A patient with a history of an endocrine disorder exhibits signs and symptoms of
hormone deficiency. Which of the following processes would the patient's care team
most likely rule out first as a contributing factor?
Question options:
Up-regulation has increased the sensitivity of the body to particular hormone levels.
The process of down-regulation has resulted in decreased hormone sensitivity.
Hormone production is sufficient, but affinity on the part of the target cells is lacking.
The patient's target cells lack sufficient receptors for the hormone in question.

Which of the following phenomena constitutes a component of axonal transport?
Question options:
Anterograde and retrograde axonal transport allow for the communication of nerve
impulses between a neuron and the central nervous system (CNS).
Materials can be transported to the nerve terminal by either fast or slow components.
The unidirectional nature of the axonal transport system protects the CNS against
potential pathogens.
Axonal transport facilitates the movement of electrical impulses but precludes the
transport of molecular materials.

disorder?
