Smallest of the 12 cranial nerves, involved in smell.

Largest cranial nerve; responsible for facial sensation and motor functions such as biting and chewing.

Responsible for hearing and balance; injuries can cause tinnitus and vertigo.

Controls taste for the posterior one-third of the tongue and sensations from the throat.

Monitors internal environment; includes sympathetic and parasympathetic systems.

Part of the autonomic nervous system that triggers 'fight or flight' responses.

Part of the autonomic nervous system that promotes 'rest and digest' activities.

The breakdown of glycogen into glucose to increase blood sugar levels.

Clusters of nerve cell bodies in the sympathetic nervous system, important for autonomic responses.

Another name for the sympathetic nervous system reflecting its origin from the thoracic and lumbar regions.

Hypersecretion of human growth hormone during childhood, leading to excessive growth.

Hypersecretion of human growth hormone during adulthood causing enlarged extremities.

Condition caused by inadequate secretion of ADH or receptor defects, leading to excessive urination.

Hypersecretion of cortisol, characterized by features like 'moon face' and 'buffalo hump.'

Insulin-dependent diabetes where the immune system destroys pancreatic Beta cells, resulting in low insulin levels.

Develops into the forebrain, forming the cerebrum.

Second largest brain part; coordinates skilled movements.

Major relay station for most sensory impulses; 80% of diencephalon.

Controls many autonomic nervous system activities; vital for homeostasis.

Largest brain part; the seat of intelligence and emotional aspects.

Known as the 'emotional brain' with roles in behavior and memory.

Regulates basic breathing rhythm and reflexes like swallowing.

Pairs of nerves emerging from the brain; involved in senses like smell and vision.

Hormones act on neighboring cells.

Hormones act on the same cell that secreted them.

Hormones derived from amino acids like thyroxine and epinephrine.

Hormones made of chains of amino acids, such as ADH and oxytocin.

Lipid soluble hormones bind inside cells, water soluble bind on membranes.

Most hormonal regulation that decreases further hormone release.

Stimulates ovulation in ovaries and testosterone production in testes.

Hormone that decreases water loss; also known as vasopressin.

A butterfly-shaped gland located anterior to the trachea, crucial for metabolism regulation.

Hormone that inhibits osteoclast activity, lowering blood calcium levels.

Characterized by fatigue, cold intolerance, slow heartbeat, weight gain, and brittle nails.

Hormone that increases osteoclast activity to raise blood calcium levels.

Glands that release hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, regulating stress responses and metabolism.

Clusters of alpha and beta cells in the pancreas that regulate blood sugar levels.

Growth disorder due to hyposecretion of human growth hormone during growth years.
