Unlike real life, pandemics in the movies often involve people turning into zombies - in which case many of us would need to run for our lives. Running for your life from zombies requires you to sense and respond to danger. Describe how your sensory, nervous, and endocrine systems would function together to help you survive a zombie apocalypse, including the specific organs, cells, tissues, molecules and/or processes involved.
The nervous and endocrine systems work together to maintain homeostasis. These two systems differ in terms of method of communication, speed of communication, duration of response, target pathway, and actions of effectors.Select the FOUR statements below that describe the endocrine system.
Sends hormones via the bloodstream
Sends hormones via neural pathways or electrochemical transmission
Fast-acting (milliseconds)
Slow-acting (minutes/hours/days)
Causes glands to secrete or muscles to contract
Causes changes in metabolic activities
Acts on specific glands or muscles
Sends hormones to a broad range of target cells

- A hydrophilic peptide hormone is produced in the anterior pituitary gland located at the base of the brain. The hormone targets specific cells in many parts of the body. Which of the following best explains a possible mechanism that would enable the hormone to efficiently reach all the target cells in the body? A. Restate the question and record the right answer. B. Why is this the correct answer?arrow_forwardMelatonin is a hormone derived from serotonin. It is produced in the brain’s light-sensitive pineal gland. The pineal’s secretion of melatonin is depressed by nerve impulses that originate in the retina of the eye and other light-sensitive tissue in the body in response to light. Pineal function is involved in circadian rhythms, patterns of biochemical activity associated with light and dark, such as sleep/wake cycles. Melatonin is also a powerful antioxidant, especially in the central nervous system. After serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) is produced in the pineal gland, it is converted to 5-hydroxy-N-acetyltryptamine by N-acetyltransferase. 5-Hydroxy-Nacetyltryptamine is then methylated by O-methyltransferase. SAM is the methylating agent. With this information, draw the synthetic pathway of melatonin.arrow_forwardWhich of the following responses would NOT occur upon activation of MC2R (G protein coupled receptor that regulates the production of cortisol) ? a. Increased transcription of the genes for the enzymes to make cortisol b. Activation of enzymes required to make cortisol c. Increased transcription of the cortisol gene d. Decreased activity of miRNA that target the enzymes required to make cortisolarrow_forward
- A person forgets to eat breakfast one morning. How would this person's body respond to maintain blood sugar homeostasis? A. The pancreas would release insulin to signal the liver to release stored sugars. B. The pancreas would release glucagon to signal the liver to store blood sugars as glycogen. C. The pancreas would release insulin to signal the liver to store blood sugars as glycogen. D. The pancreas would release glucagon to signal the liver to release stored sugars.arrow_forwardIf a cell were to have an unusually large response to cortisol, what effect would you expect to see? A. The cell would stop all protein synthesis. B. The cell would activate many kinases in the cytoplasm. C. The cell would greatly alter the mRNA being produced. D. There would be extensive changes to protein translation. E. Most G-proteins would become activated. F. Both B & E are correct. G. Both C & D are correctarrow_forwardCortisol facilitates which of the following reactions a). Protein synthesis b). Increased red blood cell production c). Protein and lipid catabolism to synithesize new glucose d). Increase immune responsesarrow_forward
- individually, growth hormone and cortisol each cause a small amount of lipid breakdown in fat cells. When both hormones are present together they cause a very large amount of lipid breakdown. This is an example of _____. synergistic effects of hormones upregulation of hormone secretion due to negative feedback a possitive feedback loop where hormone secretion continues to increasearrow_forwardThe pancreas releases the hormone_______ when blood glucose levels become too high; it causes many cells of the body to take up glucose. When the pancreas produces too little of this hormone, or body cells cannot respond to it, a disorder called________ results._______ is released when blood glucose levels become too low; it causes the liver to break down the starch-like storage molecule_______and release glucose into the blood.arrow_forwardWhich of the following best explains how hormone antagonists work? Multiple Choice By flooding the cancerous cells with hormones By blocking actions of hormones that the cancer cells need to function By competing with uracil or cytarabine and metabolizing the nutrients required for hormone production By inhibiting folic acid, which is essential for blood cell and hormone productionarrow_forward
- Why does epinephrine bind its receptor in a different location than cortisol binds its receptor? A. The receptor binding site of epinephrine must be extracellular because the cell’s membrane is a barrier that prevents epinephrine from reaching any intracellular binding sites. B. The membrane blocks cortisol from entering the cell, therefore cortisol must bind the receptor on the cell’s extracellular surface. C. Cortisol easily passes through the cell’s plasma membrane. Therefore, the cortisol receptor is found intracellularly. D. Epinephrine can dissolve across the plasma membrane and bind its intracellular receptor. E. Both A&C F. Both B&Darrow_forwardA hormone differs from a neurotransmitter in thata. hormones act extracellularly, whereas neurotransmitters act withinthe cell that synthesized them.b. hormones are released only by neurons, whereas neurotransmittersare released by many different types of cells.c. hormones cause only fast responses (seconds or less) to stimuli,whereas neurotransmitters cause slow responses (minutes to hours)to stimuli.d. hormones affect only epithelial cells, whereas neurotransmittersaffect only muscle cells.e. hormones are released into the bloodstream and can activate manycells in many parts of the body, whereas neurotransmitters arereleased by neurons and affect adjacent cells.arrow_forwardWhich 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.arrow_forward
