BHS 329Assessment 4 COMPREHENSIVE EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS UPDATED 2024/2025 (100% Verified)
Endocrine tissues include all of the following except: - ✔✔muscles
The most common method through which hormones are regulated is a: - ✔✔negative feedback loop
Match the hormone with the part of the pituitary that processes the hormone:
oxytocin
corticotroptin-releasing hormone
thyrotropin-releasing hormone
antidiuretic hormone - ✔✔oxytocin = posterior pituitary
corticotroptin-releasing hormone = anterior pituitary
thyrotropin-releasing hormone = anterior pituitary
antidiuretic hormone = posterior pituitary
Your friend has had a very rough year. His mother contracted COVID-19 and has been ill, and his father
lost his job. He had to quit school to work full time, which resulted in him moving home with several
younger siblings, for whom he sometimes cares. He is an essential worker, and he worries about
exposure to potential pathogens at his job. He has not been able to sleep much with his long work
hours, and his eating habits have been poor. This continues for months, and when you talk to him, he
sounds lethargic. You can tell that he's in this phase of the general adaptation syndrome: -
✔✔exhaustion
Common methods for assessing hormone levels include: - ✔✔measuring hormone concentrations in the
blood or urine
The most common cause of hyperthyriodism is: - ✔✔Graves disease
Addison disease is a disease in which there is: - ✔✔too little adrencorticotropic hormone
, Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone Secretion (SIADH) is a disease in which there is: -
✔✔too much antidiuretic hormone
A compound that is necessary to form thyroid hormones is: - ✔✔iodine
Hormones are commonly secreted by all of the following except - ✔✔connective tissue
Hormones that affect specific tissues (as opposed to all tissues) do so because of the: - ✔✔specificity of
the receptor to which they bind to enter the cell
Which of the following is not a typical reaction that occurs during the stress response: - ✔✔increased
synthesis of B cells and T cells
Your uncle suffered a traumatic brain injury in a car accident. The injury resulted in reduced amounts of
all follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone, prolactin, growth
hormone, and adrenocorticotropic hormone. He has: - ✔✔panhypopituitarism
The most common cause of diabetes insipidus is: - ✔✔trauma injury or surgery that affects the
osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus
The pathophysiology of Addison disease includes: - ✔✔distruction of the anterior pituitary or inability of
the adrenal cortex to secrete adrenocorticotropic hormone
Clinical manifestations of hypothyroidism include: - ✔✔myxedema leading to accumulation of protein-
carbohydrate complexes in the extracellular maxtrix
The pathophysiology of Graves disease includes: - ✔✔IgG antibodies binding to receptors on
thyrocyctes, resulting in overstimulation
Hormones that travel through the blood to affect their target cells are known as: - ✔✔endocrine and
neuroendocrine
