◉ 11. List the hormone(s) that best describes the statement below: I
am secreted by the pituitary to stimulate the thyroid. Answer: TSH
◉ 12. List the hormone(s) that best describes the statement below: I
am secreted by the beta cells of the pancreas. Answer: Insulin
◉ 12. List the hormone(s) that best describes the statement below: I
am secreted by the pituitary to stimulate the adrenal cortex. Answer:
ACTH
◉ 13. List the hormone(s) that best describes the statement below: I
cause blood glucose to rise and breakdown stored nutrients.
Answer: Glucagon
◉ 13. List the hormone(s) that best describes the statement below: I
am secreted by the alpha cells of the pancreas. Answer: Glucagon
◉ 14. Answer the following question. Explain in detail how PTH and
calcitonin work to maintain calcium balance. Answer: Calcitonin:
produced by the thyroid glands, deposits calcium into bone.
Calcitonin opposes the ac!on of PTH. When the blood calcium level
, reaches the appropriate level through all these means, the
parathyroid glands stop producing PTH through nega!ve feedback.
PTH: produced by the parathyroid glands increase the amount of
calcium in the blood. (Any one of the following explana!ons of PTH is
acceptable) PTH s!mulates the increased absorp!on of calcium from
the intes!nes. PTH retains calcium through excre!ng phosphate at the
kidneys. In the bones, PTH promotes the ac!vity of osteoclasts to
demineralize of the bone, increasing the amount of calcium in the
blood.
◉ 14. Explain why it would be harmful to have an increased
secretion of ACTH in someone who is diabetic. Answer: ACTH
controls the secretion of cortisol from the adrenal cortex. Increased
levels of ACTH would cause increased levels of cortisol within the
blood. Cortisol increases blood glucose levels which will decrease
the effectiveness of insulin treatments.
