which glands are they?
Which paired endocrine glands sit on the superior poles of the kidneys?
Which pancreatic tissue releases hormones into nearby capillaries instead of into ducts?
Which gland lies in the superior mediastinum behind the sternum and is proportionally larger in children?
Which brain region controls the pituitary and links nervous system signals to endocrine responses?
A sweat gland releases fluid through a duct onto the skin surface. What type of gland is it?
A gland cell releases a hormone directly into interstitial fluid and then blood. What type of gland does this describe?
Which anterior pituitary hormone stimulates the thyroid gland to release thyroxine?
Which anterior pituitary hormone stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete cortisol?
Which anterior pituitary hormone promotes body growth by acting on bones, muscles, and the liver?
Which posterior pituitary hormone causes kidney collecting ducts to reabsorb more water?
Which posterior pituitary hormone strengthens uterine contractions during labor and helps milk let-down?
Which anterior pituitary hormone stimulates ovarian follicle development and sperm production?
Which anterior pituitary hormone triggers ovulation and stimulates testosterone secretion?
Which thyroid hormone raises the metabolic rate of many body cells?
Insulin lowers blood glucose by helping body cells take it up. Which cells of the pancreatic islets secrete insulin?
Glucagon raises blood glucose between meals by stimulating liver glycogen breakdown. Which cells of the pancreatic islets secrete glucagon?
Which adrenal cortex hormone helps kidneys retain sodium and water while excreting potassium?
Which adrenal medulla hormone prepares target organs for fight-or-flight responses?
Blood glucose rises after a meal. Which pancreatic hormone should increase to move glucose into cells and storage?
Blood glucose falls during fasting. Which hormone should increase to signal the liver to release glucose?
Blood calcium drops below its set point. Which hormone rises to increase calcium release from bone and reabsorption by kidneys?
Blood calcium rises above its set point. Which hormone is secreted to help deposit calcium in bone?
Thyroxine levels become high in the blood. What happens to TSH release from the anterior pituitary?
A steroid hormone diffuses through a target cell's plasma membrane. Where does it usually bind its receptor?
A water-soluble peptide hormone cannot cross the lipid bilayer. What does it usually use to change target cell activity?
Cortisol is above its set point and reaches the anterior pituitary. What happens to ACTH secretion?
A child has very low secretion of one anterior pituitary hormone before puberty and remains much shorter than expected. Which hormone is deficient?
An adult's hands, feet, and jaw enlarge after epiphyseal plates have closed. Which hormone is in excess?
A patient has weight loss, heat intolerance, a fast heartbeat, and a high metabolic rate. Which hormone is in excess?
A patient has fatigue, cold intolerance, weight gain, and a low metabolic rate. Which hormone is deficient?
An enlarged thyroid creates visible swelling in the front of the neck. What disorder name matches this finding?
An autoimmune loss of pancreatic beta cells causes little or no insulin production and high blood glucose. Which disorder fits?
Body cells respond poorly to insulin even though the pancreas may still secrete it. Which disorder matches this problem?
Long-term excess of one adrenal cortex hormone causes high blood glucose, thin skin, easy bruising, and truncal fat. Which hormone is high?
Too little of one adrenal cortex hormone reduces sodium retention, lowers blood volume, and can lower blood pressure. Which hormone is deficient?
A posterior pituitary hormone is deficient, so the kidneys excrete large volumes of dilute urine. Which hormone is deficient?
