Question
Answer
neurosecretory cells   neurons of the hypothalamus that secrete neurohormone rather than neurotransmitter  
🗑
prostaglandins   biologically active lipids which produce many effects in the body, including smooth muscle contractions, inflammation, and pain  
🗑
The ___________ system responds much more quickly than the __________________ system   nervous, endocrine  
🗑
The influence of the ____________________ system lasts longer than that of the ________________ system.   endocrine, nervous  
🗑
The nervous system controls ______________and ____________, while the endocrine system controls virtually every ___________ in the body.   muscles, glands, cell  
🗑
The nervous system is more _____________________ to repair than the endocrine system.   difficult  
🗑
Hormones must be carried in the blood. If a hormone can't dissolve in water, it will need a __________________________in order to be transported by the blood, which is mostly water.   carrier protein  
🗑
Hormones are eliminated by the _________________ in the urine and the ____________________ in the feces.   kidneys, liver  
🗑
Amines, steroids, peptide/proteins   three types of hormones  
🗑
___________________ stimulate membrane-bound receptors only because they are too big to get into the cell.   peptide/proteins  
🗑
_____________ stimulate intracellular receptors only, because the are fat-soluble and can diffuse right through the cell membrane.   steroids  
🗑
______________ stimulate both membrane-bound receptors and intracellular receptors, depending on the particular hormone.   amines  
🗑
In _______________________________, the nervous sytem innervates the gland with neurons. Those neurons secrete neurotransmitter to stimulate the gland to secrete the hormone, or the neurons secrete the hormone directly as a neurohormone.   direct neural control  
🗑
In _________________, one gland releases a hormone which will stimulate another gland to release a different hormone.   hormone control  
🗑
The level of a particular hormone in the body varies markedly, but can be predicted based on the day that it is measured. Which pattern of secretion is this?   cyclic  
🗑
When a hormone interacts with a receptor, stimulating the cell to synthesize and secrete a new protein, the receptor is _________________________.   intracellular  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
