Questions and Answers

Which type of molecules control and coordinate the body's metabolism, energy level, reproduction, growth and development, and response to injury, stress, and mood?

  • Antagonists
  • Agonists
  • Receptors
  • Endogenous hormones (correct)

    • What is the primary function of drugs that act as agonists?

  • To produce a response similar to natural hormones by binding to receptors (correct)
  • To block the activities of endogenous hormones
  • To fail in triggering intracellular signaling events
  • To induce post receptor events that lead to biological effects

    • What is the role of antagonists in the pharmacologic action of endocrine drugs?

  • They induce post receptor events that lead to biological effects
  • They fail to trigger intracellular signaling events
  • They act like natural hormones, although more or less potently
  • They block the binding of agonists at the receptor without triggering signaling events (correct)

    • Which gland plays a key role in mediating the control of metabolism, growth, and reproduction through a combination of neural and endocrine systems?
