3. Jewelry for 10
points…
This type of function is secreted by the
endocrine directly into the blood and also
contains a neurotransmitter that produces a
happy or excited response by a chemical
messenger when someone gives you
jewelry… (5 pg. 484-488)
5. Jewelry for 30…..
This type of mechanism helps to
explain how hormones work
when binding to receptor
molecules that “fit” and you
sometimes need this to put on a
bracelet or necklace.. (5)
7. Love letters for 40…
Hormones create these 3 things when they
combine and help to create a mixed
emotion response when your
girlfriend/boyfriend gives you love letters
on Valentine’s Day….
8. What is synergism, permissiveness, and
antagonism? Synergism which combines
hormones acting together that have a
greater effect than on cells acting alone.
Permissiveness, which allows a small
amount of hormones to have a second one
to produce full effects on the cells, and
antagonism which is when one hormone
combines to create the opposite effect of
another hormone used to “fine tune” of
the activity of a target cell. (5)
9. Flowers for 50…..
Your heart which pumps blood,
produces this hormone when your
blood pressure may be high or you are
excited you have just received rose and
tulips and all different types of flowers
from your significant other…
10. What is atrial natriuretic hormone where
atrial cells increase their secretion of ANH
in response to an increase in the stretch of
the atrial wall caused by abnormally high
blood volume or blood pressure? (5)
11. Stuff animals for 30…
Single or not on Valentine’s day, everybody
loves getting stuffed bears. In order to help
produce this happy or “stable” environment,
these two vital body systems work together to
achieve and maintain a stability of the internal
environment. This system’s method also
involves chemical messengers sent specifically
to the target cells, tissues, or organs, and the
secreting cells send hormone molecules… (5)
12. What are the nervous and endocrine
systems that also connect through
communication, integration, and
contronl? (5)
13. Chocolate for 50…
Doctors say that dark chocolate is
actually good for your heart and
immune system. This gland
produces these two hormones that
refer to 2 families of peptide and
are extremely critical in the
development of the immune
system. They also help to
stimulate the production of T cells
in the immune system. (5)
14. What is the thymus gland which is just
beneath the sternum and very critical
in children until puberty when it begins
atrophy which continues through
adulthood and eventually old age and
results in a fat and fibrous tissue? The
hormones are thymosin and
thymopoietin. (5)
15. 50 for Jewelry…
The description below that best describe what
hormone…
Primarily derived from amino acids which is a
derivative produced by the thyroid gland and just like a
chain on a James Avery necklace, its proteins are long
and folded. Peptide hormones are another example
which are smaller than proteins and are shorter than
amino acid chains. Amine hormones are synthesized by
modifying a single molecule of tyrosine produced by
neurosecretory. (5)
17. Chocolate for 30…
Valentine’s day can be a very stressful holiday and most
people take the stress away by biting into a delicious
Hershey’s bar. This gland, which is triangular-shaped and
measures about 1.5 inches in height and 3 inches in length,
is located on top of each kidney. It has two structures;
adrenal cortex, which is the outer part of the gland and
produces hormone vital to our life, such as cortisol which
is responsible for regulating metabolism and helps your
body cope with stress that you might experience on
Valentine’s day, and aldosterone which controls your
blood pressure that is also related to stress. The other
structure, the adrenal medulla, is the inner part of the
gland that produces the adrenaline that you can
experience around your significant other. (29)
18. What is the adrenal gland?(30)
Which produces Aldosterone,
cortisol, adrenal estrogens,
epinephrine, and norepinephrine
hormones. (5: page 506)
(26)
19. Love letters for 50…
On Valentine’s day your love for your significant other
may grow and you can never go wrong with writing sappy
and meaningful love letters to each other…. There are
three different types of hormones… This hormone, targets
endocrine glands and stimulates their growth and
secretion. Another hormone targets reproductive tissues,
and the last one stimulates anabolism in target cells. (5)
21. Stuffed animals for 10….
Stuffed animals are perfect gifts to give to your
significant other to really show much you care
about each other and this hormone produces
aldosterone which helps to maintain your blood
pressure when you may receive these gift. This
steroid also is manufactured by endocrine cells
from cholesterol, also a lipid-soluble that can pass
through the phospholipid plasma membrane of
target cells.. Other hormones include, cortisol,
testosterone, estradiol, and progesterone. (5)
23. Flowers for 40…
Valentine’s day isn’t just for spending time with
your significant other, but it’s also for showing
those that you love such as family members, how
much you care about them. Such as a daughter
showing much she appreciates her mom by giving
her flowers. This tissue in the body forms on the
lining of the uterus between the circulatory systems
of the mother and developing child and serves also
as a temporary endocrine gland. (5)
25. Chocolate for 40…
You can receive all different types of
chocolate on Valentine’s day. You can get
chocolate heart candies, caramel chocolate
candy, candy bars, and dark chocolate. You
can’t eat it all or this hormone will play an
important roll in contributing to obesity. It
acts by stimulating the hypothalamus to boost
your appetite and it also acts on other tissues
to slow metabolism and reduce fat burning. (5)
27. Stuffed animals for 40…
Little kids love when they receive stuffed animals,
especially on Valentine’s day. They treat that
stuffed animal as if it’s a child of its own. The
placenta produces this hormone that is considered
chronic because it is secreted by the chorion, a
fetal tissue component of the placenta. It is called
gonadotropin because as with the gonadotropins
of the adenohypophysis, it stiumlates development
and hormone secretion by maternal ovarian
tissues. The placenta plays an important role in
producing hormones necessary for a successful
pregnancy. (5)
28. What is the human
chorionic
gonadotropin
hormone? (5)
29. Stuffed animals for 50…
Everyone loves getting stuffed animals that
sing and dance and move on Valentine’s
day. The gastric & intestinal mucosa
produce these three hormones that play
important roles in coordinating the
secretory and motor activities involved in
the digestive process. (5)
31. Love letters for 10…
Whether you’re a man with testosterone or a woman
with estrogen, you can never go wrong with giving
your significant other love letters to remind each
other how much you love each other. This gland helps
to produce these wonderful hormones that are
responsible for the female and male sex organs. The
testes, which are paired organs within a sac of skin
called the scrotum that hangs from the groin area, are
composed of sperm producing seminiferous tubules
and also produces androgen. The ovaries, which are a
pair of glands in the pelvis, produce sex hormones
such as estrogens and progesterone. (32)
33. Chocolate for 10…
Chocolate begins with a C, just like this
gland where the head of the pancreas
lies in the beginning of the small
intestine, (duodenum) with its body
extending horizontally behind the
stomach and its tail touching the spleen.
It’s also composed of both endocrine
and exocrine tissues. (5)
35. Flowers for 30…
Flowers especially like roses produce and
give off wonderful scents and tend to smell
even better on Valentine’s day. This
important structure in our body is like the
pancreas and contains cells that produce
both endocrine and exocrine secretions. (5)
37. Love letters for 30…
Everyone’s heart melts when they receive love
letters on valentine’s day. There are 4 major parts
when writing a love letter: Who it is to, what they
are writing about, why they care so much about
this person and who wrote the letter. There are 4
major parts of the pancreatic islets. The alpha cell
which secretes the hormone glucagon, beta cells
secrete the hormone insulin, delta cells secrete
somatosin, and pancreatic polypeptide celss
secrete pancreatic polypeptide. This describes
what of the pancreatic islet?
39. Flowers for 20…
Valentine’s day is also about how strong of a
person you are if you get your heart broken.
Studies show that many women actually
send flowers to themselves if they’re lonely.
This gland also deals with strength and it
controls calcium in your body in a very tight
range between 9.0 and 10.1. It also controls
calcium in the bones and how strong and
dense the bones are. (26) Four or five of
these glands are also embedded in the
posterior surface of the thyroid’s lateral
lobes that appear as tiny rounded bodies
formed by compact irregular rows of cells.
(5 pg. 505)
40. What are parathyroid glands that secrete
the hormone parathormone which is
antagonist to calcitonin and helps maintain
calcium homeostasis. (5 pg. 505)
(27)
41. Stuffed animals for 20…
Valentine’s day is the day where you can
spread the love for the ones you love.
Spreading stuffed animals can be one
thing that you can spread. This gland is
a unique group of lipid molecules that
serve very important and widespread
integrative functions in the body but do
not meet the usual definition of a
hormone. (5)
43. Jewelry for 20…
Everybody likes to know what time it is and
watches are a perfect jewelry accessory. This gland
supports the body’s biological clock that secretes
melatonin. It is tiny, pine cone shaped structure
located on the dorsal aspect of the brain’s
diencephalon, a member of the nervous system
because it receives stimuli. (5)
45. Flowers for 10…
Flowers are something that you just cannot
live without on Valentine’s day.
Prostaglands are located in these organs
that you cannot live without: kidneys,
lungs, iris, brain and what other gland? (5)
47. Love letters for 20…
Love letters can represent the “master”
or biggest gift you can give somebody on
Valentine’s day.
This gland is known as the master gland
that is 1.2 to 1.5 centimeters across,
located on the ventral surface of the brain
within the skull made up of two different
glands. (5)
48. What is the pituitary gland
that is made up of the glands
adenohypophysis and the
neurohypophysis? (5)
49. Jewelry for 40…
A 14 karat gold necklace is any women’s
dream Valentine’s day gift. Unlike a 14k
gold necklace, this gland weighs about 30
grams and is located in the neck, on the
anterior and lateral surface of the trachea,
just below the larynx. This gland is also
made up of two lateral lobes and a narrow
connecting isthmus that is thin and
wormlike projection of this gland’s tissue.
