18
thyroidgland:An endocrine gland located in the neck region that helps etablish the immune system
hypothalamus:Gland that helps regulate body temperature; influences behaviors such as hunger, thirst, and reproduction and secretes a hormone(GnRH) that stimulates the activities of the gonads
acrosome:An organelle at the tip of the sperm cell containing enzymes that hlpe the sperm penetrate the egg cell
endocrine:__________ system is an internal system of regulation and communication involving hormones, the glands, and the particular cells.
hormones:Chemicals that travel through the circulatory system and act as signals to elicit a response from target cells
steroid:__________ hormones are fat-soluble hormones that can cross cell mambranes and bind to receptors inside the target cell, causing cells to turn specific genes on or off.
sexhormone:The steroid hormone most involved in producing anatomical sex differences
estrogen:Any of the feminizing hormones secreted by the ovary in females and adrenal glands in both sexes
testosterone:Masculinizing hormone secreted by the testes
sarcomere:Any of the repeating units in a myofibril of striated muscle, bounded by Z discs
myofibril:Structure found in muscle cells, composed of thin filaments of actin and thick filaments of myosin
qangle:Angle of the femur in ralation to a horizontal line drawn through the kneecap
compactbone:The hard, outer shell of bones
spongebone:The porous, honeycomblike material of the inner bone
osteoblast:Bone-forming cell responsible for the deposition of collagen
ossacoxae:The paired bones that form the bony pelvis
gonads:The male and female sex organs;testicles in human males or ovaries in human females
cholesterol:A steroid found in animal cell membranes that affects membrane fludity. Serves as the precursor to setrogen and testosterone
