  21. Multiple Choice • Insulin is secreted in response to _________ levels of serum glucose. • A. low • B. absent • C. elevated

  22. Multiple Response • Ovaries, at puberty, produce estrogen and progesterone. Estrogen is responsible for: • A. the development of secondary sexual characteristics in the female • B. deepening of voice • C. maturation of reproductive organs in the female • D. development of muscle mass

  23. Fill - In • _____________ is a “temporary” endocrine gland.

  24. Multiple Response • At puberty, the testes produce testosterone which is responsible for _________ in the male: • A. Development of secondary sexual characteristics • B. maturation of reproductive organs • C. sperm formation • D. development of bone and muscle mass

  25. Multiple Choice • ___________, a hormone, programs information into T-lymphocytes in utero and infancy to carry out immune reactions to certain antigens. • A. Growth Hormone • B. Adrenocorticotrophic Hormone • C. Thymosin • D. Thyroid Stimulating Hormone

  26. Multiple Response • Located on the roof of the 3rd ventricle in the brain, the pineal gland secretes a substance called “melatonin”. Melatonin is responsible for which of the following: • A. inhibiting gonadotrophic hormones which inhibit reproductive activity until puberty • B. induces sleep • C. affects mood • D. relieves depression

  27. Other • Hormones can be harmful if unchecked. Unmanaged stress can be a leading contributor to stress-induced diseases and disorders. • List 3 stress-relieving methods

  28. Other • The main clinical conditions associated with aging of the endocrine system involve the pancreas and thyroid. • Name 1 condition of each
