Part A For each of the following endocrine organs, name two hormones it secretes and their targets Include the cell type or part of the organ that secretes the hormone: (8 points) Adrenal Glands 2. Hypothalamus 3. Pituitary Gland Thyroid Gland Part B A couple take their newborn to the doctor; because she does not seem to be doing well. The doctor believes her endocrine system may not be functioning correctly: He runs some tests for Hormone A and says that the amount of Hormone A in her blood is decreased: Based off of your knowledge of how the endocrine signaling functions; describe what may be happening: (2 points)

Part 1 Questions 1) The parathyroid glands lie on the ________ surface of the thyroid gland. 2) The ability of target tissue to respond to a particular hormone depends on the presence of a specific ________ that will bind the hormone on or inside the target cell. 3) Changing levels of ions or nutrients in the blood are examples of ________ stimuli that cause changes in endocrine secretion. 4) Cells of the kidney produce the hormone ________, which stimulates red blood cell production. 5) Releasing and inhibiting hormones travel from the hypothalamus through a vascular ________ portal system to the anterior lobe of the pituitary. 6) The ________ hormone aldosterone is produced by the adrenal cortex to increase blood volume. 7) The ________ consists of four endocrine cell types: A, B, D, and PP. 8) The thymic hormones are structurally ________ molecules. 9) The release of PTH by the parathyroid glands is triggered by a ________ stimulus. 10) The endocrine cells of the pancreas are located within spherical bodies called ________. 11) ________ produces contraction of the smooth musculature of the uterus. 12) The three layers of the adrenal cortex, from external to internal, are the zona glomerulosa, zona fasciculata, and zona ________.
Match the description with the endocrine organ. A. Ovary: Produces the hormones that promote the development of the female secondary sexual characteristics at puberty. B. Pituitary: Storehouse for the hormones produced by the hypothalamus of the brain. C. Testis: Produces the hormones that direct the production of the secondary male sex characteristics. D. Adrenal Glands: Produce hormones involved in electrolyte balance and the stress response. E. Hypothalamus: Produces hormones involved in electrolyte balance and the stress response. F. Thyroid Gland: Produces hormones and considered a neuroendocrine organ. G. Parathyroid: Produces hormones involved in electrolyte balance and the stress response.
