9 Questions
Match the hormone with its function:
Prolactin = Stimulates milk production Growth hormone = Stimulates growth in childhood and muscle/bone mass maintenance Myostatin = Inhibits muscle growth ACTH = Stimulates cortisol production
Match the condition with its description:
Dwarfism = Result of problems with growth hormones Gigantism = Result of problems with growth hormones Achondroplasia = Most common type of dwarfism Robert Wadlow = Known as 'The Alton Giant', 8’11” tall
Match the hormone with its effect on the body:
Cortisol = Helps maintain blood pressure and glucose levels Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) = Stimulates thyroid gland to make thyroid hormones Luteinizing hormone (LH) = Regulates testosterone in men and estrogen in women Dopamine = Effect on milk production
Match the hormone-related term with its meaning:
Myostatin inhibitor drugs = Developed to treat muscle-wasting diseases like muscular dystrophy Cortisol blockers = Claimed by many diet aids to reduce stress hormone levels Stress-induced fat deposits = Result of cortisol from stress Thyrotropin-releasing hormone = Relation to dopamine effect on milk production
Match the hormone with its primary function:
Prolactin (PRL) = Stimulates milk production from a woman's breasts after childbirth Growth hormone (GH) = Stimulates growth in childhood and maintains muscle mass and bone mass Myostatin = Inhibits muscle growth Adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) = Stimulates production of cortisol by the adrenal glands
Match the hormone-related term with its effect on the body:
Dopamine = Inhibits milk production Cortisol = Helps maintain blood pressure and glucose levels Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) = Stimulates the thyroid gland to make thyroid hormones for metabolism control Luteinizing hormone (LH) = Regulates testosterone in men and estrogen in women
Match the condition with its description:
Dwarfism = Problems with growth hormones resulting in abnormal short stature Gigantism = Result of excessive growth hormone before puberty leading to abnormal tall stature Achondroplasia = Most common type of dwarfism with short limbs and normal-sized torso Muscular dystrophy = Muscle-wasting disease being treated with myostatin inhibitor drugs
Is this a negative or positive feedback system?
Myostatin and growth hormones = Negative feedback system Prolactin and milk production = Positive feedback system Cortisol and stress response = Negative feedback system Thyrotropin-releasing hormone and thyroid-stimulating hormone = Positive feedback system
Match the effect with the disadvantage:
Growing muscles quickly = Risk of muscle strains or injuries Blocking cortisol levels = May disrupt normal stress response functions Cortisol from stress leading to fat deposits in the belly = Potential increase in visceral fat Declining HGH as a person ages = Reduction in muscle mass and bone density
