A steroid hormone are lipids that are made of Peptides. The peptide hormone is a hormone that helps control angry and aggression.
 * 2. What is a steroid hormone? How does it compare to a peptide hormone?**

The hypothalamus controls the internal environment.
 * 3. Explain the role of the hypothalamus.**

The pituitary gland is made up of two portions the posterior and anterior pituitary. hormones pass through the axon into the posterior pituitary where they are stored in axon endings. The anterior produces hormones.
 * 4. Explain the role of the pituitary gland (posterior and anterior).**




 * 5. Name the endocrine glands covered in this chapter, the hormone(s) they produce, and the function of each hormone. You may want to set up a table.**

> **Pituitary Gland**
 * Hypothalamus**:
 * 1) releases and inhibiting hormone:
 * 2) regulate the anterior pituitary
 * 1) Posterior
 * 2) Antidiuretic: reabsorbs water by kidneys.
 * 3) Oxytocin: stimulates milk letdown..
 * 4) Anterior Pituitary:
 * 5) //Thyroid stimulating://  stimulates thyroid
 * 6) //Adrenocorticotropic:// stimulate adrenal cortex
 * 7) //Gonadotropic//: egg and sperm production
 * 8) //Prolactin// : milk production
 * 9) //Growth// : Bone Growth and cell division.
 * Thyroid**:
 * Lowers calcium levels.
 * Adrenal Gland**:
 * 1) Adrenal Cortex:
 * 2) Glucoccorticoids: ups blood sugar level
 * 3) Mineralocorticoids: absorbs sodium and potassium
 * 4) Sex hormone: sex characteristics


 * Adrenal medulla:
 * Raises blood sugar level.
 * Parathyroids**:
 * Blood Calcium level
 * Thymus**:
 * Thymosins: Production of thymos something
