For a particular hormone to carry out its function (by altering the physiology of its target cell) it must be present in the blood stream.  

Three components of a feedback loop are  

Control of the diameter of the respiratory passages depends upon  

Target cells can adjust their sensitivity to hormones by changing?  

Thoracolumbar division  is another name for the  

Complete statement #1 by selecting one of terms listed below it and then #2 Explain your answer!!    [1]  Please choose the neuron that conducts nerve impulses the quickest:          Somatic, Preganglionic sympathetic,  Preganglionic parasympathetic,  Postganglionic sympathetic            Postganglionic parasympathetic   [2]  Explain why it is able to conduct rapid nerve impulses                         

Match the Following Hormones to their correction function: Luteinizing hormone (LH)                   influences mood and sexual maturity Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)              regulates growth of gametes: oocytes in females and spermatozoa in                                                        males; stimulates ovarian follicles to secrete estrogen in females  Oxytocin                                    surge causes ovulation and produces  progesterone  via corpus luteum in                                                females; stimulates interstitial cells in testis to make testosterone.  Prolactin                              promotes uterine motility and milk let  down (release). Also important in                                            male affection. Growth hormone (GH)                 induces milk synthesis after pregnancy Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)                      promotes tissue growth mainly by triggering release of                                                                        somatomedin (a potent growth stimulator) from the liver. Testosterone                   regulates menstrual cycle and pregnancy. Promotes growth of uterine lining                                 (endometrium); stimulates female growth and development Melatonin                       mediates sense of thirst and promotes H2O retention by the kidneys;                                     likely responsible  for affection & monogamy in males Estrogen                              stimulates male growth, development, sperm production and libido.  

List the effectors of the ANS:      [a]    [b]    [c]   

Use one of the terms to complete the statement and explain your answer:  1. Most all nerves are classified as [a]    .  sensory only motor only mixed  2. Explain your answer:  [b] 

Arrange the following in correct sequence: (1) autonomic ganglia and ganglionic synapse (2) synapse with target tissues (3) preganglionic neuron (4) postganglionic neuron
