Questions and Answers

What type of control mechanism is primarily responsible for ensuring a proper level of hormone activity at the target tissue?

  • Neutral feedback mechanisms
  • Feedback mechanisms are not involved in hormone regulation
  • Negative feedback mechanisms (correct)
  • Positive feedback mechanisms
  • In the context of hormone secretion, what role do conditions or products resulting from the action of the hormone play?

  • Enhance further release of the hormone
  • Have no effect on hormone secretion
  • Suppress further release of the hormone (correct)
  • Convert hormones into different types
  • At which levels can feedback regulation of hormones occur?

  • Only at the level of target tissue activity
  • Only at the level of hormone synthesis
  • Only at the level of gene transcription
  • At all levels, including gene transcription and synthesis steps (correct)
