Endocrine System Warm up:

I. Match the hormone with its structure, function, or gland that produces it.

a. thyroid hormone e. calcitonin

b. insulin f. glucagon
c. human chorionic gonadotropin g. cortisol
d. aldosterone h. parathyroid hormone

1. this calcium-regulating hormone is made in the thyroid gland E

2. this is the only important mineralocorticoid hormone in humans D
3. this hormone is produced by the alpha cells of the pancreas F
4. this hormone regulates metabolism rate, processes of cell growth, and tissue differentiation A
5. this hormone causes an increase in blood calcium levels H
6. this hormone lowers the concentration of glucose in the blood B
7. this hormone regulates how electrolytes are processed in the body D
8. this hormone decreases the concentration of calcium in the blood E
9. this hormone is made by a fetal tissue component of the placenta C
10. this hormone contains atoms of iodine A
11. this hormone is produced by beta cells of the pancreas B
12. this hormone is a chief glucocorticoid released by the adrenal gland G

II. Match the hormones with the descriptions.

a. antidiuretic hormone (ADH) d. luteinizing hormone (LH)
b. adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) e. oxytocin (OT)
c. follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)

1.stimulates the release of glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids B

2.stimulates testosterone production in males D
3.stimulates development of ovarian follicle C
4.causes water retention A
5.causes muscle contraction of the uterus E

III. Match the hormone with its structure, function, or gland that produces it.
a. thyroid hormone c. human chorionic d. aldosterone f. ab. glucagon
b. insulin gonadotropin e. calcitonin g. ac. cortisol

1. this calcium-regulating hormone is made in the thyroid gland and decreases the concentration of calcium in
the blood E
2. this is the only important mineralocorticoid hormone in humans and regulates how electrolytes are processed
in the body D
3. this hormone is produced by the alpha cells of the pancreas and increases blood glucose concentration F
4. this hormone regulates metabolism rate, processes of cell growth, and tissue differentiation and contains A
atoms of iodine
5. this hormone is a chief glucocorticoid released by the adrenal gland G

IV. Identify the disease with its appropriate description.

a. acromegaly c. Cushing’s syndrome e. goiter
b. Addison’s disease d. Graves’ disease f. ab. diabetes mellitus

1. hyposecrection of adrenal cortex B 4. hypersecretion of thyroid hormone D

2. associated with insulin production F 5. hypersecrection of growth hormone GH (adults) A
3. hypersecretion of ACTH (glucocorticoid hormone) C 6. lack of iodine absorption E
