APHY 102 Midterm Exam Questions with
Correct Answers
hormone
chemical messengers; secreted into body fluids, mainly blood with specific actions on target
tissues that have specific receptors for it
paracrine gland
a secretion that enters interstitial fluid; acts on neighboring cells
autocrine gland
a secretion that only affects the secreting cell
endocrine gland
secretes hormones into the internal environment
exocrine glands
secretions enter tubes/ducts that lead to body surfaces.
hypothalamus
regulates pituitary gland secretion
steroid hormones
soluble in lipids (cholesterol); protein receptors, mRNA
tropic hormones
stimulate other endocrine glands to release hormones; released by anterior pituitary gland via
hypothalamus
glucagon
, increase in blood glucose
insulin
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
Type 1 is when the pancreas cannot produce insulin (autoimmune); Type 2 is non insulin
dependents
Rh factor and developing fetus
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
antigen: A; antibody: anti-B; receive type A or O; give to type A or AB
Blood type B
antigen: B; antibody: anti-A; receive type B or O; give to type B or AB
Blood type AB
antigens: A & B; antibody: neither; receive Type A, B, and O; give to type AB only;
universal recipient
Blood type O
