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.

5. 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.
