Hormones

Question 0

Link the hormones with the appropriate physiological process:
Body fluid composition, reproduction, growth + metabolism, stress

Answer 0

Body fluid composition = insulin
Reproduction = oxytocin
Growth + metabolism = thyroxine
Stress = cortisol

Question 1

Classify the hormones according to their chemical composition:
Protein, steroid, amine

Answer 1

Protein = oxytocin
Steroid = cortisol
Amine = noradrenaline

Question 2

Match the hormone with the gland:

Pituitary, adrenal, thyroid, pancreas, pineal, ovary

Answer 2

Pituitary = adrenocorticotrophic hormone
Adrenal = epinephrine 
Thyroid = thyroxine
Pancreas = glucagon
Pineal = melatonin
Ovary = oestrogen

Question 3

Match the statement with the type of gland:
Has effect on target tissue, involved in digestion lubrication + protection, secretes directly into blood, has ducts, secretes into a cavity, has no ducts

Answer 3

Has effect in target tissue = endocrine gland
Involved in digestion lubrication + protection = exocrine gland
Secretes directly into blood = endocrine gland
Has ducts = exocrine gland
Secretes into a cavity = exocrine
Has no ducts = endocrine

Question 4

Identify the organ or tissue that doesn’t produce a hormone …

Answer 4

Bone

Question 5

What determines the magnitude of the target tissue response to a hormone?

Answer 5

Number of receptors and blood concentration of hormone

Question 6

What is involved in the thyroid hormonal cascade?

Answer 6

Thyroid gland, hypothalamus and anterior pituitary

Question 7

Which gland secretes thyrotropin releasing hormone?

Answer 7

Hypothalamus

Question 8

Which of the following hormones operate antagonistically to each other: glucagon, insulin, oxytocin, progesterone, prolactin, oestrogen

Answer 8

Glucagon and insulin

Question 9

Which of the following hormones operate permissively to each other: oestrogen, glucagon, prolactin, oxytocin, insulin, progesterone

Answer 9

Oestrogen and progesterone
