which of the following endocrine glands are stimulated by a humoral stimulus? choose two answers
thyroid gland, pancreas, adrenal gland, parathyroid glands
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
Which hormone is not correctly paired up with its function?
O hGH: promotes skeletal and muscle growth
TSH: stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroxine
ACTH: stimulates the adrenal medulla to produce cortisol
O All of the hormones are correctly paired up with its function.

- Figure 37.14 Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland is overactive. Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland is underactive. Which of the conditions are the following two patients most likely to have? Patient A has symptoms including weight gain, cold sensitivity, low heart rate, and fatigue. Patient B has symptoms including weight loss, profuse sweating, increased heart rate, and difficulty sleeping.arrow_forwardFigure 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.arrow_forwardAddisons 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?arrow_forward
- A physician sees a patient whose symptoms include sluggishness, depression, and intolerance to cold. After eliminating other possible causes, the doctor diagnoses a hormone problem. What disorder fits the symptoms? Why does the doctor suspect that the underlying cause is a malfunction of the anterior pituitary gland?arrow_forwardThe pituitary detects a rising hormone concentration in blood and inhibits the gland that is secreting the hormone. This is a ___________ feedback loop. a. positive b. negativearrow_forwardWhich statement best describes the relationship between the Endocrine and Nervous Systems? Both systems work with the Urinary System to maintain acid-base balance in the blood Both systems regulate hair growth, temperature regulation, and hydration Both systems modulate the stress response, sleep/wake cycles, and metabolism Both systems work with the Urinary System to activate Vitamin Darrow_forward
- Because of a pathophysiological situation, a patient's kidneys are not able to successfully participate in turning vitamin D into its active form. Over the time, which endocrine gland will increase its secretion in response to this situation?

Thyroid stimulating hormone Parathyroid hormone V Epinephrine Growth hormone Insulin Testosteronearrow_forwardIf 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 levelsarrow_forward
