- Identify the shortest peptide hormone and explain its function.arrow_forwardWhich of the following outcomes most likely occurs when a sterold hormone like cortisol acts on a target cell?arrow_forwardA major cause of hypersecretion of hormones is a dysfunctional gland. Very high levels of cortisol is found in the blood serum of Patient X. After an injection of dexamethasone (a potent, synthetic cortisol), Patient X's cortisol levels return to normal. Based on your reading, is this condition of Patient X primary hypersecretion, secondary hypersecretion, tertiary hypersecretion, or cannot be diagnosed? Group of answer choices secondary hypersecretion primary hypersecretion tertiary hypersecretion Cannot be diagnosedarrow_forward
