Endocrine Mix and Match

Match the hormone(s) to the gland that secretes it

Ovaries
Thyroid
Testes
Pineal
Parathyroid
Anterior Pituitary
Adrenal
Posterior Pituitary
Pancreas

Match hormone with its action

Estrogen
T3/T4
Testosterone
Melatonin
Glucagon
Parathyroid hormone (PTH)
Insulin
Aldosterone
Growth Hormone
Cortisol
prolactin
TSH
FSH
ACTH
oxytocin
LH
ADH

For each scenario, use y our cards to generate a pathway to respond to the stimulus. Include:
  • Name of gland(s)
  • hormone(s)
  • target organ
  • action

Calcium Levels in the blood are too low

A woman is in the beginning stages of labor

A man is running a marathon and is starting to get dehydrated

Necessary growth of the skeleton in a growing child

Maintaining an adult's metabolic rate

A person is dealing with the long-term stress of dealing with an aging parent

A person's blood sodium and blood pressure has decreased

Sperm and egg production

Sperm and egg production

A woman is breastfeeding

Dusk is approaching on a winter night and you are getting tired

You eat a candy bar and your blood gucose levels have risen too high

You haven't eaten in hours and your blood glucose levels are too low

Growth Hormone

targets muscle and bone to stimulate growth

Ovaries

Estrogen Progesterone

Pineal Gland

Melatonin

Luteinizing Hormone

Triggers ovulation in ovaries Promotes testosterone production in testes

Anterior Pituitary

Growth Hormone TSH ACTH LH Prolactin FSH

Testes

Testosterone

Oxytocin

causes uterine contractions during childbirth causes milk ejection when breastfeeding

Insulin

Targets all cells; decreases blood glucose

Pancreas

Glucagon Insulin

Thyroid Gland

T3 T4 Calcitonin

Melatonin

regulates sleep cycles

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)

stimulates kidneys to reabsorb water

Scenario: A man is running a marathon and is starting to get dehydrated
Hypothalamus
CRH
Anterior Pituitary
ACTH
adrenals
cortisol
liver (increase blood glucose to resist stress)

Parathyroid Gland

Parathyroid Hormone (PTH)

Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)

Stimulates egg production in ovaries and sperm production in testes

Posterior Pituitary

Oxytocin ADH

Parathyroid Hormone (PTH)

increases blood calcium; targets bone

Prolactin

breastmilk production

T3/T4

increases metabolism; targets all cells

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)

Targets thyroid to cause it to release T3/T4

Aldosterone

regulates salt/water balance (increases salt in blood which increases water in blood)

Estrogen & progesterone

Maturation of female reproductive organs and breast development. Thickens uterine lining & keeps it thick during pregnancy

Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)

Targets adrenal glands to release cortisol

Cortisol

helps you manage stress by increasing glucose production

Testosterone

sperm production Secondary sex characteristics of males - deepening voice, facial hair, muscle development

Adrenal Gland

Aldosterone Cortisol Androgens Epinephrine

Glucagon

targets liver; increases blood glucose
