WorksheetsCH8.5 Explain Hormone Control
Total questions: 20
Worksheet time: 13mins
Which type of endocrine regulation occurs when nerve fibers directly stimulate a gland to release hormones?
Humoral control
Hormonal control
Neural control
Chemical control
The fight-or-flight response is an example of neural control because it involves:
Blood glucose levels changing
Hormones released from other endocrine glands
Direct stimulation of the adrenal medulla by the nervous system
A negative feedback loop
During the fight-or-flight response, which hormones are released from the adrenal medulla?
Insulin and glucagon
Thyroxine and calcitonin
Epinephrine and norepinephrine
Growth hormone and prolactin
In hormonal control, which structure acts as the “president” of the endocrine system by directing the pituitary gland?
Adrenal glands
Hypothalamus
Thyroid gland
Pancreas
When hormone levels from a target gland rise and signal the hypothalamus and pituitary to stop releasing hormones, this is known as:
Positive feedback
Neural regulation
Hormonal amplification
Negative feedback
Which situation best represents humoral control?
Increased heart rate during a scary movie
The hypothalamus releasing TRH
The pancreas releasing insulin in response to high blood glucose
The pituitary releasing TSH
A patient has low blood glucose levels. Which hormone will most likely be released to restore homeostasis?
Insulin
Epinephrine
Glucagon
Cortisol
A student has difficulty falling asleep after using their phone late at night. Which hormone is most likely being disrupted?
Which gland releases the hormone responsible for regulating the sleep–wake cycle?
After skipping a meal, a student feels shaky and weak. Which hormone helps raise blood glucose levels?
Insulin is best described as a hormone that:
allows cells to take in glucose
Which hormone is responsible for rapid increases in heart rate, breathing, and energy during an emergency?
A hormone involved in long-term stress and blood glucose regulation is:
Growth hormone (GH) is released from which gland?
Which hormone stimulates egg production in ovaries and sperm production in testes?
Which hormone is responsible for male secondary sex characteristics such as facial hair and increased muscle mass?
A decrease in blood calcium levels triggers the release of which hormone?
Which hormone helps lower blood calcium levels by promoting calcium storage in bones?
A hormone that programs T-lymphocytes and supports immune system development is:
Categorize the organs as endocrine or exocrine:
Pineal gland
Pituitary gland
Pancreas (islet cells)
Sweat glands
Pancreas (acinar cells)
Parathyroid
Thymus
Prostate
Liver
Lacrimal glands
