Endocrine System Jeopardy 3 Jeopardy Template

Knowing Your System	Hormone structure	Control of Hormonal Secretions	Hormones and Functions	Combining Forms
100 What is the difference between endocrine and exocrine glands? Endocrine glands— Secrete their hormones directly into the bloodstream Exocrine glands—Send chemical substances (tears, sweat, milk, saliva) via ducts to the outside of the body	100 Structurally speaking, what are the two types of hormones? Steroids and nonsteroids	100 How are hormonal secretions controlled? Negative and positive feedbacks.	100 What is the function of melatonin Helps regulate our natural clock, used in the research about our body's biological time	100 Cortic/o Cortex, outer region
200 What are the major endocrine glands? Thyroid gland Parathyroid glands Adrenal glands Pancreas Pituitary gland Ovaries Testes Pineal	200 Prostaglandins are lipids produced from the fatty acid, arachidonic acid, in the cell membranes. Where do they act? They act locally, meaning that they will only affect the organ in which they were produced	200 Which one is more common, negative or positive feedback? Negative feedback	200 What is the function of oxytocin Helps in stimulating contractions in the uterus during childbirth and also helps during the breastfeeding moments	200 Gonad/o Sex hormones
300 What are the local hormones? Messenger molecules that never reach the bloodstream; not true hormones	300 Where are the protein receptors for steroid hormones located? Inside the target cell	300 What is negative feedback? When hormones tries to bring back their regular levels of productions when this levels are too extreme.	300 What is the function of thymopoietin and thymulin? Turning the T cells in our body into disease fighters that will protect us from intruders in the body	300 Pysh/o Growing
400 Other than controlling and coordinate the body's metabolism, reproduction, growth and development, what other roles does the endocrine system play? Responding to injuries, stress, and mood.	400 What are the polypeptides and the peptides formed from? The aminoacids	400 When is the inhibition of the negative feedback removed? When the hormone drops below its normal level	400 What is the function of the glucocorticoids? Regulates metabolism and responds to illnesses in the body	400 Myx/o Mucus
500 How do the nervous system and the endocrine system communicate with cells differently? The nervous system uses neurotransmitters while the endocrine system uses hormones.	500 Define signal transduction Signal transduction is a cascade of all the biological activity inside the cell membrane, beginning with the binding of the hormone.	500 Describe the method (b) of control of the endocrine system Action -> nervous system -> endocrine gland -> target cells -> action	500 What is the function of the luteinising/follicle stimulating hormone? Stimulates the production of sex hormones, and also help in maturing egg and sperm	500 -Agon Assemble, gather together
