Which of the following are correct? Most hormones help maintain homeostasis and therefore operate and are controlled by negative feedback loops. A mother is lactating. The two hormones involved with milk production and milk ejection are Oxytocin and Prolactin respectively. UIf my blood glucose levels are low (depressed), my body would respond in a positive feedback fashion by producing glucagon'to increase my glucose levels. Damage to the anterior pitutary gland could disrupt the release of oxytocin and ADH. We might suspect that the kidneys and cardiovascular system would be adversely impacted by damage to the posterior pituitary. A patient has an abnormally low blood calcium level, one would expect the levels of Calcitonin might be elevated in an attempt to return the body to homeostasis.

Prolactin does which of the following?a. stimulates breast milk secretionb. stimulates breast milk productionc. inhibits breast milk secretiond. inhibits breast milk production
Positive feedback mechanism initiates the rhythmic contractions of labor. Determine the hormones involved in this feedback loop. a. relaxin and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) b. prostaglandins and oxytocin c. cortisol and aldosterone d. estrogens and progesterone
Which of the following is an example of negative feedback?a. Uterine contractions increase as labor progresses.b. Insulin decreases blood sugar levels after a meal is eaten.c. Sweating increases as body temperature drops.d. Platelets continue to plug an opening in a blood vessel untilblood fl ow stops.
increased levels of estrogen and progesterone will result in ( negative, positive, increase, decrease) feedback to the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary to ( negative, positive, increase, decrease), ( LH, FSH, GnRh, LH AND FSH) production. This normally occurs during the ( FOLLICULAR STAGE, LUTEAL STAGE ) Decreased levels of estrogen and progesterone will result in ( negative, positive, increase, decrease) feedback to the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary to ( negative, positive, increase, decrease), (LH, FSH, GnRh, LH AND FSH) production. This normally occurs during the ( FOLLICULAR STAGE, LUTEAL STAGE ). Extremely high levels of estrogen near the end of the follicular phase will result in ( negative, positive, increase, decrease) feedback to the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary to release a large amount of ( LH, FSH, GnRh, LH AND FSH) to trigger ovulation. Some hormones are used in oral contraceptive pills to suppress the release of ( LH, FSH, GnRh, LH AND FSH) Without…
The TISSUES THAT DIFFERENTIATE to form the pancreas are derived from a) epithelial cells from the endoderm b) smooth muscle cells from the endoderm c) connective tissue from the endoderm d) nervous tissue from the ectoderm e)all are true
During lactation, the suckling by the baby stimulates the production of oxytocin, which in turn causes contraction of smooth muscles surrounding the milk duct, causing milk flow. The flow of milk increases the suckling by the baby and more oxytocin is produced. A. Identify the feedback system described above. Explain B. What would end the feedback loop?
Which of the following statements regarding pituitary hormones is FALSE? Group of answer choices Luteinizing hormone, an anterior pituitary hormone, triggers ovulation of an egg from the ovary and causes the ruptured follicle to produce progesterone and some estrogens. Antidiuretic hormone, released by the posterior pituitary, causes urine volume to increase and blood volume to decrease The hypothalamus makes oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone, which are transported the posterior pituitary for storage. Hyposecretion of follicle-stimulating hormone or luteinizing hormone leads to sterility in both males and females.
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
The graph shows the blood-glucose levels and insulin levels of an individual. Blood-glucose levels are controlled by a feedback loop that involves the hormone insulin. Which of the following statements best explains the role of insulin in this feedback loop? Insulin controls the blood-glucose level in a positive feedback loop. As the level of blood glucose rises above a normal set point, the level of insulin increases to raise the blood-glucose level even higher. Insulin controls the blood-glucose level in a negative feedback loop. As the level of blood glucose rises above a normal set point, the level of insulin increases to raise the blood-glucose level even higher. Insulin controls the blood-glucose level in a positive feedback loop. As the level of blood glucose rises above a normal set point, the level of insulin increases to lower blood-glucose back to the normal level. Insulin controls the blood-glucose level in a negative feedback loop. As the level of blood glucose…
