NURS 6501 Endocrine questions with correct answers
Autocrine CORRECT ANSWER Control in a cell
Paracrine CORRECT ANSWER Control / communication between local cells
Endocrine CORRECT ANSWER control/ communication between cells that are far from each other
Hormone secretion pattern CORRECT ANSWER a) Diurnal b) pulsatile and cyclic
c) Patterns that depend on levels of circulating substrates
ELISA CORRECT ANSWER Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay: used to determine circulating hormone levels. a technique used to detect antibodies or infectious agents in a sample. Antibodies are made in response to infection and so an antibody ELISA can indicate whether or not an animal has been in contact with a certain virus.
Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) CORRECT ANSWER Anterior pituitary
Stimulates release of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH): modulates prolactin secretion
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) CORRECT ANSWER Anterior Pituitary
Simulates release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) Somatostatin CORRECT ANSWER Anterior Pituitary
Inhibits release of growth hormone (GH) and TSH
Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) CORRECT ANSWER Anterior Pituitary
Stimulates release of GH
Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) CORRECT ANSWER Anterior Pituitary
Stimulates the release of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and Beta-
Endorphin
Substance P CORRECT ANSWER Anterior Pituitary
Inhibits synthesis and release of ACTH; Stimulates secretion of GH, FSH, LH, and
prolactin
Prolactin-hinhibiting factor (PIF, dopamine) CORRECT ANSWER Anterior Pituitary
Inhibits synthesis and secretion of prolactin
Prolactin-releasing factor (PFR) CORRECT ANSWER Anterior Pituitary
Stimulates secretion of prolactin
Somatopause CORRECT ANSWER a gradual and progressive decrease in growth hormone secretion that occurs normally with increasing age during adult life and is
associated with an increase in adipose tissue and LDL levels and a decrease in lean
body mass
SIADH CORRECT ANSWER syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone
