Match the following systems with their characteristics:
Nervous system = Sends impulses to specific target areas, reacts quickly, stops when stimulus ends, fast effect for short time. Endocrine system = Sends out hormones for general widespread effects, slower reaction, can last for days, slow effects that last longer. Chemicals = Act as both neurotransmitter and hormones. Exocrine system = Produces eggs and sperm.
Match the following endocrine glands with their secreted hormones:
Anterior pituitary = TSH – Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, ACTH – Adrenocorticotropic Hormone, GH – Growth Hormone. Posterior pituitary = ADH – Antidiuretic Hormone, Oxytocin. Thyroid gland = Thyroid Hormones T3 and T4. Pancreas = Insulin, Glucagon, Somatostatin.
