Exam 25: Endocrine Regulation

Match each chemical classification with a corresponding hormone. -Cortisol

Steroid hormones tend to generate a rapid response in their target cells.

The last step in the nonsteroid hormone mechanism of action is:

One outcome of a nonsteroid hormone would be the synthesis of a specific enzyme.

Examples of nonsteroid hormones are insulin, oxytocin, and epinephrine.

Responses that result from endocrine feedback loops are called endocrine reflexes.

The number of hormone receptors a cell has remains constant throughout the life of the cell.

Match each term with its explanation or definition. -Uses the mobile-receptor model to function

Thromboxanes and leukotrienes can be called tissue hormones.

Cells make prostaglandins by breaking apart triglyceride molecules.

Most cells in the body can respond to many different types of hormones.

Explain the mechanism of steroid hormone action. What is the end product of a steroid hormone?

Match each chemical classification with a corresponding hormone. -Luteinizing hormone

Which of the following is not a peptide hormone?

Which of the following is not an amino acid derivative hormone?

In terms of affecting hormone action, synergism and permissiveness mean the same thing.

Upregulating and downregulating hormone receptor proteins on the membrane of a target cell will change its sensitivity to a hormone.

Which of the following is not a chemical classification of hormones?

The release of a hormone by a gland is called signal transduction.

Which of the following is not true of prostaglandins?
