Adrenalin
Which is true of the hormone insulin
It is made in the pancreatic Islets by the alpha cells and its purpose is to reduce circulating glucose by allowing its entry into the cells and liver.
It is made in the pancreatic Islets by the beta cells and its purpose is to reduce circulating glucose by allowing its entry into the cells and liver.
It is made in the pancreatic duct and its purpose is to increase circulating glucose by converting glycogen in the liver, back to glucose.
It is made in the clear cells of the pancreas and its purpose is to increase circulating glucose by converting glycogen in the muscles, back to glucose.
It is made in the pancreatic Islets by the beta cells and its purpose is to reduce circulating glucose by allowing its entry into the cells and liver.
Which of the following is true of calcitonin
Calcitonin inhibits osteoclasts, so prevents a rise in circulating calcium.
Calcitonin enhances the action of osteoblasts so increases circulating calcium.
PTH and Calcitonin inhibit osteoblasts, so prevents a raise in circulating calcium.
Calcitonin increases calcium absorption at the small intestine and prevents loss of calcium via the kidney.
Calcitonin inhibits osteoclasts, so prevents a rise in circulating calcium.
Thymosin is produced by the:
Thyroid, follicular cells
Thymus thymic epithelial cells
Adrenal cortex zona fasciculata
Thyroglobulin follicles
Thymus thymic epithelial cells
The pineal gland produces
Cortisol
Melanin
Melatonin
Leptin
Melatonin
Thyroxine is responsible for influencing which of the following organelles in the target cells:
Nucleus
Lysosome
Golgi apparatus
Mitochondria
Mitochondria
Hormonal and neuronal mechanisms are classed as:
Transport processes
International communication processes
Pheromonal processes
Nutritional processes
International communication processes
Aldosterone is produced by
The kidney
The adrenal cortex
The adrenal medulla
The thyroid
The adrenal cortex
The kidney produces
ADH
Erythropoietin
Aldosterone
The kidney produces no hormones
Erythropoietin
Which statement is true
The pituitary produces releasing hormones that trigger hypothalamic trophic hormone release, these in turn stimulate the endocrine target glands.
The hypothalamus produces releasing hormones that trigger anterior lobe pituitary trophic hormone release, these in turn stimulate the endocrine target glands.
The hypothalamus produces releasing hormones that trigger posterior lobe pituitary trophic hormone release, these in turn stimulate the endocrine target glands.
The hypothalamus produces trophic hormones that trigger the anterior lobe pituitary to produce releasing hormones, these in turn stimulate the endocrine target glands.
* A trophic H. is the same as a stimulating H
The hypothalamus produces releasing hormones that trigger anterior lobe pituitary trophic hormone release, these in turn stimulate the endocrine target glands.
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is responsible for
Maintaining adequate circulating calcium by enhancing
calcium absorption at the gut, enhancing renal clearance and enhancing osteoblast function.
Maintaining adequate circulating calcium by enhancing
calcium reabsorption at the level of the kidney, enhancing calcium absorption at the gut and inhibiting osteoclast function.
Maintaining adequate circulating calcium by enhancing
calcium reabsorption at the level of the kidney, enhancing calcium absorption at the gut and enhancing osteoclast function.
Maintaining adequate circulating calcium by decreasing calcium reabsorption at the level of the kidney, enhancing calcium absorption at the gut and inhibiting osteoclast function.
Maintaining adequate circulating calcium by enhancing calcium reabsorption at the level of the kidney, enhancing calcium absorption at the gut and enhancing osteoclast function.
Which hypothalamic hormones are stored in the posterior pituitary lobe.
ACTH and Oxytocin
ADH and Oxytocin
Prolactin and ADH
Oxytocin and Aldosterone
ADH and Oxytocin
The pineal gland secretes a hormone that
Regulates internal body temperature
Regulates blood pressure and sleep
Regulates circadian rhythms only
Regulates circadian rhythms, sleep patterns and has a minor contribution to reproductive patterns/cycles
