Exam 25: Endocrine Regulation

Match each term with its explanation or definition. -The combination of hormones have a greater effect than the sum of the effects of the two hormones separately

Which of the following is not a protein hormone?

In nonsteroid hormones, the hormone itself is the first messenger.

Parathyroid hormone reflexively increases secretion of parathyroid hormone in response to an increase in blood calcium levels.

Steroid hormones frequently travel in the bloodstream attached to soluble plasma proteins.

A list of the nonsteroid hormones from largest to smallest would read protein hormones, amino acid derivative hormones, and peptide hormones.

Which of the following is not a characteristic of the endocrine system?

Both the endocrine system and nervous system are important in regulation of body function.

The type(s) of prostaglandin that play(s) a role in the development of a fever is(are):

The immediate effect of a steroid hormone on a cell is the:

Steroids are able to pass easily through a target cell's plasma membrane because they are:

Match each term with its explanation or definition. -cAMP is an example of this

Hormones can be:

Both the endocrine and nervous systems exhibit control via regulatory feedback loops.

Many endocrine glands are made of epithelial tissue.

The target organs for tropic hormones are usually other endocrine glands.

In areas of the body where circulation is poor, hormones are carried by small ducts called hormone channels.

The endocrine system can regulate most cells in the body.

Compare and contrast how the endocrine and nervous systems function to maintain homeostasis of the internal environment.

The target cell in the endocrine system is similar to the postganglionic neuron in the nervous system, because they both have receptors that respond to the presence of a chemical.
