A hormone is a secreted molecule that is carried in the bloodstream to
where it acts on target cells that bear specific receptors for that
hormone.
- True

- Lymphocyte count
Antibody count
- Thymus
Thymus
What class of immunoglobulin is involved in immediate-reaction
allergic reactions?
- IgG
- IgE

,Steroid hormones diffuse through cell membranes, then bind with
receptors, whereas nonsteroid hormones bind receptors on the target cell
membrane.
- True
- False
True
As a result of the general stress response, blood concentrations of
epinephrine
-fall and cortisol rise
-and cortisol fall
-rise and
cortisol fall -
and cortisol
rise and
cortisol rise
Choose the example that does not demonstrate a negative feedback loop
of hormonal control
, - A hormone that increases blood pressure is released. Baroreceptors in
the arteries sense the pressure change and stimulate the brainstem to
send signals to dilate blood vessels and counter the effect, decreasing
blood pressure.
- A glandreleases hormone that causes free blood glucose to be collected
and stored after a meal. After a time, the gland detects low free blood
glucose and ceases production of the hormone.
- Pressure receptors sense the movement of a baby against and through
the cervix during labor. They stimulate the hypothalamus to release a
hormone that causes uterine contractions. This causes more pressure
receptor stimulation, leading to larger releases of the hormone and
stronger, more frequent contractions. Hormone release ceases after
pressure sensations cease.

Steroid hormones
- Are very soluble in water
- include epinephrine and norepinephrine
-Must interact with membrane receptors because they are never
membrane permeable.
