Low levels of this hormone may result in weakness, muscle aching, and stiffness.

Functions include temperature regulation, control the body weight, drive to eat and drink, emotions.

Distinguishing features of this condition include diffuse thyroid enlargement, ophthalmopathy (double vision and sensitivity to light), exophthalmos (excessive prominence of the eyes), pretibial myxedema (thickening, redness, and puckering of skin in the front of the tibia), atrial fibrillation, fine hand tremors, and weakness of the quadriceps muscle.

This hormone increases synthesis and release of glucose from the liver into the body fluids.

Hormone that increases renal sodium reabsorption, potassium secretion, and hydrogen ion secretion; increase water and electrolyte reabsorption.

Growth Hormone is measured by radioimmunoassay (RIA); what is the normal serum level of GH in males?

This gland was called the “master” endocrine gland because it secretes several hormones that control other endocrine glands.

The exocrine acini of the pancreas consist of 1–2 million tiny clusters of endocrine tissue called __________

Identify the structure highlighted.

The catecholamines secreted by the adrenal medulla is produced by what type of cells?

This hormone controls serum calcium ion concentration by increasing calcium absorption by the gut and kidneys and releasing calcium from bones.

This organ lies superior to each kidney in the retroperitoneal space.

What hormone increases bone resorption by osteoclasts?

Stimulates contraction of smooth muscle cells of uterus during childbirth

Promotes deposition of calcium in the bones and decreases extracellular fluid calcium ion concentration

What is the normal testosterone level for females?
