BIOS 252 - Week 7 - Endocrine System Part 2 Questions and Answers with
Complete Solutions UPDATED!!!
Aldosterone regulates
blood calcium ion levels
blood glucose levels
blood iodide ion levels
extracellular sodium and potassium ion levels - ANSWER
extracellular sodium and potassium ion levels
Aldosterone regulates the blood sodium and potassium levels.
It enhances sodium absorption and potassium excretion
through the kidneys.
Athletes may take synthetic erythropoietin (EPO) to boost their
blood calcium levels
secretion of growth hormone
blood oxygen levels
muscle mass - ANSWER blood oxygen levels
, Page |2
EPO promotes red blood cell production, which eventually
enhances oxygen levels in the blood. So, athletes may take
synthetic EPO to boost their blood O2 levels.
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) promotes
decreased urination
water retention
increased blood pressure
decreased blood pressure - ANSWER decreased blood pressure
Chronic stress is associated with an increased risk of
improved cardiovascular health
enhanced immune function
mental health disorders
reduced blood pressure - ANSWER mental health disorders
Damage to the thyroid gland would interrupt which function?
, Page |3
Fluid balance
Metabolism
Sleep
Lactation - ANSWER Metabolism
The hormones of the thyroid are responsible for regulating
metabolism. An increase in thyroid hormones leads to an
increase in metabolism. A decrease in thyroid hormones leads
to a decrease in metabolism.
During the alarm phase of the general adaptation syndrome
(GAS), what is the immediate physiological response to stress?
Reduced respiratory rate
Increased heart rate
Elevated cortisol levels
Increased urinary output - ANSWER Increased heart rate
