10 Questions
Match the following terms with their correct descriptions:
Hypothalamic-Pituitary Axis = Communication pathway between the pituitary gland and hypothalamus Master Glands = Another name for the pituitary gland as it regulates hormone production from other endocrine organs Releasing Hormones = Controls the production of hormones from the pituitary gland, secreted by the hypothalamus Peptides and Proteins = Synthesized and stored within the cell in secretory granules, producing effects on the outer surface of cells
Match the classification of hormones with their corresponding composition or structure:
Peptides and Protein = Includes Glycoproteins and Polypeptides Steroids = Hormones classified under this category Amines = Hormones that fall under this classification Synthesis of Peptides and Proteins = Stored within the cell in secretory granules and cleaved as needed
Match the following statements with their correct terms:
Regulation of Endocrine Functions = Primarily controlled through the pituitary gland, regulated by secretions from the hypothalamus Feedback Mechanism = May control hormone production from the hypothalamus by regulating pituitary gland production Effect on Cell Membrane = Peptides and proteins cannot cross due to their large molecular size, acting on cell surfaces Control of Pituitary Gland Hormones = Hypothalamus controls the production of hormones from this gland through releasing hormones
Match the following terms with their primary functions:
Pituitary Gland = Regulates hormone production from other endocrine organs and may control hypothalamus hormone production Hypothalamus = Controls hormone production from the pituitary gland through releasing hormones
Match the given structures with their hormone classification:
Synthesized Peptides and Proteins = Stored within cell in secretory granules, producing effects on outer cell surface Steroids Classification = Group of hormones falling under this structural category
Match the following hormones with their respective chemical classification:
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) = Glycoproteins Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) = Polypeptides Epinephrine = Amines Vitamin D = Steroids
Match the following endocrine organs with their functions:
Pineal Gland = Produces Melatonin and regulates circadian rhythm Hypothalamus = Link between nervous system and endocrine system Adrenal Glands = Produce steroid hormones Pancreas = Regulates blood sugar levels with insulin and glucagon
Match the hormone with its corresponding organ of production:
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) = Anterior Pituitary Gland Growth Hormone (GH) = Anterior Pituitary Gland Oxytocin = Hypothalamus Insulin = Pancreas
Match the hypothalamic hormones with their functions:
Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) = Stimulate ACTH secretion Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) = Stimulate FSH and LH secretion Dopamine = Inhibit Prolactin secretion Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) = Stimulate TSH and Prolactin secretion
Match the following hormones with their primary actions:
Erythropoietin (EPO) = Stimulates red blood cell production Calcitonin = Lowers blood calcium levels Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (MSH) = Regulates skin pigmentation Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) = Raises blood calcium levels
Test your knowledge on the regulation of endocrine functions through the pituitary gland and hypothalamus. Learn about the communication pathway known as the Hypothalamic Pituitary Axis and the role of the pituitary gland in regulating hormone production. Explore how the hypothalamus controls the production of hormones through feedback mechanisms.
