Study Notes
Endocrine System - Advanced
- Question 1: The anterior pituitary gland is under direct neural control from the hypothalamus.
- Question 2: Glucocorticoids (cortisol and corticosterone) inhibit the secretion of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) from the hypothalamus.
-
Question 3: The hypothalamus regulates the anterior pituitary gland through:
- Direct neural control
- Neurosecretion from axon terminals originating in the hypothalamus
- Hypothalamic releasing hormones (RH)
- Paracrine communication
-
Question 4: The hypothalamus regulates the posterior pituitary gland through:
- Direct neural control
- Neurosecretion from axon terminals originating in the hypothalamus
- Question 5: Triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) regulate their own secretion through autoregulation at the thyroid gland.
- Question 6: Insulin is released after eating a bar of chocolate.
- Question 7: Glucagon and Glucocorticoids are elevated during fasting between meals.
- Question 8: Glucagon and Glucocorticoids are elevated during prolonged starvation.
- Question 9: The main target tissue for mineralocorticoids is the kidney.
- Question 10: Calcium ion concentration regulates secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH).
- Question 11: Steroid hormones easily pass through the plasma membrane because they are lipid soluble.
- Question 12: Hormone release is most commonly controlled by negative feedback.
- Question 13: Roles of hormones include: regulating metabolism, stimulating gamete production, and controlling growth.
- Question 14: The hypothalamus can inhibit the release of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).
- Question 15: Peptide hormones exert their effect via membrane receptors of target cells.
- Question 16: The action of angiotensin II is opposed by natriuretic peptides (ANP and BNP).
- Question 17: The superior lobe (Cerebrohypophysis) is not a part of the pituitary gland.
- Question 18: Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) in males supports the maturation of sperm.
- Question 19: A cell's hormonal sensitivities are determined by the presence of appropriate receptors.
- Question 20: Four cell populations making up the endocrine pancreas are Alpha cells, Beta cells, Delta cells, and F cells.
- Question 21: Growth hormone is not produced by the pancreas.
- Question 22: The primary difference in how the nervous and endocrine system communicate with target cells is the time course and specificity of their responses.
- Question 23: The adrenal gland is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system and the endocrine system.
- Question 24: The hypothalamus integrates responses of the endocrine and nervous systems.
- Question 25: Incorrectly paired is Progesterone: increased plasma glucose levels.
