1. Hormones act at specific target organs because these organs contain __________ specific for the hormones.

2. __________ (hormone) from the anterior pituitary stimulates secretion of cortisol from the ______ ________ (gland). The anterior pituitary consists of _________ tissue.

3. The zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex primarily produces the hormone ___________, which acts on the _________ (organ) to increase ___ (electrolyte) reabsorption.

4. _______ ________ (gland) is a modified sympathetic ganglion producing the amine hormones known as _______________. This category of amine hormones includes both __________ and ______________ (two hormones).

5. The ___________ (organ) produces a steroid hormone called __Calcitriol__________ in the interstitial cells and a peptide hormone called ___________ that inhibits FSH.

6. Large follicles in this gland (__________) contain a protein colloid called ______________ from which the hormones _______ and ______ are made. These hormones regulate many metabolic functions and are important for nervous system development and growth.

  1. 1. Hormones act at specific target organs because these organs contain < receptors >specific for the hormones.

    2. < Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACH) > (hormone) from the anterior pituitary stimulates secretion of cortisol from the < adrenal gland > (gland). The anterior pituitary consists of < glandular epithelial > tissue.

    3. The zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex primarily produces the hormone < aldosterone >, which acts on the < kidney >(organ) to increase < sodium > (electrolyte) reabsorption.

    4. < Adrenal medulla > (gland) is a modified sympathetic ganglion producing the amine hormones known as < catecholamines >. This category of amine hormones includes both < adrenaline (epinepherine) > and < noradrenaline (norepinepherine) > (two hormones).

    5. The < testes > (organ) produces a steroid hormone called

    < testosterone >in the interstitial cells and a peptide hormone called     < inhibin > that inhibits FSH.

    6. Large follicles in this gland ( < thyroid > ) contain a protein colloid called < thyroglobulin > from which the hormones < T3 > and < T4 > are made. These hormones regulate many metabolic functions and are important for nervous system development and growth.

    Hope this helps ;)


  2. 1. receptors

    i dont know the rest


  3. which level of bio is this?

    1) receptors/receptor sites

    2) ACTH (adrenocorticotrophic hormone) / corticotrophin, ...cortisol from the adrenal glands.

    3) cortisol, liver, glucose

    5)the peptide hormone - Oxytocin

    6) hypothalamus (i can only guess because of the last sentence describing it's functions)

    wish i could help!
