Section 5: The endocrine system and its relation to exercise and health

QuestionAnswer
chemicals that are released into the bloodstream to help control and manage the internal environment of the body are known as ? H Hormones
The technical name given to our hormonal controls is the ? EC endocrine system
Hormones are released from various glands around the body known as the e******** glands endocrine
a hormone that stimulates the body in many different ways to manage stress is known as a ? C cortisol
It is not uncommon to find that there may be multiple hormones involved before the final cellular or glandular response is achieved TRUE/FALSE TRUE
which gland is often considered the master gland, as many of the early endocrine outputs originate from here ? PG Pituitary gland
where can the Pituitary gland be located brain
which gland is considered to be the master regulator of metabolism ? TG Thyroid gland
where can the Thyroid gland be located Throat
these glands are named after their location on top of the renals (or kidneys). These small glands help primarily control and manage the stress response in the body ? AG Adrenal glands
this glandular organ sits below the stomach and helps in the control of carbohydrate metabolism ? P Pancreas
The pancreas produces two hormones called i****** and g******* insulin and glucagon
The pancreas produces two hormones called insulin and glucagon. They both help to regulate ? BG blood glucose.
what is responsible for driving glucose into adipose tissue and so plays a role in contributing to fat cell storage & also for driving proteins into cells ? I Insulin
what other name is given to adipose tissue ? Fat
which foods stimulate a stronger insulin response protein-rich foods or carbohydrate-rich foods. ? carbohydrate-rich foods.
Rising blood glucose, as a result of food intake, signals to the body that the pancreas needs to release what ? I Insulin
Insulin signals for cellular channels to open and allow the glucose to move out of the blood and into the cells for use, this results in a reduction of what ? blood
When an individual has gone for a long period without food or has engaged in prolonged activity, what levels may drop glucose
The pancreas releases glucagon which stimulates the liver to break down g******* into g****** glycogen into glucose
what stimulates the liver to break down glycogen into glucose glucagon
what hormone do the ovaries release which influences fat storage around the hips, buttocks and thighs ? O oestrogen
which hormone do the testes release which plays a part in stimulating the growth of muscle tissue.? T testosterone
which small glands sit on top of the kidneys Adrenal Glands
what is the name given to the inner layer of adrenal glands ? adrenal medulla
which part of the adrenals produces a category of hormones called the ‘catecholamines’. The inner layer (or adrenal medulla)
what is the name given to the outer layer of adrenal glands ? the adrenal cortex
which part of the adrenals produces a category of hormones called the ‘corticosteroids’. the adrenal cortex
The adrenals are well located on top of the kidneys, as they have a direct link to which major vessels of the body ? major blood vessels
what is the benefit of the adrenals being well located on top of the kidneys & having direct access to the major blood vessels of the body and what does it allow hormones to do ? get out into circulation and into effect very quickly
what is the most well known hormone in the catecholamine category which is a product of the adrenal medulla ? Adrenaline
which two hormones are released when life necessitates a typical ‘fight-or-flight’ response Adrenaline and noradrenaline
are the hormones of action as they drive heart rate, blood flow, and breathing and alertness levels upwards preparing the body very rapidly for activity Adrenaline and noradrenaline
The primary corticosteroid released from the adrenal cortex is called ? cortisol
which hormone helps provide needed reserves in the body to manage stress, whether mental, physical or emotional cortisol
Cortisol is primarily catabolic and helps break down ? and ? to provide energy for the body during stressful periods carbohydrates and fats
which hormone offers support during short-term bouts of stress cortisol
Long-term chronic stress and the resulting excess ? can lead to deterioration in health by unbalancing the endocrine system cortisol
which hormone released from the adrenal cortex via the corticosteroid is important in maintaining the water balance in the bloodstream Aldosterone
which hormone released from the adrenal cortex via the corticosteroid helps regulate the sodium/potassium balance in the blood Aldosterone
whic two minerals play a major role in water balance ? S/P sodium/potassium
which hormone is Released directly from the pituitary gland, stimulates bone growth, protein synthesis and fat burning Growth hormone
which hormone Stimulates bone growth, protein synthesis and fat burning Growth hormone
which hormone is Released from the thyroid gland after stimulus from the pituitary. Thyroid hormones
which hormone Controls cellular energy production, body temperature and metabolic rate ? Thyroid hormone
why is it it’s vital that Both growth and thyroid hormones are kept at the correct levels in the body maintaining good health
which glandular organ releases glucagon when blood sugar (glucose) levels fall too low Pancreas
which adrenal cortex hormone increases blood sugar and aids fat, protein and carbohydrate metabolism. Cortisol
which Adrenal medulla hormone regulates heart rate and is crucial for the fight-or-flight response. Adrenaline
which Pituitary gland hormone stimulates growth in all areas of the body Growth hormone
Low blood glucose can often occur during exercise why ? adequate food has not been ingested prior to the activity
