  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line
To print: Ctrl+PPrint as a list

50 notecards = 13 pages (4 cards per page)

front 2

pituitary gland connects where?

back 2

the thalamus

back 3

very big with metabolism

front 4

parathyroid

back 4

controlling calcium levels

front 5

beta cells

back 5

secreting insulin

front 6

alpha cells

back 6

producing glucagon

front 7

reproductive are hormones involved (T/F)

back 7

TRUE

front 8

anterior pituitary

back 8

producing ACTH, GH, TSH

back 10

ADH AND OXYTOCIN

-STORED AND RELEASED IN THE HYPOTHALAMUS

front 11

THYROID GLANDS

back 11

Producing T3 and T4 and calcitonin

-iodine and protein is needed to synthesize thyroid hormones

front 12

parathyroid

back 12

has to have equal CA levels.

-if CA goes down PTH goes down

-if CA goes up PTH goes up

front 13

calcatonin

back 13

is released from the thyroid

-calcitonin decreases CA levels

front 14

adrenal medulla

back 14

norepinephrine (keep blood pressure up) in responses from the sympathetic nervous system

front 15

adrenal cortex

back 15

secretes corticosteroid , mineralcorticoids (aldosterone) and glucocorticoids (cortisol)

front 16

front 19

functions of the pancreas

back 19

  • pancreas is only gland in the body that is both endocrine and exocrine
