Hello and welcome to another wonderful quiz on the inner workings of the human body, where today we’ll be taking a look at the endocrine system – the system in the body whereby hormones are secreted into the circulatory system and used to regulate the function of certain organs. .
Secretes releasing hormones
Controls the secretion of the anterior pituitary gland
Secretes ACTH, TSH, and gonadotropins
Synthesizes oxytocin and ADH
Secreted by the thyroid gland.
Secreted by the parathyroid glands.
Secreted in response to declining plasma levels of calcium.
Steroids.
Are secreted by the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans.
Elevate blood glucose.
Are secreted in response to declining plasma levels of glucose.
Are secreted by the pancreas and are concerned with the regulation of blood glucose.
