Anatomy Week 9 Activity Quiz

Identify the gland that secretes prolactin and oxytocin and identify their target tissues.

Hormones are signaling molecules, what does that mean? ANSWER:   Where are the hormones produced? ANSWER:   How are hormones sent around the body? ANSWER:   Why is it that a hormone affects only some of the cells or organs in the body and not all? ANSWER:

pick an endocrine gland of your interest. Imagine a human being lacking the said endocrine gland. Predict what might happen to the individual. How will the absence of the endocrine gland affect the homeostatic events, growth, development, differentiation and multiplication of the body tissues?

Which of the statements is/are incorrect for hormones? 1) Hormones are non-nutrient chemicals serving as intercellular messengers. 2) Hormones are molecules of low molecular weight and are produced in traces. 3) Hormones give energy and also effect metabolism and growth activities of target cells. 4) Many hormones are produced in inactive form.

Name the gland that secretes emergency hormone.

Neuroendocrine glands are glands that are made up of both nervous tissue and endocrine tissue.  This means that they can be directly stimulated by the nervous system to produce or release hormones. i) From what you have learned so far in the course, identify two endocrine glands that are considered to be neuroendocrine.  Be specific.   ii)  Describe a situation/example for each, that demonstrates this function.

Identify the glands in the figure below. List one hormone (full name) produced by each gland and state its function. Use a table to organize your response.

e) Write suitable labels for the regions of the diagram labelled H and I. f) Write a caption that briefly and accurately summarizes what is being depicted in this whole diagram. 4. Examine the graphs and answer the following questions: a) Identify the hormones represented by the letters A, B, C, and D. b) Describe the events that are occurring in the region of the diagram labelled E. c) Identify what is happening at the region of the diagram labelled F. d) Describe the events that are occurring in the region of the diagram labelled G. 1 2 3 4 56 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 1 2 3 4 Days

Name the gland that secretes both hormones and enzymes.

List the anterior pituitary hormones that have the alpha subunit in common. Which other hormone shares the same alpha subunit? Describe in 1-2 sentences if you had to design an immunoassay to detect each of those hormones, how you would ensure that your assay is specific for your hormone of interest?

1) Gross Anatomy and Basic Function of the Endocrine Glands   a)Both the endocrine and nervous systems are major regulating systems of the body; however, the nervous system has been compared to a text message, and the endocrine system to mailing a letter. Briefly explain this comparison. b) Chemically, hormones belong chiefly to two molecular groups, the___ and the___ c) If hormones travel in the bloodstream, why don't all tissues respond to all hormones?

Identify two factors that could influence the nutrients that can pass from the mother to the fetus, and identify the group of hormones that alter cell membrane receptors and explain how this alternation can affect cell function.

Neuroendocrine glands are glands that are made up of both nervous tissue and endocrine tissue.  This means that they can be directly stimulated by the nervous system to produce or release hormones. i) Identify two endocrine glands that are considered to be neuroendocrine.  Be specific.   ii)  Describe a situation/example for each, that demonstrates this function.

Identify major endocrine glands

hi pls choose the letter of the correct answer

we learned that the pituitary gland produces hormones; these hormones are essential to the proper functionality of the body. Choose one hormone to eliminate and discuss the possible repercussions to the body. What would happen if a child didn’t have the hormone? What about an adult?

Name the disease caused due to under secretion of hormone secreted by heterocrine gland.

Even though they are not a hormone, prostaglandins act in a similar way. Shortly answer the following question according to the diagram.   1.Do the prostaglandins serve as a hormonal control system? If so, identify that system and explain your answer.

Name the indicated endocrine glands in the image attached

Which of the following statements about the half-life of hormones is correct? a) Hormones with a short half-life are present in relatively constant amounts in the blood b) Hormones with a short half-life regulate slow functions c) Fat-soluble hormones usually have a relatively long half-life d) Fat-soluble hormone is rapidly broken down by enzymes in the blood circulation e) Water-soluble hormones usually bind to plasma proteins (transport proteins)

Which of the choices listed below is the correct order of events for the action of lipid-soluble hormones? O Hormone diffuses across cell membrane, hormone binds to receptors, translation of new protein, transcription of mRNA, cell's activity is altered. O Hormone binds to DNA, hormone binds to receptors, cell activity is altered, transcription, and translation. O Hormone diffuses across cell membrane, binds to receptors, receptors bind to DNA, transcription of mRNA, translation of new protein, cell's activity is altered. O Hormone binds to receptor, translation of protein, gene expression is turned on, cell's activity is altered. Save for Later Attempts: 0 of 3 used FB Submit Answer
