What does LH stand for?
Luteinizing hormone
What is the main function of the thymus?
Immune response
What stimulates the pancreas to produce insulin an glucagon?

Name all the glands located in the lower brain.
The pituitary gland and hypothalamus
Where is inhibit-B found in the body?
In the testes
Insulin causes what in the body?
A drop in blood sugar.
If the stimuli’s is temperature and someone is in the snow wearing flip-flops, a tank top, and shorts is this a stimuli’s increase or decrease?

Give a example of something that is affected by the endocrine system

These two glands are responsible for human development.
The ovaries and testes
What hormones can be found in the thyroid?
T3/T4 and calcitonin
What is the main function of the hormone Melatonin in the Pineal gland?
Sleep regulation
If a organ produces calcitonin, what is the organ, stimuli’s and is it a stimulis increase or decrease?
Organ: Thyroid
Stimulis: Calcium
Stimuli’s increase
give a example where the nervous system is in effect vs the endocrine system.
nervous: reflexes, movement of/in the body, etc.
Endocrine: puberty, regulation in the body, reproductive, etc.
What gland is located on top of the kidneys And produces adrenaline and norepinephrin?
The adrenal gland
Name all the hormones produced by the testes.

What is the difference in the functions of the hormones estrogen and progesterone?
Estrogen is released during the development of the female body and used to regulate.
Progesterone is mainly used during pregnancy to stimulate growth within the fetus and mothers body.
Describe the process in which sugar positively stimulates the pituitary.
N/A sugar doesn’t stimulate the pituitary gland but the pancreas.
Name all the differences between the endocrine and nervous system.
Nervous system: uses electrical impulses, is short lived, and signals are sent fast
Endocrine system: uses hormones to send signals, lasts long, and are slow to respond
Name all the endocrine glands in the body.
The pituitary gland, hypothalamus, thyroid, thymus, pancreas, adrenal gland, testes, ovaries, parathyroid gland, and pineal gland.
Which hormone would be released if you are in a desert without water?
ADH
Describe the function of the parathyroid gland, and give the hormone it produces as well as its location in the body.
Function: Increases calcium levels
Hormone: PTH or parathyroid hormone
Location: found within the thyroid
Describe the process in which calcium is a stimulis decrease the thyroid.
The calcium levels in the blood drops, the body produces glucagon to extract calcium from the liver
