PATHOPHYSIOLOGY WEEK 7 EDAPT EXAM QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS FULLY VERIFIED
1. HORMONAL REGULATION:
2. endocrine system: hypothalamus, pituitary gland, pineal gland, thyroid and lands,
parathyroid g pancreas, ovary (in females), adrenal glands, testicle (in males), and thymus,
placenta (during pregnancy).
3. hormones: regulate activity such as growth, development, metabolism, emotions, mood, sleep,
reproduction, and blood pressure
regulated through feedback loops
some endocrine glands will produce too little or too much hormone and lead to alterations
stress, age, illness, and certain medications can cause hormonal imbalance
4. Which part of the body is the main control center for hormonal
regulation? Hypothalamus
Adrenal
glands
Pituitary
gland
Parathyroid glands: Hypothalamus
5. three mechanisms of hormonal release: hormone levels are primarily controlled
through neg- ative feedback loops in which rising levels of a hormone prevent its further release
three mechanisms:
neural stimuli
release of hormones in response to neural stimulation
hormonal stimuli
release of hormones in response to hormones released by other endocrine glands
humoral stimuli
control of hormonal release in response to changes in extracellular fluid or ion levels

7. hormonal stimuli: release of hormones in response to hormones released by other
endocrine glands
Ex: For example, in this image of the stress response, the release of corticotropin- one (CRH) alerts
releasing horm the pituitary gland to release adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH). This lease is based
mechanism of hormone re hormonal stimuli. Therefore, the release of hormones is in on by other
response to hormones being released glands. endocrine
8. humoral stimuli: control of hormonal release in response to changes in extracellular fluid or i
levels
9. In hormone regulation, which statement best describes the
negative feed- back loop?
A reaction that causes a decrease in function to help maintain
homeostasis A reaction that remains constant to support
homeostasis
A reaction that creates no change to maintain homeostasis
A reaction that causes an increase in function to help maintain
homeostasis: A reaction that causes a decrease in function to help maintain homeostasis
10. negative feedback loop: reaction that causes decrease in function
role of negative feedback loop is that the output is reduced so the body can maintain
homeostasis it occurs in response to a stimulus
Ex: when thyroid hormones are low, the hypothalamus releases the thyroid-releasing hormone (TRH),
which signals the anterior pituitary gland to release thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), causing the
thyroid to release thyroid hormones. As the newly released thyroid hormone levels increase, the
hypothalamus stops producing TRH, causing the anterior pituitary gland to stop producing TSH.
11. stress response system (hormonal regulation): The release of
pin-releasing
corticotro hor- nism of
mone (CRH) alerts the pituitary gland to release adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH).hormone
This mecha release is based on hormonal stimuli; therefore, the release of hormones is
in response to hormon by other endocrine glands.
