Chapter 10 Endocrine Function
1. A predominant effect of a prolonged excessive growth hormone level is:
A) short stature with obesity.
B) high androgen hormone levels.
C) increased blood glucose levels.
D) insulin-like growth factor (IGF) depletion.
2. The most common cause of hypothyroidism is:
A) goiter.
B) myxedema.
C) thyroidectomy.
D) autoimmune thyroiditis.
3. Thyroid hormone deficit , which alters the function of all major
organs in the body.
A) decreases metabolism
B) increases protein synthesis
C) causes vitamin deficiencies
D) enhances absorption of glucose
4. The most common cause of thyrotoxicosis is Graves disease, which has the
distinguishing characteristic of in addition to a diffuse goiter.
A) muscle fatigue
B) facial myxedema
C) ophthalmopathy
D) decreased cholesterol
5. The major adrenal cortical hormones are steroids and are synthesized from
acetate and:
A) ACTH.
, B) albumin.
C) amino acids.
D) cholesterol.
6. Primary adrenal insufficiency is manifested by:
A) truncal obesity and edema.
B) hypokalemia and hypervolemia.
C) hyponatremia and hypoglycemia.
