QuestionAnswer
The direct stimulus for secretion of epinephrine is sympathetic nerve impulses
The direct stimulus for secretion of ADH is dehydration
The direct stimulus for secretion of aldosterone is low blood sodium; low BP
The direct stimulus for secretion of calcitonin is hypercalcemia
The direct stimulus for secretion of PTH is hypocalcemia
The direct stimulus for secretion of glucagon is hypoglycemia
The direct stimulus for secretion of thyroxine is TSH
The direct stimulus for secretion of growth hormone is GHRH
Two hormones that increase the rate of protein synthesis in cells are GH and thyroxine
An important function of thyroxine is that it increases the synthesis of proteins
The mineral iodine is necessary for the synthesis of the hormone thyroxine
Synthesis of thyroxine requires the mineral iodine
The site of action of prostaglandins is usually local
Prostaglandins are produced by most cells from parts of their cell membranes
The hormones necessary for the growth of the endometrium are estrogen and progesterone
In men, the two hormones secreted by the testes are testosterone and inhibin
In women, the two hormones secreted by the corpus luteum are estrogen and progesterone
The direct stimulus for the secretion of estrogen is FSH
The direct stimulus for the secretion of testosterone is LH
The hormones directly necessary for the development of egg cells in the ovary are FSH and estrogen
The hormones directly necessary for the development of sperm in the testes are FSH and testosterone
The hormone that causes vasodilation in skeletal muscle and vasoconstriction in the viscera is epinephrine
The hormone that dilates the bronchioles is epinephrine
The hormone that increases heart rate and slows peristalsis is epinephrine
The effect of epinephrine on the liver is to increase the conversion of glycogen to glucose
The effects of epinephrine are very similar to those of the sympathetic nervous system.
The adrenal hormone that has secondary effects of increasing blood volume and blood pressure is aldosterone
The hormone that conserves glucose for use by the brain is cortisol
Insulin enables cells to take in amino acids and use them for
Blood glucose level is raised by the pancreatic hormone glucagon
Blood glucose level is lowered by the pancreatic hormone insulin
The pancreatic hormone that increases the conversion of glycogen to glucose by the liver is glucagon
The endocrine parts of the pancreas are called islets of Langerhans
The hormone that decreases the blood calcium level is calcitonin
The hormone that increases the blood calcium level is PTH
The target organs of PTH are bones, kidneys, small intestine
The target organs of calcitonin are bones
Secretion of cortisol is stimulated by ACTH from the anterior pituitary gland
Secretion of thyroxine is stimulated by TSH from the anterior pituitary gland
In men, LH stimulates secretion of testosterone
The effect of oxytocin on the mammary glands is to stimulate the release of milk
The effect of oxytocin on the uterus is to cause what contractions
The effect of oxytocin on the uterus is to cause contractions for labor; delivery
The endocrine glands that have two distinct parts are the pituitary gland and adrenal gland
A regulating mechanism that contains its own brake is called a negative feedback mechanism
In a negative feedback mechanism, when the effect of a hormone increases, the secretion of the hormone decreases
The hormones that a cell will respond to are determined by th what on the cell's membrane or in its cytoplasm. receptors
In the two-messenger mechanism of the action of protein hormones, the first messenger is the hormone , which must bond to a what on the cell membrane receptor
Steroid hormones are believed to exert their affects by activating certain what within a cell genes
The endocrine gland that is on the front of the trachea is the thyroid gland and on the back of this gland are the parathyroid glands
The endocrine glands that are on top of the kidneys are the adrenal glands and the gland in the curve of the duodenum is the pancreas
The hormone that directly increases the reabsorption of water by the kidneys is ADH which is secreted by the posterior pituitary gland
The hormone that causes contractions of the uterus is oxytocin which is secreted by the posterior pituitary gland
The hormone that initiates sperm production in the testes is FSH which is produced by the anterior pituitary gland
The hormone that initiates the development of egg cells in the ovary is FSH which is produced by the anterior pituitary gland
The hormone that stimulates secretion of testosterone by the testes is LH pituitary from the anterior pituitary gland
The hormone that stimulates milk production is prolactin from the anterior pituitary
Calcitonin is secreted by the thyroid gland, and its target organs are bones
The hormone that raises the blood calcium level is PTH and the hormone that lowers the blood calcium level is calcitonin
The hormone that enables cells to take in glucose to use for energy production is insulin produced by the pancreas
The pancreatic hormone glucagon is secreted between meals, and what pancreatic hormone is secreted right after meals insulin
The specific cells that produce insulin are beta cells, and they do so when the blood glucose level increases
The specific cells that produce glucagon are what cells, and they do so when the blood glucose level decreases alpha
Glucagon increases the use of what two things for energy production. fats and excess amino acids
Cortisol is secreted by the adrenal cortex, which is the what portion of this gland. outer
The hormone cortisol stimulates most body cells to use fats and what for energy production. excess amino acids
what hormone has an anti-inflammatory effect because it stabilizes the lysosomes within cells cortisol
The hormone aldosterone is secreted by the adrenal cortex, and its target organs are the kidneys
The function of aldosterone is to increase renal reabsorption of sodium ions and excretion of potassium ions
The adrenal hormone that has a secondary effect on blood pH is aldosterone, because it promotes the excretion of hydrogen ions
The adrenal medulla is the inner part of the adrenal gland, and secretes the hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine
The major function of norepinephrine is to stimulate what throughout the body vasoconstriction
The hormone that increases the use of all three food types for energy is thyroxine, which is produced by the waht gland thyroid
The hormone that increases the rate of mitosis in growing tissues is GH, which is produced by the waht gland anterior pituitary
Growth hormone stimulates the transport of amino acids into cells, to be used for the synthesis of proteins
what is the description of Myxedema muscular weakness, slow heart rate,
what is the description of Cretinism severe mental and physical disability
what is the description of Dwarfism minimal growth of long bones very short stature
what is the description of Addison disease Severe dehydration and hypoglycemia
what is the description of Diabetes mellitus cells cannot utilize glucose for energy the blood glucose level rises
match the hormone with the proper stimulus for secretion ADH decreased water content in the body
match the hormone with the proper stimulus for secretion aldosterone Decreased sodium ion concentration in the blood
match the hormone with the proper stimulus for secretion calcitonin Hypercalcemia
match the hormone with the proper stimulus for secretion cortisol ACTH
match the hormone with the proper stimulus for secretion estrogen FSH
match the hormone with the proper stimulus for secretion epinephrine and norepinephrine sympathetic impulses from the hypothalamus during stressful situations
match the hormone with the proper stimulus for secretion FSH GnRH
match the hormone with the proper stimulus for secretion Glucagon Hypoglycemia
match the hormone with the proper stimulus for secretion Growth hormone GHRH
match the hormone with the proper stimulus for secretion Insulin Hyperglycemia
match the hormone with the proper stimulus for secretion LH GnRH
match the hormone with the proper stimulus for secretion Oxytocin Impulses from the hypothalamus during labor or nursing
match the hormone with the proper stimulus for secretion PTH Hypocalaemia
