🩵 Guess the Hormone
I lower blood glucose after a meal.
Insulin
I produce T3 and T4.
Thyroid gland
My blood glucose is high because my body doesn't have enough insulin.
Diabetes mellitus (I'd accept Type 1 DM)
I’m known as the “stress hormone.
Cortisol
I sit right on top of your kidneys.
Adrenal glands
I occur when there isn't enough thyroid hormone.
Hypothyroidism
I help your kidneys conserve water when you're dehydrated.
ADH (vasopressin)
I produce insulin AND glucagon.
Pancreas
Too much cortisol gives you this syndrome.
Cushing syndrome
I cause uterine contractions and milk let-down.
Oxytocin
I'm known as the “master gland.”
Pituitary gland
Too much growth hormone in an adult causes me.
Acromegaly
I increase blood calcium and decrease phosphate.
PTH
I'm actually four tiny glands located behind the thyroid.
Parathyroid glands
Too little ADH causes lots of dilute urine and extreme thirst.
