A 38-year-old male is upset about his low sperm count and visits a "practitioner" who commonly advertises his miracle cures of sterility. The practitioner is a quack who treats conditions of low sperm count with megadoses of testosterone. Although his patients experience a huge surge in libido, their sperm count is even lower after hormone treatment.
a) Which two glands would be responsive to the megadose of testosterone?
b) Identify the two hormones that would be affected by the megadose of testosterone. Would their levels increase or decrease?
c) What role, if any, would either of the affected hormones have on the man's reduced sperm count?
1) Gross Anatomy and Basic Function of the Endocrine Glands
a)Both the endocrine and nervous systems are major regulating systems of the body; however, the nervous system has been compared to a text message, and the endocrine system to mailing a letter. Briefly explain this comparison.
b) Chemically, hormones belong chiefly to two molecular groups, the___ and the___
c) If hormones travel in the bloodstream, why don't all tissues respond to all hormones?
1)What tissue regulates both the adenohypophysis and the neurohypophysis? Does this tissue regulate lots of physiological functions? Give a few examples.
2) All of the following are directly controlled by a hormonal stimulus from the hypothalamus EXCEPT…
a)GH, Growth hormone
b) FSH
c) Oxytocin.
d) TSH, Thyroid Stimulating Hormone
3) How would a tumor in cells that produce TSH affect levels of TSH in the blood?
increase / decrease / normal
4) How would this affect hormone secretion by the target cells of TSH?
increase / decrease / normal
