APHY 102 Final Exam
What regulates pituitary gland secretion? - ANS-the hypothalamus sends "messages" to
the pituitary gland to release hormones
What is a hormone and how does it act? - ANS-substance secreted by an endocrine
gland and transported in the blood, which has actions on its target cells. It acts on target
cells.
Compare and contrast glucagon and insulin. - ANS-Both work to keep blood glucose
concentration constant and secreted by the pancreas. Glucagon stimulates the liver to
break down glycogen and convert noncarbohydrates into glucose. Insulin promotes the
formation of glycogen from glucose, inhibits conversion of noncarbohydrates into
glucose.
How are pheromones different than hormones? - ANS-Pheromones are a type of
hormone that are released in small quantities and play a big role in physical attraction
between people.
How is inhibin used in the body? - ANS-
Differentiate between paracrine, autocrine, endocrine, and exocrine glands. - ANS-

, Describe the steps in clot formation. - ANS-
What blood types can give/receive to/from other blood types? - ANS-
What are normal levels and percentages of RBC, WBC and platelets? - ANS-
Compare serum versus plasma. - ANS-
What is hematocrit? - ANS-
How is the ANS used to regulate blood pressure? - ANS-
What are the functions of the cardiovascular system? - ANS-

Describe the layers of the heart and pericardium. - ANS-
Compare and contrast pulmonary, coronary, and systemic circulation. - ANS-
What terms are used to describe abnormal heart rhythms? - ANS-
