Pineal gland Adrenal glands Small intestine Hypothalamus Pituitary glandarrow_forwardWhich of the following systems DOES NOT share interrelated functions with the Endocrine System? Respiratory system Nervous system Cardiovascular system Reproductive systemarrow_forwardWhy can a single endocrine hormone produce a wider spread of responses in more of the body than a single nerve cell? Group of answer choices Blood can carry all the same hormones throughout the body simultaneously, producing responses all over the body; nerve cells can only target a small number of cells. Nerve cells and blood work together. The endocrine has nothing to do with the nervous system. Endocrine hormones only target a very small number of precise responses. A single hormone can target many different responses, whereas a nerve only targets a single response.arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements are false regarding the endocrine (hormones) in comparison to the paracrine system? (there may be more than one answer) Hormones are less stable than paracrine signals Hormones have a lower affinity for their receptors than paracrine signals Hormones are produced in a greater quantity than are paracrine signals Hormones are produced by most cell types; paracrine signals are only produced as a response to an insult (wound or infection). Hormones are produced from cells at a greater distance to their response elements than paracrine signaling.arrow_forwardWhich 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 productionarrow_forwardBecause of a pathophysiological situation, a patient's kidneys are not able to successfully participate in turning vitamin D into its active form.

- Thy thyroid gland is part of the Hypothalamic-Pitutitary-Thyroidal Axis. What is a hormonal axis? A hormonal axis is a cascade of hormone release which involves more than 3 endocrine glands A hormonal axis is a positive feedback loop that results in the end of a body process A hormonal axis is a series of events that initiates the fight or flight response An axis is a hormonal imbalance that results in an overactive thyroid glandarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is not true of the endocrine system? Select one: A. Most of its components are not anatomically connected, unlike most other systems of the body. O B. It is one of two major regulatory systems of the body O C. It is an important regulator of homeostatic mechanisms. O D. The nervous and endocrine systems often overlap in function. O E. It is composed of glands that secrete chemical messengers through ducts into the blood.arrow_forwardList the THREE statements that describe the endocrine system.
