Unit 3 Quizes

Question 1

Plays a crucial role during childbirth, lactation, and social bonding

Answer 1

oxytocin

Question 2

A glucocorticoid involved in the regulation of plasma glucose, promoting protein breakdown for gluconeogenesis, stimulating fatty acid mobilization, and inhibiting glucose uptake into cells.

Answer 2

cortisol

Question 3

Essential for muscle growth, stimulates the release of insulin-like growth factors, enhances long bone growth, increases gluconeogenesis, and mobilizes fatty acids from adipose tissue.

Answer 3

growth hormone

Question 4

Myokine that, when produced in response to exercise, exerts anti-inflammatory effects and promotes beneficial adaptations

Answer 4

interlukant-6

(made by muscle in response to exrecise)
(inflamitory aspect)

Question 5

Influences resting metabolic rate and acts as a permissive hormone, enabling the full effect of other hormones

Answer 5

Thyroxine

Question 6

Catecholamine that is part of the “fight or flight” response, affecting heart rate, glycogenolysis, lipolysis, vasodilation, and bronchodilation,

Answer 6

Epinephrine

Question 7

Posterior pituitary hormone that reduces water loss to maintain plasma volume and favors reabsorption of water from kidney tubules.

Answer 7

ADH or vasopressin

Question 8

Primary hormone in preserving or increasing plasma calcium regulation, stimulates calcium release from bone and reabsorption by kidneys.

Answer 8

Parathyroid hormone

Question 9

An androgenic and anabolic steroid released from the testes, promoting masculine characteristics and tissue building

Answer 9

Testosterone

Question 10

Secreted by adipose tissue, it suppresses appetite, enhances insulin sensitivity, and promotes fatty acid oxidation.

Answer 10

Leptin

Question 11

Secreted by the pancreas, it promotes the mobilization of fatty acids and glucose, thus preserving blood glucose levels.

Answer 11

Glucagon

Question 12

Released from ovaries, it is essential for establishing and maintaining reproductive function.

Answer 12

Estrogen

Question 13

Involved in plasma calcium regulation by decreasing osteoclast activity and stimulating excretion by kidneys, thereby lowering plasma calcium levels.

(stop chewing up bone)

Answer 13

Calcitonin

Question 14

Secreted by the pancreas, it lowers blood glucose by promoting the cellular uptake and storage of glucose.

Answer 14

insulin

(only hormone that lowers blood glucose)

Question 15

A mineralocorticoid involved in the maintenance of plasma sodium and potassium, important for body water balance, blood volume, and blood pressure.

Answer 15

aldosterone

Question 16

Parasympathetic withdrawal

Question 17

beta-blockers

Question 18

end-diastolic volume

Question 19

Frank-Starling mechanism

Question 20

skeletal muscle pump

Question 21

cardiac output

Question 22

plasma

Question 23

blood flow resistance
