Study Notes
Endocrine System - Tutorials Quiz
- Melatonin: Its level is highest at night. It's a sleep trigger. It is not a releasing hormone, and iodine is not needed for its production.
Endocrine System - Tutorials Quiz
- Thyroid Gland Function: Iodine is the necessary element for proper thyroid gland function.
Endocrine System - Tutorials Quiz
- Iodine Deficiency: Lack of iodine can lead to goiter (enlarged thyroid gland) and cretinism. Grave's disease is not caused by iodine deficiency. Dwarfism is also unrelated.
Endocrine System - Tutorials Quiz
- Hypersecretion of Thyroid Gland: Hypersecretion of the thyroid gland can lead to a condition called Grave's disease. Goiter, cretinism and dwarfism are not caused by this.
Endocrine System - Tutorials Quiz
- Blood Glucose Levels and Hormones: When blood glucose levels fall, glucagon is released; insulin is not. Amino acids and peptides are unrelated.
Endocrine System - Tutorials Quiz
- Insulin Secretion: The pancreas is the endocrine organ responsible for insulin secretion. The pineal gland, thyroid gland, and parathyroid gland, are not involved.
Endocrine System - Tutorials Quiz
- Blood Calcium Regulation: The parathyroid gland is responsible for regulating blood calcium ion levels. The pituitary, pineal, and thyroid glands are not responsible.
Endocrine System - Tutorials Quiz
- Ovulation Trigger: Luteinizing hormone (LH) is responsible for triggering ovulation.
Endocrine System - Tutorials Quiz
- Male Secondary Sexual Characteristics: Testosterone is responsible for the development of male secondary sexual characteristics.
Endocrine System - Quiz 3
- Hormone Function: Hormones are released into the blood circulation. They are not enzymes nor do they affect all cells in the body. They're not released by neurons at synapses.
Endocrine System - Quiz 3
- Hypothalamus: The hypothalamus is part of the brain and is composed of neural tissue, it secretes releasing hormones. It isn't connected by the infundibulum and doesn't produce epinephrine or norepinephrine.
Endocrine System - Quiz 3
- Thyroid Hormone: The thyroid produces thyroxine, which is converted to triiodothyronine in target tissues. It doesn't produce thyroid-stimulating hormone, calcitriol, or parathyroid hormone.
Endocrine System - Quiz 3
- Adrenal Medulla Hormones: The adrenal medulla produces epinephrine and norepinephrine, not aldosterone, corticosteroids, or glucocorticoids.
Endocrine System - Quiz 3
- Pancreatic Beta Cells: The beta cells of the pancreas produce insulin. The alpha cells of the pancreas produce glucagon. Angiotensins or glucocorticoids are not produced by the beta cells of the pancreas.
Endocrine System - Quiz 3
- Erythropoietin Production: The kidneys produce erythropoietin (EPO), which signals red bone marrow to increase red blood cell production.
Endocrine System - Quiz 3
- Parathyroid Hormone's Effect: Parathyroid hormone increases plasma calcium concentration, not decrease it.
Endocrine System - Quiz 3
- Not Part of Endocrine System: The acini cells of the pancreas are not part of the endocrine system. They produce digestive enzymes, not hormones.
Endocrine System - Quiz 3 (Difference between Exocrine & Endocrine Glands)
- Endocrine Glands: Endocrine glands secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream; exocrine glands secrete substances into ducts leading to a target location.
