Test #2

1. How do the nervous and endocrine systems work together?- The endocrine system and nervous system work together by making sure all

the cells in the body are working correctly. If either systems sees a problem, then a message will be sent out so the cell can be fixed

2. What is the method in which the endocrine system undergoes its functions?-

Hormones

3. Classify by functions-4. Classify by structure-

describe Steroid Hormones-The term steroid describes both hormones produced by the body and artificially produced medications that duplicate the action for the naturally occurring steroids.

Test #3

Please answer the questions following the passage:

Placenta- It is another important reproductive tissue in the uterus. It produces the hormone (hCG) human Chronic Gonadotropin. It produces a lot of hCG when the female is pregnant and this is how pregnancy tests work. It tells the uterine lining to maintain it self and not fall away.

Thymus- it is a gland in the mediastinum beneath the sternum. It is large in children until puberty. The hormones thymosin and thymopoietin have been isolated from the thymus tissue and are considered to be the cause of the endocrine activity. It has a critical role in the immune system because it helps the T-Cells.

Gastric and intestinal mucosa – this is in the mucous lining in the gastrointestinal tract (GI), like the pancreas. GI contains the hormones such as gastrin, secretin, cholecystokinin-pancreozymin and others that have important roles in the digestive tract. The hormone ghrelin is secreted by the gastric mucosa. This hormone tells the hypothalamus to boost appetite. It also helps slow metabolism and reduce fat burning.

Heart – The heart has a secondary endocrine role. One wall contains hormone producing cells. They produce atrial natriuretic which is a hormone. They hormone secretes when it has a low blood pressure and loss of sodium.

1. Where is the Thymus located? A. The pancreas B. The BrainC. The MediastinumD. The Uterus

2. The placenta secretes what hormone?A. GastrinB. Atrial NatriureticC. Cholecystokinin-PancreozyminD. Human Chronic Gonadotropin

3. What secretes a hormone when there is low blood pressure? A. The HeartB. The PlacentaC. Human Chronic GonadotropinD. Gastrin

4. Which hormone helps control appetite? A. GhrelinB. Atrial NatriureticC. Cholecystokinin-PancreozyminD. Thymosin

5. What is isolated from the Thymus? A. GhrelinB. ThymosinC. GastrinD. Secretin
