Exam 1 AP lecture Question 1 Steroid hormones are lipids, derived from nucleic acids. cholesterol polypeptides glycerol Question 2 Lipid-soluble hormones, such as progesterone, exert their effects by forming hormone-receptor complexes that bind to DNA and initiate transcription activate a G protein and second-messenger cascade. activate adenylate cyclase open ion channels in the cell membrane Question 3 The pituitary gland is located________to the hypothalamus and is connected by the_______ superior thalamus inferior, infundibulum posterior. infundibulum inferior/epithalamus superior pars nervosa and primary plexus Question 4 Norepinephrine is an amine hormone which is water soluble.

Posterior pituitary hormone Oxytocin, under nervous control Question 20 The primary function of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is to stimulate glucocorticoid release from the adrenal glands. stimulate adrenaline release from the adrenal medulla. regulate salt and water balance by acting on the renal system. stimulate col growth and cell division in muscle and bore stimulate the development of the folds on the surface of the Question 21 In young children, hemopoiesis occurs in most of their bones, but in adulthood it primarily occurs in flat bones of the axial skeleton. long bones of the hands and feet. the liver and spleen. short bones of the appendicular skeleton.
