- Identify three hormones other than insulin and glucagon that affect glucose metabolism. Describe the effect of each hormone.arrow_forwardThe endocrine system is composed of glands that secrete hormones that regulate the activity of different body cells. The pituitary gland is often called the "master gland" because it controls the activities of other glands. Discuss a disorder associated with either hypo or hypersecretion of a specific hormone secreted by the pituitary gland. Include in your discussion the answer to the following: What effect will an increase or decrease in production have on the target organs?What signs and symptoms are associated with this condition and how is it treated?arrow_forwardMatch the class of hormone with each of the following hormones or characteristic. cortisol binds to an intracellular receptor 1. peptide insulin 2. amino acid derivative thyroid hormone 3. steroid requires a carrier protein to be carried in the blood >arrow_forward
- At a routine employment physical, a 30-year-old man is found to be mildly hypocalcemic, although he denies any symptoms. He does reveal that he has markedly reduced his consumption of dairy products and leafy greens over the past two months, citing gastrointestinal distress when these items were previously consumed. Analysis of his blood or an intestinal biopsy would be expected to reveal which of the following? Group of answer choices Increased parathyroid hormone secretion Increased formation of 24,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol Decreased amounts of calcium-binding protein in intestinal epithelial cells Increased plasma phosphatearrow_forwardState the action of each of the following hormones:a. triiodothyronineb. insulinc. glucagond. growth hormonee. cholecystokininarrow_forwardGive five (5) differences of steroid hormone and peptide hormone.arrow_forward
- List the major categories of hormones on the basis of their chemical structure. Describe how hormones interact with tissues to produce a response. Describe three methods of regulating the release of hormones.arrow_forwardSelect ALL the statements that are correct. Growth hormone production is inhibited by somatostatin. Growth hormone production is stimulated by the release of the tropic hormone GHRH in the hypothalamus. Growth hormone production is inhibited by IGF-1 which is secreted by the liver. Gigantism and acromegaly differ in that gigantism is due to oversecretion of GHRH, not GH.arrow_forwardDescribe the mechanism of action and the biological effects on the body of each hormone ( Hormones Insulin and glucagon)arrow_forward
