If a patient is hypoglycemic, which of the following physiological processes will occur in an attempt to correct this situation? ACTH will be released by the posterior pituitary gland to stimulate the adrenal gland, glucocorticoid will be released by the adrenal cortex and increase serum glucose levels, mineralcorticoids will be released by the adrenal cortex and potentiates catecholamine effects, Epinephrine will be secreted by the adrenal cortex in an attempt to increase blood serum glucose levels

Figure 16.14 Goiter, a disease caused by iodine deficiency, results in the inability of the thyroid gland to form T3 and T4 . The body typically attempts to compensate by producing greater amounts of TSH. Which of the following symptoms would you expect goiter to cause? a. Hypothyroidism, resulting in weight gain, cold sensitivity, and reduced mental activity. b. Hyperthyroidism, resulting in weight loss, profuse sweating and increased heart rate. C. Hyperthyroidism, resulting in weight gain, cold sensitivity, and reduced mental activity. d. Hypothyroidism, resulting in weight loss, profuse sweating and increased heart rate.
Addisons disease develops when the adrenal cortex does not secrete enough mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids. President John F. Kennedy was diagnosed with the disease when he was a young man. Before he started treatment with hormone replacement therapy, he was hypoglycemic and lost weight. Which missing hormone was responsible for his weight loss? How might Addisons disease have affected his blood pressure?

Which of the following hormones are NOT released in response to releasing hormones secreted by the hypothalamus? a. FSH and LH b. ADH and prostaglandin c. Oxytocin and thyroxine d. hGH and calcitonin
Which of the following hormones is NOT correctly matched with it's function? adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) - stimulate adrenal cortex to produce glucocorticoids antidiuretic hormone - stimulate kidneys to reabsorb water epinephrine - induces the "fight or flight" response in the body parathyroid hormone - stimulates the thyroid to produce T3 and T4 thyroxine - increases the body's basal metabolic rate
When we perceive a stressful event or situation, our brain enhances our initial stress response by activating the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Which of the following does NOT occur as part of the HPA pathway? A) The hypothalamus activates the sympathetic nervous system by stimulating the adrenal medulla to release epinephrine and norepinephrine. B) The hypothalamus releases corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). C) The pituitary gland releases adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). D) The adrenal cortex releases glucocorticoid hormones into the bloodstream.
Which of the following statements about steroid and non-steroid hormones is false?a. Non-steroid hormones typically act through second messengers such as cAMP.b. Non-steroid hormones are not lipid soluble and cannot enter the target cell.c. Steroid hormones act usually slower than non-steroid hormones.d. Cortisol and aldosterone are non-steroid hormones that are produced by the cortex of the adrenal gland
Which of the following statements best describes diseases of the thyroid gland? Hyperthyroidism is associated with increased metabolism driven by increased sympathetic nervous drive. Children with cretinism have elevated levels of thyroid hormones and catecholamine-induced tachycardia. Hashimoto’s disease is more common in men than women and is associated with a goitre and unexplained weight gain. Grave’s disease is associated with overproduction of antibodies that cause the destruction of the thyroid gland.
Which of the following hormones is NOT correctly paired up with the endocrine gland that produces it? gonadotropic hormone (FSH and LH) - anterior pituitary antidiuretic hormone - adrenal cortex calcitonin - thyroid oxytocin - posterior pituitary parathyroid hormone - parathyroid
