?
The endocrine system includes one of the following glands
The adrenal glands
1 of 21
Lipid soluble hormones like the steroid hormones
Have intracellular receptors
2 of 21
Hormones are
Some made of protein, others cholesterol- based lipids and
others a mixture of protein and other elements
3 of 21
An example of a hypothalamic hormone is below
GnRH
4 of 21
An example of a hypothalamic hormone that will be stored in the posterior pituitary is
ADH
5 of 21
The neurons from the hypothalamus that deliver hypothalamic
hormones to the Anterior pituitary are
Short neurons that deposit their cargo to blood vessels destined for the anterior pituitary
6 of 21
Thyroid hormones are
Thyroxine (T3 and T4) plus calcitonin
7 of 21
The adrenal medulla produces
Adrenalin
8 of 21
Thymosin is produced by the
Thymus thymic epithelial cells
9 of 21
The pineal gland produces
Melatonin
10 of 21
Hormonal and neuronal mechanisms are classed as
International communication processes
11 of 21
Aldosterone is produced by
The adrenal cortex
12 of 21
The kidney produces
Erythropoietin
13 of 21
Which statement is true
The hypothalamus produces releasing hormones that trigger anterior lobe pituitary trophic hormone release, these in turn stimulate the endocrine target glands.
14 of 21
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is responsible for
Maintaining adequate circulating calcium by enhancing
calcium reabsorption at the level of the kidney, enhancing calcium absorption at the gut and enhancing osteoclast function.
15 of 21
Which hypothalamic hormones are stored in the posterior pituitary lobe
ADH and Oxytocin
16 of 21
The pineal gland secretes a hormone that
Regulates circadian rhythms, sleep patterns and has
a minor contribution to reproductive patterns/cycles
17 of 21
All the hypothalamic hormones have
B and C are correct (Communicate with the pituitary in some way & Are mainly stimulatory, but some are inhibitory)
18 of 21
The hormones are directly associated with stress are
Adrenalin and cortisol
19 of 21
Androgen manufacture in its entirety occurs in
Male (most) and female gonads (less) and adrenal cortex in females and males
20 of 21
Therapeutic insulin is injected not swallowed because
Insulin would be denatured by HCl and digested by pepsin
