A major cause of hypersecretion of hormones is a dysfunctional gland. Very high levels of cortisol is found in the blood serum of Patient X. After an injection of dexamethasone (a potent, synthetic cortisol), Patient X's cortisol levels return to normal. Based on your reading, is this condition of Patient X primary hypersecretion, secondary hypersecretion, tertiary hypersecretion, or cannot be diagnosed? Group of answer choices secondary hypersecretion primary hypersecretion tertiary hypersecretion Cannot be diagnosed

Hormones travel through the general blood circulation to specific sites called target tissues or (1.) Effectors , where they produce a coordinated response of the target tissues. Thus, the term endocrine (en′dō-krin), derived from the Greek words (2). _________________, meaning within, and (3) ____________, to secrete, appropriately describes this system. Endocrine glands are not to be confused with exocrine glands. Exocrine glands have (4.) _____________ that carry their secretions to the outside of the body, or into a hollow organ, such as the stomach or intestines. Examples of exocrine secretions are saliva, sweat, breast milk, and digestive enzymes. The study of the endocrine system, known as 5. _____________________. Can someone answer the 2-5?
