When production of sex hormones increases what happens to bone growth?
When the production of sex hormones increases, both growth also increases. This is why, when a child hits puberty, they normally have a growth spurt.

Estrogen is secreted by it. Estrogen is produced in very high amount.
What hormone promotes reabsorstion of water?
That is andeuratic hormone. ADH. It is secreted by posterior pituitary.
Is insulin lipid or water soluble?
No it is not a lipid. Insulin is made up of proteins. It cannot be injected orally.
What stress hormone stimulates the body to make fat?
Taking in more calories than you're using up stimulates fat formation. If you're burning up what you eat, then you won't get fat.
What gland in the body produces insulin?
The Pancreas.
The pancreas is a large gland situated below and behind the stomach in the lower abdomen. The pancreas secretes pancreatic juice into the duodenum (the first section of the small intestine) through the pancreatic duct. The digestive enzymes in this juice help break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
Scattered among the cells that produce pancreatic juice are small groups of endocrine cells. These are called the Islets of Langerhans. They secrete two hormones, insulin and glucagon, which maintain blood glucose (sugar) levels.
Insulin is secreted in response to high glucose levels in the blood.
It lowers sugar levels in the blood by increasing the uptake of glucose into the tissues. Glucagon has the opposite effect. It causes the liver to transform the glycogen (a carbohydrate) it stores into glucose, which is then released into the blood.
Pupose of parathyroid hormone?
The thyroid is the "accelerator" in the body, acting on all organ systems to regulate the overall basal metabolic rate of the body. The parathyroids, by comparison, are more specifically involved in calcium levels and transport within the body.
What is the chemical symbol for the hormone adrenaline?
The human hormone adrenaline (epinephrine in the US) has the chemical form
(R)-4-(1-hydroxy-2-(methylamino)ethyl)benzene-1,2-diol and the formula C9H13NO3.
An illustration of the structural symbol is at the related link below.

it either increases or decreases the heart rate
Insulin is secreted in the islets of Langerhans, which are clusters of endocrine tissue found throughout the pancreas. They are made up of different cell types that secrete various hormones, including insulin and glucagon.
Which hormones is most likely to cause production of a concentrated urine?
Antidiuretic hormone(ADH) reabsorbs water from the collecting tubules of the kidney causing urine to become concentrated.
For how long you use progesterone suppositories?
They are usually inserted into the vagina at bedtime so that it stays in contact with the vagina for longer. When the patient is walking around, simple gravity will cause the melted pessary to drain away faster.
by altering the bases in the DNA coding insulin it can be modified
How protein and amino acid hormones react with a target cell?
The main difference between the two is that one is hydrophilic and the other is hydrophobic. This means that amino acid (peptide) hormoes cannot travel across the cellular membrane to activate genes; they must bind to receptors on the surface and activate second messenger systems. Steroid hormones, on the other hand, can travel right across membranes and affect genes directly.
How take adrenaline to feel euphoria?
just inject it into your blood not too much it will stop your heart so first research how much is not dangerous
How is an aldosterone assay done?
Aldosterone testing can be performed on a blood sample or on a 24-hour urine specimen. Several factors, including diet, posture (upright or lying down), and time of day that the sample is obtained can cause aldosterone levels to fluctuate.
