Match the Following Hormones to the correction function:  Leptin                        Mediates part of the sympathetic response to stress. Affects metabolism (increases blood glucose). Also                                    increases heart rate & BP Cortisol                     Reduces Ca+2 in ECF stimulates bone deposition and ossification. Effects  primarily children.                              Aldosterone               Affects metabolism (increases blood glucose) Glucagon                  Stimulates kidneys to excrete (lose)  Na+ and H2O. Regulates blood pressure. T3 & T4 (thyroid Hormone)          Promotes Na+ retention and K+ secretion  by kidneys, maintains blood pressure & volume.                  Epinephrine and Norepinephrine                    Suppresses apetite  Calcitonin                           Elevates metabolic rate, O2 consumption and heat production. Stimulates respiration and circulation  Atrial Naturetic Peptide/Factor                     Stimulates red blood cell production by  bone marrow. Erythropoietin              Controls metabolism and response tostress. Increases blood glucose. Suppresses immune (defense) system.
