Quiz 3

Question 1

Tropic Hormones

Answer 1

Hormones whose targets are other endocrine glands

Question 2

ADH

Answer 2

Antidiuretic hormone: stimulates water reabsorption

Question 3

Oxytocin

Answer 3

Promotes uterine contractions during labour and stimulates milk production

Question 4

TSH

Answer 4

Thyroid, stimulating hormone: stimulates thyroid to release thyroxin

Question 5

ACTH

Answer 5

Adrenocorticotropic hormone: stimulates adrenal cortex to produce cortisol, aldosterone, and sexual hormones

Question 6

Gonadotropic hormones

Answer 6

FSH: follicle, stimulating hormone
LH: luteinizing hormone

Question 7

FSH

Answer 7

Follicle stimulating hormone
- sperm and egg production

Question 8

LH

Answer 8

Luteinizing hormone
- sex hormone production( testosterone/estrogen plus progesterone)

Question 9

Prolactin

Answer 9

Sustain milk production

Question 10

hGH

Answer 10

Human growth hormone
- Target, soft tissue and bones
- increase protein, synthesis, cell division, growth, breakdown, and release of stored body fat

Question 11

Thyroxin

Answer 11

Stimulated by the release of TSH
- Stimulates most cells to increase metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, proteins

Question 12

Hypothyroidism

Answer 12

Low quantities of thyroxin produced
- lack of growth and mental delays in children
-Fatigue and weight gain in adults

Question 13

Hyperthyroidism

Answer 13

Overproduction of thyroxin
- anxiety, insomnia, and weight loss

Question 14

Calcitonin

Answer 14

Regulates high blood calcium
- lowers blood calcium
- intestines of absorb less, bones deposit more, kidneys, reabsorbed less

Question 15

Parathyroid hormone

Answer 15

Released by parathyroid gland
- increases blood calcium

• intestines absorb more, bones release more, kidneys, reabsorb more

Question 16

Adrenal medulla

Answer 16

Inner layer of the adrenal gland
- short term stress response

Question 17

What is made in the adrenal medulla

Answer 17

Sympathetic neuron, stimulate the production of epinephrin and nor epinephrin

Question 18

What do epinephrine and norepinephrine

Answer 18

Convert glycogen to glucose to raise blood glucose levels
- increase heart rate, breathing rate, dilate, blood vessels, and pupils

Question 19

Adrenal cortex

Answer 19

Outer layer of the adrenal gland
- long-term stress response

Question 20

Cortisol

Answer 20

Stimulated by a ACTH
- raise blood glucose
- natural anti-inflammatory

Question 21

Aldosterone

Answer 21

Mineral corticoid
- Stimulates sodium absorption and potassium secretion levels in the blood
- increase his blood pressure

Question 22

Pancreas

Answer 22

Both an endocrine and exocrine gland

Question 23

Insulin

Answer 23

Produced by the Islet cells and released in response to high blood glucose

Cells take in glucose
Liver stores glucose as glycogen
Fat cells buildup

Question 24

Glucagon

Answer 24

Produced by alpha islet cells and released in response to low blood glucose

Liver converts glycogen to glucose
Fat cells breakdown
Muscle cells breakdown

Question 25

Diabetes mellatus

Answer 25

Results from the body does not produce enough insulin or does not respond properly to insulin - leads to hyperglycemia: high blood glucose levels - experience, fatigue, thirst, excess, urine, production, poor circulation

Question 26

Type 1 diabetes

Answer 26

Insulin dependent: immune system produces antibodies against beta cells - Treated with insulin

Question 27

Type 2

Answer 27

Insulin independent: insulin receptor stop responding to insulin - Treated with diet and exercise
