Select the two different ways that chemicals that might cause problems with sexual development and reproduction work - Estrogen mimics disrupt the endocrine system by attaching to molecules that except the hormone estrogen - estrogen prevents testosterone from developing. - hormone blockers keep certain hormones from attaching to their receptors. - hormone blockers help certain hormones attach to their receptors.

The table below lists the functions of many of the hormones you have studied. From the keys below, fill in the hormones respon- sible for each function, and the endocrine glands that produce each hormone. Glands may be used more than once.

Should a physician still tell his patient that he injected him with a female hormone instead of an injectable steroid for pain management?

Why does DDT interfere with the normal action of female hormones? O the chemical structure of DDT is similar to the chemical structure of estrogens O DDT causes a decrease in the production of female sex hormones DDT causes an increase in the production of female sex hormones O DDT alters the shape of a cell's receptors for female sex hormones

Human hormones control everything within the body (as well as the behaviors of others around us).  select one hormone and discuss what would happen to the body if it was no longer produced, if too much of it were to appear in the body, and what you could do about it if levels were incorrect.

Label feedback loop of body fluid homeostasis: kidney anatomy (stimulus, sensor, response, set point)

Now that you have shown the endocrine response, think about the negative feedback that will occur when Ca++ levels return to normal. How will the system be turned off? Please describe where negative feedback arrow would be drawn on the diagram. The arrow will begin at: The arrow will end at:

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

Correctly order (from first to last) the steps involved in the Steroid mechanism of hormone action the harmone receptor complex is formed the steroid homorne diffuses into a cell's cytoplasm the hormone-receptor complex transloacates into the cell's nucleus transcription occurs followed by translation a newly formed protein initiates a cellular response the steroid harmone detaches from its protein carrier

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
