Oxytocin, Prolactin

Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Oxytocin

Prolactin, Progesterone

1

the statement "The Luteinizing Hormone (LH) is the hormone that stimulates the Insulin production in males " is:

True, this hormone has as a main target the pancreas.

False, the luteinizing hormone main target are the kidneys to stimulate cortisol production.

True, the luteinizing hormone main target is the liver that is also affected by insulin.

False, the luteinizing hormone target in male are the testes to stimulate the production of testosterone.

1

Write the main target of the glucagon hormone:

1

Pitocin is a synthetic drug that is often used to stimulate contractions. Which hormone has a similar function?

Progesterone, affecting the uterus.

Cortisol, affecting most cells of the body.

Oxytocin, affecting the uterus.

Follicle Stimulating Hormone, affecting the ovaries.

When you drink a lot of water, the hormone that prevents your blood from becoming too dilute by removing excess water from it is the __________________

1

A person that presents goiter, sensitivity to heat, insomnia, excessive sweat, and suddenly lose weight is presenting a disorder in the process of thyroid hormone production, this disorder is called:

Diabetes

Hyperthyroidism

Narcolepsy

Hypothyroidism

1

Between meals, blood glucose declines as cells take it up and use it for metabolism, this decreasement of glucose encourages the secretion of:

Insulin

Thyroid Hormone

Glucagon

Epinephrine (Adrenaline)

1

In response to acute stress, the body's sympathetic nervous system is activated by the sudden release of hormones. This chain of reactions results in an increase in heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate. The Hormone released in fight or flight response is:

Cortisol

Epinephrine (adrenaline)

Antidiuretic Hormone (AH)

Aldosterone

The diagram shows the mechanism of production of thyroid hormone:

1

How will the three endocrine glands shown behave on a cold day, when the body needs a higher level of metabolic activity to stay warm?

Stimulating the production of thyroxine

Inhibiting the production of thyroxine

Stimulating the production of insulin

Decreasing the production of Calcitonin

1

The main job of this hormone is to:

1

Figure B shows a large production of:

Luteinizing Hormone (LH)

Growth Hormone (GH)

Oxytocin

Thyroxine Stimulating Hormone (TSH)

1

The immune system is affected mostly by the action of ______________

Thymulin

Melatonin

Norepinephrine

Estrogens

"If you leave New York on a flight at 4 p.m. on Tuesday and arrive in Paris at 7 a.m. Wednesday, your internal clock still thinks it's 1 a.m. That means you're ready for bed just as Parisians are waking up." this text refers to which hormone?

Glucagon

Testosterone

Thyroid hormone (thyroxine)

Melatonin

1

Phthalates are a group of chemicals used in hundreds of products, such as toys, vinyl, and personal care products, such as nail polish, hair sprays, soaps, shampoos, perfumes and other fragrance preparations. These chemicals substances are totaly safe and don't interfere with the normal hormonal mechanisms that allow a biological organism to interact with its environment.
