Study of glands that produce hormones and their effects on organs

System of glands and cells that secrete hormones into the bloodstream

Chemical messengers secreted by endocrine glands

Cells with specific receptors for a hormone

Glands that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream

Specialized cells that secrete hormones

Pituitary gland; an endocrine gland

Endocrine gland related to calcium regulation

Organ with both endocrine and exocrine functions

Hormone that raises blood sugar

Hormone that regulates other hormones

Glands that produce hormones related to stress

Reproductive glands, including ovaries and testes

Gland that produces hormones regulating metabolism

Protein structures on target cells that bind hormones
