___________________2.
THYMOSIN Programs T-lymphocyte
___________________3. Most important hormone regulating the amount of calcium circulating in the
PTH
blood, released when blood calcium levels drop
___________________4.
CORTISOL Helps to protect the body during long-term stressful situations such as
extended illness and surgery
___________________5.
EPINEPHRINE Short term stress hormone, aids in the fight-or-flight response, increases
blood pressure, heart rate, for example
