True

b)

False

T3 and T4

b)

Progesterone

c)

LH

d)

Growth Hormones

4.

Under secretion of ADH can cause diabetes I.

a)

True

b)

False

5.

___________ is responsible for milk production, while _____________ is responsible for milk projection (letdown).

a)

PTH; Calcitonin

b)

Prolactin; Oxytocin

c)

Prolactin; LH

d)

Insulin; Glucagon

e)

ADH; Oxytocin

6.

What is not a function of the parathyroid hormone (PTH)?

a)

Its production is stimulated by a decrease in blood calcium levels

b)

Increase formation of vitamin D

c)

Increases Ca2+ reabsorption by the kidneys

d)

Decrease osteoclasts activity

e)

Inhibits osteoblasts

7.

If you have a decrease in blood volume or blood pressure, your body will likely start the release of ADH and __________________.

a)

Melatonin

b)

Prolactin

c)

Aldosterone

d)

Growth Hormone

e)

Oxytocin

8.

This hormone is related to pregnancy as it targets the mother's uterus, by enhancing contraction of smooth muscle cells in uterine wall and dilation of the cervix (positive feedback) and milk ejection (let-down), in response to sucking by infant.

a)

Melatonin

b)

Oxytocin

c)

ADH

d)

PTH

e)

Insulin

9.

Above is a list of functions of the Endocrine System. Which hormone is the major responsible for #3?

a)

Melatonin

b)

T3

c)

ADH

d)

Calcitonin

e)

Insulin

10.

In children, hyper secretion of growth hormone can cause excessive growth, mainly caused by continuous hyperglycemia. This condition is known as Giantism.

a)

True

b)

False

11.

Parathyroid hormone increases blood calcium levels when they drop too low. Conversely, (a)   , which is released from the thyroid gland, decreases blood calcium levels when they become too high. These two mechanisms constantly maintain blood calcium concentration at homeostasis, and these two hormones are antagonistic hormones regarding their effects on blood calcium levels.

12.

Diabetes Insipidus is caused by undersecretion of (a)   , or due to the inability of the kidney to respond to it.

13.

Secretion of ______ and ______ hormones prepares the body for physical activity (fight/flight) by:

a)

Insulin and T3

b)

Melatonin and Epinephrine

c)

LH and Progesterone

d)

Epinephrine and Noepinephrine

e)

No hormone is produced during fight or flight situations

14.

Adipose Tissue produces leptin, which increases and decreases in response to the amount of present body fat. When secreted, it influences energy intake and expenditure by binding to brain neurons causing a decrease in apetite.

a)

True

b)

False

15.

Atria of the heart produces atrial-natriuretic peptide (ANP) hormone when blood pressure is low by targeting the kidneys to increase Na+ reabsorption; so, it will promote an increase in blood pressure and blood volume.

a)

True

b)

False

16.

The zona glomerulosa of the adrenal gland produces a hormone that is responsible for the control ion balance in the body. This hormone is:

a)

Aldosterone

b)

ADH

c)

Cortisol

d)

PTH

17.

Select the correct statement regarding the glucocorticoids.

a)

Cortisol provokes gluconeogenesis

b)

Excessive levels of glucocorticoids increase cartilage and bone formation

c)

Cortisol decreases blood sugar levels

d)

Cortisol provokes lipogenesis

18.

a)

Androgens contribute to sex drive in females

b)

Androgens contribute to the production of milk during pregnancy

c)

Androgens contribute to the onset of puberty

d)

Androgens contribute to the appearance of secondary sex characteristics

19.

Hormones released by the adrenal cortex are responsible for the fight or flight responses.

a)

True

b)

False

20.

The hormone produced by the Pineal Gland, helps regulate sleep-wake cycle.

a)

Growth Hormone

b)

Testosterone

c)

Melatonin

d)

T3

21.

a)

99% of the pancreatic cells produce enzymes and 1% produce hormones

b)

It has both Endocrine and Exocrine functions

c)

Is located posterior to the stomach

d)

Alpha cells of the pancreas produces insulin

22.

The two hormones that control glucose levels in the blood are:

a)

Melatonin and Insulin

b)

T3 an Aldosterone

c)

Insulin and Glucagon

d)

ADH and cortisol

23.

Diabetes I and II: http://openstaxcollege.org/l/pancreas1.

What this video and answer the question

In type I diabetes we have no insulin. So, the person who has type I diabetes has no insulin production. And because of that, the person is not able to store sugar and glycogen, making glucose to be all over the place in our body (remember, insulin binds to receptors in the cell membrane, which allow glucose to enter the cell), which will cause eye nerve an kidney disease very common complications.

In type II diabetes, insulin is produced, but the insulin (a)   are broken. So even if we do produce insulin, and it goes where it is supposed to go in our body, the cells will not be able to take in glucose.

24.

  • Caused by hypersecretion of cortiso;

  • High blood glucose levels, lipid deposits on the face and neck, moon-shaped face, hump on back of neck, rapid weight gain, hair loss;

  • May lead to Type II Diabetes;

  • Causes: pituitary tumor that secretes cortisol or ACTH;

  • Name the disease.
