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
