Hormones
This hormone is regulated by positive feedback and targets the mammary glands and uterine muscles.
Oxytocin
This neural structure receives impulses from other neurons.
Dendrites
This part of the brain connects the two hemispheres of the cerebrum.
Corpus callosum
The reason why you don't feel your clothing after wearing it for awhile.
Sensory adaptation.
The tropic hormone that stimulates the release of cortisol and aldosterone.
ACTH
These two hormones that regulate blood sugar are classified as an antagonistic pair.
Insulin & Glucagon
This membrane protein requires active transport to move ions against their concentration gradient.
Na+/K+ Pump
Brain damage to this lobe of the cerebrum is most likely to result in change of personality.
The type of photoreceptors that are heavily concentrated in the fovea centralis.
Cones
The type of pancreatic cells that produce the hormone glucagon
Alpha Islet Cells
Goitres are the result of an endocrine disorder that involves the hyposecretion of this hormone.
Thyroxine
This type of neuron receives information from the external environment.
Sensory Neuron
This part of the brain receives sensory information first received by the semicircular canals.
In this vision condition, individuals cannot focus on objects that are near because their lens focuses the image behind the retina, as it cannot become oval enough.
Hyperopia
The lobe of the cerebrum responsible for interpretation of visual information.
Occipital lobe
This hormone from the anterior pituitary gland is non-specific and increases the rate of protein synthesis and cellular division in cells.
hGH
These cells provide structural support and nutrients for neurons.
Glial Cells
The part of the brain that regulates heart rate and breathing rate.
Medulla Oblongata
This ear structure equalizes pressure between the external environment and the inner ear.
Eustachian Tube
The area of the brain that allows for concentration on specific stimuli.
Midbrain
This antagonistic pair regulates the level of blood calcium.
Calcitonin & PTH
The thin membrane that covers some neuron axons and promotes regeneration.
Neurilemma
The part of the brain that serves as the main connection between the nervous and endocrine systems.
Hypothalamus
This type of sensory receptor is responsible for our sense of smell and taste.
Chemoreceptors
The name for the simple pathway that allows for a response to the external environment without brain coordination.
