|
3. | Cortisol is released from the: |
|
4. | Calcium is released from bone into the bloodstream due to the action of: |
|
5. | Aldosterone is produced by the ____________ gland and it causes
reabsorption of ________. |
|
6. | Blood calcium is lowered by the hormone: |
|
7. | An oversecretion of GH (or STH) would lead to: |
|
8. | Which pair of hormones act antagonistically? |
|
9. | This hormone would be at an increased level in a mother
who is breast feeding. |
|
10. | GnRH is produced by the ____________ and acts on
the ___________. |
|
11. | Which hormone would increase in the blood during dehydration? |
|
12. | Compared to neurotransmitters, hormones act: |
|
13. | Steroid hormones are made from precursor molecules of: |
|
14. | As the sun comes up in the morning, your blood level of __________ goes down and you wake up. |
|
15. | Which hormone is most commonly associated with the "fight or flight" response to stress? |
|
16. | These two hormones are produced by the hypothalamus but stored in the posterior pituitary. |
|
17. | This hormone from the hypothalamus stimulates release of thyrotropin from the anterior pituitary. |
|
18. | Thyrotropin (or TSH) stimulates the thyroid gland to release: |
|
19. | Thyroxin (or thyroid hormone) travels through the bloodstream acting on many target calls to increase: |
|
20. | Hyposecretion of thyroxin could be caused by a decrease in the release of: |
|
21. | CRH (corticotropin releasing hormone) stimulates the release of _____ from the anterior pituitary. |
|
22. | The major target for ACTH is the: |
|
23. | The overall effect of stimulation by ACTH on the target you chose in the question above is: |
|
24. | Too much ACTH release could cause hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). Since sugar is a solute, this could also cause: |
|
25. | In order to reduce high blood pressure, the hormone _____ could be released to stimulate excretion of sodium thereby reducing blood solutes and hence blood pressure. |
|
26. | Another hormone that can affect blood pressure by directly influencing sodium concentration in the blood is: |
|
27. | Hormones that have similar actions (say, both reduce blood pressure) are said to be: |
|
28. | Choose the pair of hormones that have agonistic effects on blood glucose levels. |
