12

Epinephrine, norepinephrine, and thyroid hormones are examples of A) B) C) D) E) proteins. glycoproteins. polypeptides. amino acid derivatives. steroids.

13

Increased blood glucose causes increased insulin secretion from the pancreas. This is an example of A) B) hormonal regulation of hormone secretion. neural regulation of hormone secretion.

C)

nonhormonal regulation of hormone secretion.

14

Water-soluble hormones A) B) C) D) have a long half-life. have a short half-life. bind to intracellular receptors. both a and c

15

Hormones with a short half-life regulate activities that have a __________ onset with a __________ duration. A) B) C) D) rapid, long rapid, short slow, long slow, short

16

Given these events:

1. acetylcholine is released 2. action potentials travel through parasympathetic neurons 3. insulin is secreted 4. pancreatic cells depolarize

Arrange these events in the correct order after parasympathetic neurons are stimulated. A) B) C) D) E) 1,2,3,4 2,4,3,1 2,1,4,3 3,2,1,4 4,2,3,1

17

TRH stimulates the secretion of TSH, which stimulates the secretion of thyroid hormones. Thyroid hormones inhibit TRH and TSH secretion. This is an example of A) B) C) hormonal regulation of hormone secretion. neural regulation of hormone secretion. nonhormonal regulation of hormone secretion.

18

Stimulation of the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system during exercise results in secretion of epinephrine and norepinephrine into

the blood; when exercise ends, the amount of epinephrine and norepinephrine in the blood decreases rapidly. This is an example of A) B) C) acute hormone regulation. chronic hormone regulation. cyclic hormone regulation.

19

The monthly change in secretion of reproductive hormones that occurs in women during their reproductive years is an example of A) B) C) acute hormone regulation. chronic hormone regulation. cyclic hormone regulation.

20

Which of these is an example of positive-feedback regulation in the endocrine system? A) an increase in blood glucose causes an increase in insulin secretion; insulin moves glucose into cells B) an increase in TSH causes an increase in thyroid hormone secretion; thyroid hormones inhibit TSH secretion C) before ovulation, an increase in LH causes an increase in estrogen, which causes an increase in LH D) an increase in TRH causes an increase in TSH secretion; thyroid hormone inhibits TRH secretion E) an increase in blood calcium causes an increase in calcitonin

secretion; calcitonin moves calcium into the blood.
