What is a hormone and how does it act? Hormones are chemical messengers that are responsible for regulation. They are secreted into body fluids, mainly blood. It has specific actions on target tissues, which are any tissue that has specific receptors for that particular hormone. What is a paracrine gland? a secretion that enters interstitial fluid but affects only neighboring cells What is an autocrine gland? A secretion that only affects the secreting cell. What is an en...

1. A student is observing a cell under the microscope. It is observed to have supercoiled DNA with histones. Which of the following would also be observed by the student? a. A single circular chromosome b. A nucleus c. Free-floating nuclear material d. No organelles ANS: B The cell described is a eukaryotic cell, so it has histones and a supercoiled DNA within its nucleus; thus, the nucleus should be observed. A single circular chromosome is characteristic of prokaryotic cells, whic...

UNE medical biochem FINAL |108 Questions | With Complete Solutions. Which of the following urea cycle enzymes catalyzes the reaction hydrolyzing the release of urea from arginine? Arginase Arginase releases urea from arginine through a hydrolytic cleavage. Which of the following enzymes is likely to be active in both the fed and fasted states? Glutaminase Glutaminase in the liver is responsible for freeing ammonia from glutamine. In the fasted state, glutamine will be in excess due t...

3 reflex mechanisms that stimulate hormone secretion Correct Answer: 1.Hormonal Stimulation: stimulus for release of hormones by the binding of another hormone (eg the TSH from anterior pituitary binds to thyroid gland to release TH) 2.Humoral Stimulation: release of hormone in response to change of blood nutrient levels (eg blood glucose levels rise so insulin is released from pancreas, or fall and glucagon is released) 3.Neural Stimulation: direct stimulation from nervous system to endocrin...
