MCB 246 - Endocrine System: Day 1 (Exam 3) Questions
With Complete Solutions
______________ hormonally stimulates anterior pituitary to
release its hormones. Correct Answers Hypothalamus
_________________ will release inhibit hormones which
decrease the secretion of anterior pituitary hormones. Correct
Answers Hypothalamus
a type of local hormone formed from fatty acids within
phospholipid bilayer of membrane, synthesized through an
enzymatic cascade Correct Answers eicosanoids
ADH (anti=against, ouresis=urination) functions to maintain
fluid balance, blood volume, and blood pressure. ADH acts on
the kidneys to decrease urine output and on the brain thirst
center so our brain becomes conscious of being thirsty. ADH is
produced in the:
a) Hypothalamus
b) Posterior pituitary
c) Anterior pituitary
d) Kidney Correct Answers
Are biogenic amines (monoamines) water-soluble? Correct
Answers -water-soluble - readily dissolve within the aqueous
environment of the blood, released into blood and transported to
target cells (except for thyroid hormone (TH): TH is nonpolar
(made from a pair of tyrosines) and lipid soluble)
, are eicosanoids, stimulate pain and inflammatory responses,
aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti - inflammatory drugs block
prostaglandin formation Correct Answers prostaglandins
Blood circulating levels depend on what? Correct Answers how
fast synthesized and eliminated (hormone release, elimination,
half-life)
Carrier proteins are necessary for water-soluble hormones:
a) True
b) False Correct Answers
composed of ductless glands that synthesize and secrete
hormones, hormones are released into the blood and transported
throughout the body Correct Answers endocrine system
controls pituitary, which controls structures such as thyroid,
adrenal, liver, testes, ovaries Correct Answers hypothalamus
decreases urine production, stimulate thirst, constrict blood
vessels Correct Answers ADH
Different hormones can simultaneously bind to a cell, and
effects may interact: ___________ (estrogen and progesterone),
_______________ (oxytocin's milk ejection requires prolactin's
milk-generating effect), _______________ (glucagon increases
blood glucose while insulin lowers it) Correct Answers -
synergistic
-permissive
-antagonistic
