"Are you communicating with me?!" - Beverly Hills Ninja
In this form of cell communication, cells release hormones that travel via the circulatory system to their target cells
Endocrine
Gives *one* of the many nicknames for Oxytocin that we covered
Cuddle drug/chemical/hormone
Love drug/chemical/hormone
Which hormone is involved in the positive-feedback mechanism of childbirth?
Oxytocin
DNA in the Nucleus that's loose and Uncondensed
Chromatin
How many Chromosomes do humans typically have total?
46
In _______ signaling, a specific cell secretes a signaling molecule that does not affect itself, but instead influences the behavior of target cells in close proximity.
Paracrine
A _______ is a specialized organ that produces and releases hormones
Gland
With gestational diabetes, there are hormones that have a blocking effect on insulin. Where are these hormones produced in the body?
Placenta
The stage where chromosomes position themselves along the equator of the cell
Metaphase
What word means 1 set of chromosomes?
Haploid
This type of signaling occurs when one cell has a membrane-bound signaling molecule that is recognized by a receptor on the surface of another.
Juxtacrine
The ______ is known as the "Master Gland" and releases the hormone called ________________ (Need the full name).
Pituitary Gland
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone
Glucagon would have which effect on the following 3 parts:
A) Uptake is - Increased or decreased?
B) glycogenolysis activity - Upregulated or downregulated?
C) Gluconeogenesis activity - Upregulated or downregulated?
A) Decreased
B) Upregulated
C) Upregulated

Quorum Sensing
1) What are the two regions of the pituitary gland called.
2) Next to each name, write where it is located relative to the other region
1) Anterior pituitary (Front)
2) Posterior pituitary (Back)
Oxytocin is produced in the ______(Question 1)
and it's stimulated to be produced by what kind of signal? (Question 2)
Hypothalamus
Neuron/Nerve/Electrical
When chromosomes or chromatids fail to separate it is called ___________
Nondisjunction
Human liver cells are capable of exhibiting polyploidy(More than two sets). We're born with our Liver Cells being diploid. In adults, ~40% of liver cells are polyploid by failing to go through Cytokinesis - which maintains that DNA in a single nucleus. This adds protection against DNA damage. After 1 failure of Cytokinesis, a cell at the end of the cell cycle would be __n (The answer is a #).
