6. an excessive growth of hair in locations where hair growth in women is normally minimal is known as:

  • a goitrogenic effect
  • myxedema
  • hirsutism
  • addisonian crisis

7. antidiuretic hormone ( ADH) and oxytocin:

  • are mineralocorticoids
  • stimulate the kidney to excrete Na+ and water
  • are secreted by the neruohypophysis
  • are secreted by the islets of langerhans

8. Catecholamines:

  • are secreted by the adrenal cortex
  • lower plasma glucose levels
  • include epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine
  • include cortisol, aldosterone, and testosterone

9. glugagon

  • is a glucocorticoid
  • is secreted in response to a decrease in blood glucose
  • regulates sodium and water balance
  • is a steroid

10. Insulin and glucagon:

  • elevate blood glucose levels
  • are secreted by the pancreas and are concerned with the regulation of blood glucose
  • are secreted in response to declining plasma levels of glucose
  • are secreted by the beta cells of the islets of langerhans

11. enlargement of the thyroid gland:

  • causes hypocalcemic tetany
  • causes addisonian crisis
  • is called a goiter
  • makes a person appear cushingoid

12. the secretion of cortisol by the adrenal gland suppresses further secretion of ACTH by the anterior pituitary gland what is this interaction called?

  • negative feedback control
  • cerebral lateralization
  • circadian rhythm
  • cellular differentiation

13. oxytocin:

  • is a gonadotropin
  • stimulates the kidney to reabsorb Na+ and water, thereby expanding blood volume
  • is a neurohypophyseal hormone that stimulates the uterine muscle to contract, thereby assisting in labor
  • is a mineralcorticoid

14. what is the stimulus for the release of insulin

  • low blood volume
  • low plasma levels of calcium
  • high plasma levels of glucose
  • high plasma levels of potassium

15. obesity:

  • antagonises insulin
  • causes Na+ and water reabsorption, thereby increasing blood pressure
  • all of the above is true
  • elevates blood glucose levels

16. growth hormone

  • is secreted by the adenohypophysis
  • stimulates growth of the musclosketal system
  • all of the above are true
  • is also called somatotropic hormone

17. The secretion of this gland is described as sympathomimetic

  • pancreas
  • adrenal cortex
  • adrenal medulla
  • parathyroid

18. calcitonin and parathyroid hormone:

  • increase plasma levels of calcium
  • control plasma levels of calcium
  • are both secreted by the parathyroid glands
  • decrease plasma levels of calcium

19. which gland secretes melatonin and is concerned with our biological rhythms?

  • adenohypophysis
  • pineal gland
  • adrenal gland
  • pancreas

20. T3, T4, and calcitonin are:

  • secreted by the thyroid gland
  • steriods
  • secreted by the parathyroid gland
  • secreted in response to declining plasma levels of calcium
