words only definitions & notes
  1. blood glucose
    glucose in the bloodstream
    The hypothalmus also controls such activities as body temperature, sexual drive, appetite, blood glucose levels, and sleep/arousal behavior patterns.
  2. pituitary gland
    the master gland of the endocrine system
    The pituitary gland is a half-breed in many ways.
  3. growth hormone
    a hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland
    The other half comes from tissues originating from the roof of the embryonic mouth, the anterior lobe which controls sex hormone levels, lactation, growth hormone, body steroids, and the thyroid gland).
  4. lactation
    the production and secretion of milk by the mammary glands
    The other half comes from tissues originating from the roof of the embryonic mouth, the anterior lobe which controls sex hormone levels, lactation, growth hormone, body steroids, and the thyroid gland).
  5. hormone
    the secretion of an endocrine gland transmitted by the blood
    Half of the gland comes down from the brain (the posterior lobe which controls the body's water levels and secretes the hormone ADH -- anti-diuretic hormone).
  6. sex hormone
    any hormone affecting the development and growth of sex organs
    The other half comes from tissues originating from the roof of the embryonic mouth, the anterior lobe which controls sex hormone levels, lactation, growth hormone, body steroids, and the thyroid gland).
  7. hormonal
    of or relating to or caused by hormones
    The pituitary is responsible for almost all of the body's hormonal systems, taking all of its cues from the hypothalmus, the hidden and very deeply located Grand Wizard of the brain.
  8. pituitary
    of or relating to the pituitary gland
    The pituitary gland is a half-breed in many ways.
  9. thyroid gland
    a gland in the neck that controls metabolism and energy use
    The other half comes from tissues originating from the roof of the embryonic mouth, the anterior lobe which controls sex hormone levels, lactation, growth hormone, body steroids, and the thyroid gland).
  10. body temperature
    temperature of the body
    The hypothalmus also controls such activities as body temperature, sexual drive, appetite, blood glucose levels, and sleep/arousal behavior patterns.
  11. diuretic
    any substance that tends to increase the flow of urine
    Half of the gland comes down from the brain (the posterior lobe which controls the body's water levels and secretes the hormone ADH -- anti-diuretic hormone).
  12. water level
    the level of the surface of a body of water
    Half of the gland comes down from the brain (the posterior lobe which controls the body's water levels and secretes the hormone ADH -- anti-diuretic hormone).
  13. lobe
    a rounded projection that is part of a larger structure
    Half of the gland comes down from the brain (the posterior lobe which controls the body's water levels and secretes the hormone ADH -- anti-diuretic hormone).
  14. glucose
    a monosaccharide sugar that has several forms
    The hypothalmus also controls such activities as body temperature, sexual drive, appetite, blood glucose levels, and sleep/arousal behavior patterns.
  15. gland
    a small organ that synthesizes and secretes chemicals
    The pituitary gland is a half-breed in many ways.
  16. steroid
    any of several fat-soluble organic compounds having as a basis 17 carbon atoms in four rings; many have important physiological effects
    The other half comes from tissues originating from the roof of the embryonic mouth, the anterior lobe which controls sex hormone levels, lactation, growth hormone, body steroids, and the thyroid gland).
  17. thyroid
    a gland in the neck that controls metabolism and energy use
    The other half comes from tissues originating from the roof of the embryonic mouth, the anterior lobe which controls sex hormone levels, lactation, growth hormone, body steroids, and the thyroid gland).
  18. secrete
    generate and separate from cells or bodily fluids
    Half of the gland comes down from the brain (the posterior lobe which controls the body's water levels and secretes the hormone ADH -- anti-diuretic hormone).
  19. embryonic
    of an organism prior to birth or hatching
    The other half comes from tissues originating from the roof of the embryonic mouth, the anterior lobe which controls sex hormone levels, lactation, growth hormone, body steroids, and the thyroid gland).
  20. posterior
    located at or near the end of a structure
    Half of the gland comes down from the brain (the posterior lobe which controls the body's water levels and secretes the hormone ADH -- anti-diuretic hormone).
  21. anterior
    of or near the head end or toward the front plane of a body
    The other half comes from tissues originating from the roof of the embryonic mouth, the anterior lobe which controls sex hormone levels, lactation, growth hormone, body steroids, and the thyroid gland).
  22. half-breed
    (of animals) having only one purebred parent
    The pituitary gland is a half-breed in many ways.
  23. brain
    the organ that is the center of the nervous system
    It is not really a part of the brain, but rather hangs beneath it.
  24. temperature
    the degree of hotness or coldness of a body or environment
    The hypothalmus also controls such activities as body temperature, sexual drive, appetite, blood glucose levels, and sleep/arousal behavior patterns.
