chapter 9 mastering a and p
hypersecretion of growth hormone could lead to which of the following conditions
acromegaly
how do lipid soluble hormones carry out their actions at their target cells
activate genes and stimulate protein synthesis
which of these endocrine glands is located just above the kidney
adreanal gland
what endocrine gland activates in order to respond quickly
adrenal medulla
which of these is a tropic hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland
adrenocorticotropic hormone ACTH
male sex hormones produced by the adrenal cortex are called
androgens
alcohol suppresses the production of this hormone
antidiuretic hormone ADH
what hormone stimulate the kidneys to reabsorb water as urine is being formed
antidiuretic hormone ADH
steps in high blood glucose
blood glucose becomes high pancreas releases insulin insulin binds to receptors on target cell cells take in glucose blood glucose returns to normal
which of these hormones regulate calcium levels in the body
calcitonin and parathyroid hormone PTH
hypersecretion of glucocorticoids often caused by a tumor resluts in
cushings syndrome
which of the following disorder is a disease of the adrenal gland
cushings syndrome
the efficiency of the endocrine system as a whole gradually declines in old age which of the following is NOT an effect of aging on the endocrine system
decreased mental abilities
the producer of hormones released by the posterior pituitary is
hypothalamus
lena is hypoglycemic to counter this condition which of the following hormones would not be released
insulin
beta cells of the pancreatic islets produce a hormone known as while alpha cells produce a hormone called
insulin glucagon
the element necassary in the diet for proper thyroid function is
iodine
how does the hypothalamus regulate the release of hormones from the anterior pituitary gland
it secretes releasing and inhibiting hormones that travel through the blood anterior pituitary gland
which of the following is NOT an effect of testosterone
maintenance of pregnancy
a hormone called is believed to play an important role in establishing the body day and night cycle
melatonin
which of the folowing is a common age associated condition
menopause
what is the main mechanism for regulating hormone secretion
negative feedback
type 1 diabetes
no insulin is produced
why dont all body cells respond to a particular hormone
only cells that have receptors for the hormone can respond
which of these is liked to the decline in estrogen in menopausal females
osteoporosis
estrogens do all of the following except
stimulate growth of facial hair
tropic hormones
stimulate other endocrine glands to secrete hormones
type 2 diabetes
target cells do not respond normally to insulin
which of these results when hormone secretion is regulated by a negative feedback mechanism
the concentration of a hormone remains within a narrow normal range
which of these occurs when blood glucose concentration falls below the normal range
the pancreas secretes glucagon
a hormone called plays and important role in incubating a special group of white blood cells
thymosin
the gland that produces thymosin
thymus
what role does insulin play in maintaining homestasis
when blood glucose levels are elevated after a meal insulin stimulates glucose uptake by cells to bring glucose levels back to normal
both type 1 and 2
diabetes glucose levels remain higher than normal
jamal visited the doctor to complain about his constant thirst and excessive urination a blood test revealed that jamal had low levels of ADH or antidiuretic hormone what is jamals diagnosis
diabetes insipidus
which of these characteristics of an endocrine gland
ductless
which of these would occur with hyposecretion of adrenal cortical hormones
electrolyte and water imbalance
the fight or flight response trigger the release of
epinephrine
the most common stimulus for prodding endocrine glands into action is
hormonal
which hormones help maintain a relatively constant calcium concentration in the blood
parathyroid hormone PTH and calcitonin
hyposecretion of growth hormone during childhood leads to
pituitary dwarfism
