  3. Endocrine Regulation100 • These are chemical signals that communicate regulatory messages within the body. • What are hormones?

  4. Endocrine Regulation200 • This is a mechanism of response in which a rising hormone level negates the initiating change that triggers the release of the hormone. • What is negative feedback?

  5. Endocrine Regulation300 • This refers to a series of changes in cellular proteins that convert an extracellular chemical signal to a specific intracellular response. • What is signal transduction pathway?

  6. Endocrine Regulation400 • These are regulators that stimulate cell proliferation and differentiation. • What are growth factors?

  7. Endocrine Regulation 500 • This refers to protein and peptide local regulators that play a role in immune responses. • What are cytokines?

  8. Thyroid Gland100 • The thyroid is located near the ventral surface of this structure. • What is the trachea?

  9. Thyroid Gland200 • This inherited condition of thyroid deficiency results in retarded skeletal growth and poor mental development. • What is cretinism?

  10. Thyroid Gland300 • This is what causes goiter (enlargement of the thyroid). • What is a deficiency in iodine?

  11. Thyroid Gland400 • These structures of the brain control secretions of the thyroid. • What are the pituitary gland (anterior) and the hypothalamus?

  12. Thyroid Gland500 • This hormone, produced by the thyroid, is made of three iodine atoms. • What is Triiodothyronine?

  13. Pituitary Gland100 • This section of the pituitary gland grows downward towards the mouth during embryo development. • What is the posterior pituitary?

  14. Pituitary Gland200 • This section of the pituitary gland develops from tissue in embryonic mouth and grows up toward brain. • What is the anterior pituitary?

  15. Pituitary Gland300 • These are hormones that regulate and coordinate endocrine signaling in the body and the anterior pituitary . • What are tropic hormones?

  16. Pituitary Gland400 • This is another name for the tropic hormones FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone), which are secreted by the anterior pituitary. • What are gonadotropins?

  17. Pituitary Gland500 • This neurohormone induces the cells in the uterine muscles to contract during birth and causes the mammary glands to eject milk. Its production is an example of positive feedback. • What is oxytocin?

  18. Pancreas100 • The beta cells of the pancreas produce this hormone. • What is insulin?

  19. Pancreas200 • This best known of the endocrine disorders is caused by a deficiency of insulin or a decreased response to insulin target tissues. • What is diabetes mellitus?

  20. Pancreas300 • The alpha cells of the pancreas produce this hormone. • What is glucagon?

  21. Pancreas400 • These are clusters of endocrine cells in the pancreas. • What are the islets of Langerhans?

  22. Pancreas500 • This organ in the body takes up glucose and stores it as glycogen. • What is the liver?

  23. Miscellaneous100 • The adrenal medulla produces these two catecholamines. • What are epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline)?

  24. Miscellaneous200 • This is the primary androgen produced by the testes. • What is testosterone?

  25. Miscellaneous300 • This is the most common form of hyperthyroidism (excessive secretion of hormones) in humans. • What is Graves’ disease?

  26. Miscellaneous400 • The parathyroid glands produce calcitonin and parathyroid hormone, which regulate ions of this element in the blood. • What is calcium?

  27. Miscellaneous500 • The pineal gland secretes this hormone that regulates biorhythms. • What is melatonin?

  28. Final Jeopardy! • This is a form of cell signaling in which the target cell is near the signal-releasing cell. • What is paracrine (signaling)?
