endocardium
epicardium
pericardium
myocardium
The endocrine system uses _______________________ to achieve long-lasting signalling effects in the body.
bioelectrical signals
hormones
ionic imbalances
neurotransmitters
T of F: Protein based hormones require a second messenger, as they cannot pass through the cell membrane themselves.
T of F: Secretions of exocrine glands are transported through ducts of the gland.
T or F: Oxytocin causing stronger and stronger uterine contractions during birth is an example of a negative feedback mechanism.
Which of the following glands is primarily responsible for making hormones causing female development of sex characteristics?
testes
ovaries
pituitary
thymus
The ___________________________ gland helps control cellular metabolic rate in humans.
pineal
thyroid
thymus
parathyroid
The adrenal glands are positioned superior to which organ(s)?
the brain
the kidneys
the liver
the gonads
The "master gland" controlling others by releasing FSH to stimulate their function is officially known as
the parathyroid.
the pancreas
the pituitary.
the pineal gland.
T or F: An elevated level of blood calcium will stimulate release of calcitonin by the thyroid to reduce calcium concentration.
Over secretion of this hormone can cause hypertrophy of bones and muscles in humans.
thyrocalcitonin
growth hormone
glucagon
testosterone
The tube-like structure storing sperm in males is known as the:
vas deferns
epididymis
testis
scrotum
Which mechanism best describes hormonal recognition of target cells?
higher ion concentration in the blood
direction by the pituitary gland
neural stimulation of target organ
cell membrane protein receptors
Snacking can cause a spike in blood sugar, which stimulates release of
TSH
glucagon.
insulin.
FSH
Antidiuretic hormone can be used in the treatment of

T or F: Birth control pills are usually a synthetic form of the hormones progesterone and estrogen.
The sequence of: (1) vascular spasm, or vasoconstriction, a brief and intense contraction of blood vessels; (2) formation of a platelet plug; and (3) blood clotting or coagulation, which reinforces the platelet plug with fibrin mesh that acts as a glue to hold the clot describes _________________.
homeostasis
thermogenesis
hemostasis
oogenesis
Why is blood considered a connective tissue?
Blood flows directly to all cells of the human body.
Blood is made of a fluid matrix with cells suspended in it.
Blood can coagulate and bond torn tissues.
All humans have one of four blood types.
While erythrocytes transport oxygen in blood, leukocytes primarily
clot blood after injury.
fight infection by foreign bodies.
signal muscle cells to contract.
remodel nerve tissue.
A patient that can receive any blood donation would have:
A, B and Rh [AB+] antigen types.
O- antigen types.
only A antigen type.
only B antigen type.
The fallopian tube is an important reproductive structure because:
it is where egg cell production occurs.
it produces estrogens.
it houses the developing fetus.
it is where fertilization of the egg normally happens.
The carotid arteries supply blood to
the brain, neck and the face.
the hepatic circulation.
the large intestine.
the small intestine.
A plus [+] symbol behind the blood type letter shows the
presence of A and B antigens.
absence of Rh protein antigens.
presence of Rh protein antigens.
absence of any protein antigen.
