Chapter 49, Problem 7TYU
Summary Introduction
Concept introduction: The adrenal glands are paired and pyramid-shaped endocrine glands. They are located on the superior surface of the kidney. Both adrenal glands are surrounded within fat and fascia to minimize their movements. Each adrenal gland consists of two regions: adrenal cortex, and adrenal medulla.

What are the two hormones released from the posterior pituitary?
a. mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid
b. luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone
c. epinephrine and norepinephrine
d. oxytocin and vasopressin
When mechanical force is absorbed by a sensory receptor, the energy is transduced into a local depolarization or hyperpolarization that can be large or small depending on the strength of the stimulus. What is this called?
a. an opponent process
b. an action potential
c. a graded receptor potential
d. conscious awareness of sensation
Which of these associations is mismatched?a. atrial natriuretic hormone (ANH)—secreted by the heartb. renin—secreted by the anterior pituitaryc. aldosterone—secreted by the adrenal cortexd. antidiuretic hormone (ADH)—secreted by the posterior pituitary
ADH is: a. produced in the posterior pituitary b. a neural hormone c. carried in the blood bound to the protein neurophysin d. produced in the hypothalamuse. b and d
Actions of ADH include: a. stimulation of ACTH synthesis and secretion b. inhibition of renal cAMP production c. antagonism of the actions of oxytocin d. inhibition of the sensation of thirst e. b and c
