Understand Main Ideas 1. MAINIDEA Assess the reasons why hormone feedback systems are referred to as "negative feedback." 2. Predict when you would expect to find high levels of insulin in a person's blood and when you would expect to find high levels of glucagon in a per- son's blood.

4.What determines plasma concentrations of specific hormones? What determines their effectiveness on target cells and tissues?

8. Disorders of the Endocrine System: Fill in the table describing disorders of the Endocrine System. Type 1 diabetes mellitus A. Hypersecretion of cortisol – resulting in "moon face" and high blood pressure. B. Antibodies produced by the immune system stimulate the thyroid gland resulting in hyperthyroidism, often accompanied with protrusion of the eyes. Type 2 diabetes mellitus C. Hypersecretion of hGH during childhood causes a notable increase in height. Diabetes insipidus Cushing's syndrome D. Severe hypothyroidism. E. Destruction of the beta cells of the pancreas early in life results in low levels of insulin production. As a result, glucose cannot enter cells. Acromegaly. F. Hyposecretion of hGH resulting in slow growth pattern and an unusually small stature. Gigantism Addison's disease G. Hyposecretion of ADH or the kidneys not responding appropriately to ADH causes the body to excrete large volumes of urine, resulting in dehydration and thirst. Myxedema H. Target cells become…
