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.

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.

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 __________________

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)

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 immune system is affected mostly by the action of ______________

Thymulin

Melatonin

Norepinephrine

Estrogens

Melatonin

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.
