Gland in the brain that is the control center for all regulatory activities of the body:

hypothalamus

Condition in which levels of thyroid hormones in the blood are very low:

hypothyroidism

Helps regulate when you sleep at night and when you wake in the morning:

melatonin

Master gland, make hormones that control several other endocrine glands

pituitary

Hormone that reproductive glands produce for females:

estrogen

Two hormones produced by the pancreas are glucagon and

insulin

Gland produces hormones that control the rate at which cells produce energy:

thyroid

4 tiny glands that function together that release hormones that regulates calcium levels:

parathyroid

General name given to hormones banned in most sports organizations:

steroids

The inner part of the adrenal gland:

medulla

Hormone that reproductive glands produce for males:

testosterone

Gland that produces melatonin:

pineal body

Causes milk release in nursing mothers and contractions during childbirth:

oxytocin

Increases blood pressure and heart rate when the body experiences stress:

epinephrine

Helps regulate calcium in the bones:

calcitonin

Adrenal glands are located above this major organ:

kidneys

Disease caused by a failure of the body to produce insulin:

diabetes mellitus

Produced in the adrenal cortex, keeps blood glucose levels stable:

cortisol

Contains cells called the Islets of Langerhans:

endocrine

Collection of glands that secrete chemicals that maintain homeoastasis:

endocrine

Hormone causes intestines to absorb calcium and kidneys to conserve calcium
