1.) What is the functions of hormones

(Ch. 10 - Endocrine System) - If you haven't eaten for a few hours and your blood sugar is low, an appropriate response of the endocrine system would be to release: a) insulin b) glucagon c) cortisol d) A and B e) B and C Page 39 of 50

(Ch. 10 - Endocrine System) - Which of the following could lead to hypothyroidism? a) damage to the hypothalamus Ob) damage to the pituitary gland O c) damage to the thyroid gland d) A, B, and C Page 1 of 50 e) B and C only

1. Make a flow chart or schematic diagram showing a negative feedback loop relating to a hormone (or pair of hormones). Be sure to include: a. What stimulates the hormone's release b. Where the hormone (or hormones) is/are released from c. Effect of the hormone d. The negative feedback mechanism that "turns off the hormone

A group of college students is restricted to four hours of sleep per night for five days. After this time, the students are given a glucose tolerance test and are found to be pre-diabetic. Researchers hypothesize that the lack of sleep triggered the body to respond as if it were undergoing long-term stress. The hormone that is released in response to long-term stress and its effect on blood glucose levels are, respectively: Select one: a. Hormone Effect on Blood Glucose Levels Cortisol Raises blood glucose levels b. Hormone Effect on Blood Glucose Levels Cortisol Lowers blood glucose levels c. Hormone Effect on Blood Glucose Levels Adrenaline Lowers blood glucose levels d. Hormone Effect on Blood Glucose Levels Adrenaline Raises blood glucose levels

Which of the following best explains how hormone antagonists work?   Multiple Choice   By flooding the cancerous cells with hormones   By blocking actions of hormones that the cancer cells need to function   By competing with uracil or cytarabine and metabolizing the nutrients required for hormone production   By inhibiting folic acid, which is essential for blood cell and hormone production

What does the feedback loop for Vincent look like? be sure to indicate all the hormones and glands involved in the feedback loop. indicate whether the hormone levels are increasing or decreasing. use arrows to indicate the direction of influence and label whether it is a negative or positive feedback.

Which of the following correctly describes the functions of the endocrine system? a. Transport of blood through the body and through the lungs b. Regulation of body functions through hormone secretion c. Regulation of body functions through nerve impulses d. Immunity and returning extra tissue fluid to the blood vessels

The ability of a specific tissue or organ to respond to the presence of a hormone is dependent on a) the location of the tissue or organ with respect to the circulatory path O b) the membrane potential of the cells of the target organ c) the presence of the appropriate receptors on the cells of the target tissue or organ

If a patient is hypoglycemic, which of the following physiological processes will occur in an attempt to correct this situation?  A). ACTH will be released by the posterior pituitary gland to stimulate the adrenal gland, B).glucocorticoid will be released by the adrenal cortex and increase serum glucose levels, C). mineralcorticoids will be released by the adrenal cortex and potentiate catecholamine effects, D). epinephrine will be secreted by the adrenal cortex in an attempt to increase blood serum glucose levels.
