APHY 102 EXAM PREP QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SET TWO
◉paracrine gland . Answer: a secretion that enters interstitial fluid; acts
on neighboring cells
◉autocrine gland . Answer: a secretion that only affects the secreting
cell
◉endocrine gland . Answer: secretes hormones into the internal
environment
◉exocrine glands . Answer: secretions enter tubes/ducts that lead to
body surfaces.
◉hypothalamus . Answer: regulates pituitary gland secretion
◉steroid hormones . Answer: soluble in lipids (cholesterol); protein
receptors, mRNA
, ◉tropic hormones . Answer: stimulate other endocrine glands to release
hormones; released by anterior pituitary gland via hypothalamus
◉glucagon . Answer: increase in blood glucose
◉insulin . Answer: promotes formation of glycogen; inhibits conversion
of noncarbohydrates into glucose; enhances movement of glucose
through adipose and muscle cell membranes; promotes transport of
amino acids into cells
◉diabetes mellitus . Answer: Type 1 is when the pancreas cannot
produce insulin (autoimmune); Type 2 is non insulin dependents
◉Rh factor and developing fetus . Answer: Rh negative mother + Rh
positive baby = first pregnancy okay; Rh positive blood enters mother
and mother produces Rh anti-bodies; second pregnancy may result in
destruction of red blood cells in fetus; erythroblastosis fetalis
◉Blood type A . Answer: antigen: A; antibody: anti-B; receive type A or
O; give to type A or AB
◉Blood type B . Answer: antigen: B; antibody: anti-A; receive type B or
O; give to type B or AB
