26. The target organ of oxytocin.
27. The target organ of gonadotropic hormone.
28. The hormone secreted in the bones.
29. The hormone secreted by the adrenal cortex.
30. The target organ of thyroid-stimulating hormone (ACTH).
31. The target organ of antidiuretic hormone (ADH).
32. The hormones secreted in mammary gland.
33. The hormones secreted in the uterus smooth muscle and mammary gland.
34. The hormones secreted in the testis and ovary.
35. Is one of the main functions of the hormones secreted by the thyroid, parathyroid, pancreas,
and adrenal glands.
36. It is located at the base of the neck, with its two lobes flanking the trachea.
37. It secretes two hormones that increase the total chemical reactions in the cells.
38. The chemical reactions in the thyroid glands.
39. The active form of thyroid hormone.
40. It binds its receptors to form a complex molecule.
41. It lowers blood calcium levels under certain conditions.
42. This is the effect of underactive thyroid gland that decreases metabolic rate.
43. It is a condition characterized by physical and mental retardation.
44. Severe hypothyroidism may lead to __________, a life threatening condition.
45. Is an abnormal enlargement of the thyroid gland due to iodine deficiency.
46. Is the most common cause of hypothyroidism.
47. Hypothyroidism can be treated using ____________, which destroys thyroid cells to stop the
production of thyroid hormones.
48. This is often administered to counteract hypothyroidism, a possible side effect of the
treatments.
49. At the back of the thyroid gland are four small glands called ___________.
50. It also enhance calcium absorption in the digestive tube and kidneys but inhibit the kidneys from
reabsorbing phosphate.
51. It is needed in muscle contraction, blood clotting, and other activities.
52. Are situated above the kidneys.
53. It is at the inner part of the gland.
54. It is at the outer part of the gland.
55. The adrenal medulla secretes __________ and __________ also known as _______ and ______.
56. These hormones help the body respond to and survive emergencies by increasing heart rate and
blood sugar level and enhancing breathing and blood flow to skeletal muscles.
57. It is often regarded as the “emergency hormone”, because it is released when a person feels
endangered or excited.
58. The adrenal cortex secretes three types of hormones namely :

59. They function together in times of prolonged stress, mobilizing energy reserves.
60. Is an important glucocorticoid, and is also known as the _________, so it helps the body respond
to stress.
61. Is a major mineralocorticoid that regulates salt and water in the body.
62. Also secretes a small amount of both female and male hormones but produced more male sex
hormones than female sex hormones.
63. Are important for post-menopausal women, whose ovarian function declines.
64. It is located between the spleen and the small intestine.
65. It is a versatile gland in that produces digestive enzymes and hormones.
66. Produces digestive enzymes such as pancreatic amylase.
67. Is a hormone that is also produced by other tissues. It is produced by the delta cells. It inhibits
the secretion of other hormones.
68. It controls the body functions in response to daylight and seasonal changes; affects the skin
pigmentation.
69. Elevates calcium levels in the blood by releasing calcium from bones; increases calcium
absorption in the digestive tract and kidneys.
70. Speeds up metabolism and regulates the growth and development of the cells.
71. Increases the rate of calcium deposition in the bone.
72. Stimulates T-cell development and proper immune response during childhood.
73. It decreases blood glucose cells.
74. It increases blood glucose levels.
75. Helps regulate blood circulation and carbohydrate metabolism; adrenaline is a “fight or flight”
hormone.
76. Necessary for the development of female secondary sex characteristics, including the
enlargement of breasts and hips and development of egg cells.
77. Prepares the uterus for the implantation of a fertilized egg.
78. Regulates the maturation of male reproductive organs; influences sperm production.
79. Promotes the development of male secondary sex characteristics.
