4. Which of the following functions does the myelin sheath perform for a nerve cell? -
answers Insulation and increases the speed of an electrical signal.
5. What is addison disease? - answers hyposecretion of cortisol (adrenal glands are
damaged causing a slow production of cortisol)
Hypo secretion - answers production of a bodily secretion at a very SLOW rate.
What hormones do the adrenal glands produce? - answers Cortisol & Alderstone
Hyper secretion - answers excessive production of bodily secretion. (ex. gastric
acid, mucus, or growth hormone)
What two parts are your adrenal glands composed of? - answers 1. Inner medula -
produces adrenal - like hormones
2. Outer cortex - produces cortisol
Amylase - answers Enzyme that converts starch and glycogen into simple sugars.
Bile is produced, stored, and released into what organs in the body? - answers
Produced in the liver, stored in the gall bladder, and released into the small intestine.
Cortisol - answers A hormone produced by the adrenal glands (cortex). Increases
blood sugar during stress and has anti-inflammatory properties.
