In today’s quiz on biology with regards to the human body, we’ll be turning our textbooks to chapter fourteen and seeing how much you know about the system whereby hormones are secreted and therefore transported around the body to regulate the functions of organs; the endocrine system.
Secretes releasing hormones
Controls the secretion of the anterior pituitary gland
Secretes ACTH, TSH, and gonadotropins
Synthesizes oxytocin and ADH
Secreted by the thyroid gland
Secreted by the parathyroid glands
Secreted in response to declining plasma levels of calcium
Steroids
Are secreted by the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans
Elevate blood glucose
Are secreted in response to declining plasma levels of glucose
Are secreted by the pancreas and are concerned with the regulation of blood glucose
Are cells found in the adenohypophysis
Secrete insulin and glucagon
Secrete steroids
Secrete releasing hormones
Are secreted by the adrenal medulla
Include the glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, and andogens
Stimulate the membranes of the target cells to produce the second chemical messenger, cAMP
Are secreted by the pancreas
Is controlled primarily by ACTH
Secrete steroids
Is part of the "fight or flight" response
Secretes iodine-containing hormones
Include thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
Are secreted by hypothalamus as releasing hormones
Are steroids
Regulate metabolic rate
