Located behind the stomach

Secreted by the adrenal medulla; increase heart rate and blood pressure

Constricts vessels to raise blood pressure

Region of the brain lying below the thalamus and above the pituitary gland

Outer section of each adrenal gland; secretes cortisol, aldosterone, and sex hormones

Male hormone secreted by the testes and adrenal cortex (to a lesser extent)

Causes calcium to mobilize from bones into the bloodstream

Pertaining to mimicking or copying the effect of the sympathetic nervous system

Located in the neck of either side of the trachea

Secreted by alpha islet cells of pancreas; increases blood sugar

This regulates electrolytes

Hormones produced by the adrenal cortex

Inner section of each adrenal gland; secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine

Secreted by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland; stimulates contractions of uterus during labor and childbirth

Stores and releases hormones synthesized in the hypothalamus

Cells of an organ that are affected or stimulated by specific hormones

Located at the base of the brain in the sella turcica

Secreted by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland; antidiuretic hormone (ADH); raises water reabsorption and raises blood pressure

This aid cells in their uptake of oxygen and regulate metabolic rate

Hormones derived from an amino acid and secreted by the adrenal medulla
