Lipid soluble steroid hormones do all of the following except: A) Diffuse through the plasma membrane of target B) Enter the nucleus C) Catalyze cyclic AMP (c. AMP) D) Bind to receptor proteins within cell/nucleus Answer Back
Answer = C Steroids do not need to use a second messenger like c. AMP. Back
Name and describe the two mechanisms of hormone action (based on the chemical class of the hormone). Answer Back
Steroid hormone action (Class-steroid based, lipid-soluble) (Direct gene activation) and Nonsteroid hormone action (Class-amino acid based, water soluble) (Second-messenger system) Back
Name the 3 major categories of stimuli that activate the endocrine organs. Answer Back
Hormonal, humoral, and neural (Hint: This is essay question. List and describe!) Back
This mechanism is the chief means of regulating blood levels of nearly all hormones. Answer Back
Negative feedback mechanism Back
Defined as chemical substances that are secreted by endocrine cells into the extracellular fluid, these molecules are usually transported by the blood to their target cells/organs. Answer Back
Hormones Back
These 6 hormones are produced by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. Answer Back
Growth hormone (GH) Prolactin (PRL) Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) Luteinizing hormone (LH) Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) Back
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is also called by this name due to its ability to increase blood pressure by constricting arterioles. Answer Back
Vasopressin Back
These 2 hormones work together to control blood sugar level and are formed from these Islets of Langerhans cells of the pancreas respectively. Answer Back
Insulin, beta cells Glucagon, alpha cells Back
This hormone’s primary functions are to trigger ovulation in females and to stimulate testosterone production in males. Answer Back
Luteininzing hormone (LH) Back
This hormone stimulates follicle development in the ovaries (ova) and testis (sperm). Answer Back
Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) Back
This hormone promotes the reabsorption of sodium by the kidney tubules back into the blood. Answer Back
Aldosterone Back
This group of adrenal cortex hormones increase blood glucose levels, suppress inflammation and decrease edema. Answer Back
Glucocorticoids (cortisol and cortisone) Back
The functions of this hormone include stimulation of uterine contractions, breast milk ejection, and labor induction. Answer Back
Oxytocin Back
This hormone produced by the pineal gland helps to regulate our sleep/wake cycle. Answer Back
Melatonin Back
The maturation of white blood cells known as T lymphocytes is controlled by thymosin which is produced by this endocrine gland. Answer Back
Thymus gland Back
Hypersecretion of this hormone (usually caused by a tumor) may produce Graves’ disease; characterized by bulging eyes, high basal metabolic rate (BMR), rapid heartbeat, and agitation. Answer Back
Thyroid hormones: Thyroxine (T 4) and Triiodothyronine (T 3) Back
Hyposecretion of this hormone may cause cretinism in the child with some retardation and myxedema in the adult with mental sluggishness. Answer Back
Thyroid hormones: Thyroxine (T 4) and Triiodothyronine (T 3) Back
Hyposecretion of Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) leads to this condition which is characterized by excessive urine output. Answer Back
Diabetes insipidus Back
Hyposecretion of this hormone leads to diabetes mellitus. This can cause acidosis when fat has to be used for energy. Answer Back
Insulin Back
This disorder occurs due to the hypersecretion of growth hormone in children. Answer Back
Gigantism Back
Hyposecretion of the mineralocorticoids (and glucocorticoids) leads to this disease that can be characterized by a peculiar bronzing of the skin. Answer Back
Addison’s disease Back
Hypersecretion of the glucocorticoids leads to this disease of which symptoms may include “buffalo hump, ” “moon face, ” hypertension and hyperglycemia. Answer Back
Cushing’s syndrome Back
Hypersecretion of growth hormone in the adult causes this disorder which is characterized by enlargement of the face, feet and hands. Answer Back
Acromegaly Back
This disorder is characterized by a standing height of less than 4 feet and normal body proportions Answer Back
Pituitary dwarfism Back
Steps taken to prevent this disorder included the addition of iodine to salt. Answer Back
Goiter Back
Category 6 500 pts Enter question here These descriptors are known as the 3 cardinal signs of diabetes. Answer Back
Polyuria, polydipsia and polyphagia Back
This hormone is produced by the developing embryo to prevent menses and its later production is taken over by the placenta. Answer Back
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (h. CG) Back
This enzyme, produced by the kidneys when blood pressure is too low for proper filtration, stimulates the release of aldosterone from the adrenal cortex. Answer Back
Renin Back
These 2 hormones, collectively called catacholamines, are Enter question here produced from the adrenal medulla under direct SNS stimulation. Answer Back
Epinephrine and norepinephrine Back
These 3 hormones are produced by the gonads, ovaries and testis, respectively. Answer Back
Ovaries: Estrogen and progesterone Testis: Testosterone Back
Enter question here These are the 5 major processes controlled by hormones. Answer Back
1. Reproduction 2. Growth and development 3. Mobilization of body defenses (against stressors) 4. Maintenance of homeostasis in blood (water, electrolytes, & nutrients) 5. Regulation of metabolism (cellular metabolism & energy balance)
