Identify the hormone/s responsible for the following functions.
1. Source of hormone necessary for T-lymphocyte maturation.
2. Most important hormone regulating the amount of blood Ca: increases level of Ca in the bloodstream.
3. Affected in diabetes type I.
4. Helps to protect the body during long-term stressful situations (extended illness and surgery).
5. Short-term stress hormone; aids in flight-fight response.
6. Increases blood pressure and heart rate.
7. Necessary if glucose is to be taken up by body cells (ex: skeletal muscle).
8. Released when Ca levels drop.
9. Is produced in the alpha cells of pancreas.
10. Lack of this hormone causes weight gain.
11. Released when levels of Na in the blood drop.
12. Is produced in the beta cells of pancreas.
13. Hyperproduction causes Cushing’s.
14. Produces a hormone reducing Ca levels in the bloodstream.
15. Acts antagonistically to insulin; produced by the same endocrine organ.
16. Produced by interstitial cells.
17. Adrenal cortex hormone involved in regulating salt levels of body fluids.
18. Responsible for secondary sex characteristics (multiple answers).
19. Largest during childhood.
20. Source of sex hormones (multiple answers).
21. Needs iodine to be produced.
22. Hormones that increase the level of glucose in the bloodstream (multiple answers).
23. Lack of this hormone will make you lethargic.
24. Source of corticoids (mineralo, gluco, gonado).
25. Produced by the thickest layer of the adrenal cortex.
26. Increase breakdown of proteins and fat (multiple answers).
27. Hyperproduction of this hormone causes exophthalmos.
28. Its lack produces three Ps as symptoms: polyuria, polyphagia, and polydipsia.
29. Its production is stimulated by angiotensin II.
30. Largest pure endocrine gland.
31. Basal metabolic hormone.
