Chapter 7, Problem 5RQ
Put the following steps for identifying an endocrine gland in order:
- a. Purify the extracts and separate the active substances.
- b. Perform replacement therapy with the gland or its extracts and see if the abnormalities disappear.
- c. Implant the gland or administer the extract from the gland to a normal animal and see if symptoms characteristic of hormone excess appear.

- Which of the following statements about endocrine targeting and reception is correct? a. The idea that one hormone affects one type of tissue is illustrated when epinephrine cannot adivate both the receptors on liver cells and the beta receptors of heart muscle. B. The idea that the response to a hormone is the same amling different target cells is shown when diferent liver cells are activated by insulin. C. The idea that one hormone affects one type of tissue is illustrated when epinephrine binds to smooth cells in blood vessels, as well as to beta cells in heart muscle d. The idea that a minute concentration of hormone can cause widespread effects demonstrates the specificity if cells for certain hormones. E. The idea that a target cell can responds to more than one hormone is illustrated by a vertabrate liver cell responding to insulin and glucagon.arrow_forward1) Hormone pathologies often manifest with elevated or lower hormones. The underlying cause may differ. What symptoms would be associated with hyperthyroidism? 2) Autoimmune disease in which auto-antibodies stimulate the TSH receptor (TSHR) on the thyroid gland. How would this affect levels of TRH, TSH, and TH? Draw out the H-P-T axis to illustrate changes in each hormone. 3) What symptoms would be associated with hypothyroidism? 4) How could this disease be treated? When the thyroid cells are destroyed, they cannot make hormones anymore and TH replacement needs to be given.arrow_forwardSpecific hormone binding proteins: a. Can only bind to steroid hormones b.

- Which of the statements is/are incorrect for hormones? 1) Hormones are non-nutrient chemicals serving as intercellular messengers. 2) Hormones are molecules of low molecular weight and are produced in traces. 3) Hormones give energy and also effect metabolism and growth activities of target cells. 4) Many hormones are produced in inactive form.arrow_forwardNeuroendocrine glands are glands that are made up of both nervous tissue and endocrine tissue. This means that they can be directly stimulated by the nervous system to produce or release hormones. i) From what you have learned so far in the course, identify two endocrine glands that are considered to be neuroendocrine. Be specific. ii) Describe a situation/example for each, that demonstrates this function.arrow_forwardPart of the "fountain of youth" solution may lie in hormonal control.
