    What the 3 factors that stimulate endocrine gland activity?

    Correct Answer
    hormonal,humoral,neural
    Explanation
    The three factors that stimulate endocrine gland activity are hormonal, humoral, and neural. Hormonal stimulation occurs when a hormone from another endocrine gland stimulates the target gland to release its own hormone. Humoral stimulation occurs when the levels of certain substances, such as ions or nutrients, in the blood trigger the release of hormones from the endocrine gland. Neural stimulation occurs when the autonomic nervous system sends nerve impulses to the endocrine gland, causing it to release hormones. These three factors work together to regulate and control the activity of endocrine glands in the body.

    Non-Steriod homones are formed by amino acids?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Non-Steroid hormones are indeed formed by amino acids. These hormones, such as insulin and glucagon, are made up of chains of amino acids. They are synthesized and released by various glands in the body, including the pancreas and the pituitary gland, and they play crucial roles in regulating various physiological processes. Unlike steroid hormones, which are derived from cholesterol, non-steroid hormones do not require any specific carrier proteins to travel through the bloodstream and exert their effects on target cells. Therefore, the given answer "True" is correct.

  • 7. 

    GDP binds to the G Protein's beta subunt?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because GDP actually binds to the G Protein's alpha subunit, not the beta subunit. G Proteins are composed of three subunits: alpha, beta, and gamma. When a G Protein is inactive, it is bound to GDP on the alpha subunit. Upon activation, GDP is exchanged for GTP, leading to the dissociation of the alpha subunit from the beta and gamma subunits. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    When GTP binds to the alpha subunit of the G protein, the G protein is inactivated

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    When GTP binds to the alpha subunit of the G protein, it activates the G protein, not inactivates it. This is because GTP binding causes a conformational change in the alpha subunit, allowing it to dissociate from the beta and gamma subunits and interact with downstream effector molecules, leading to signal transduction and cellular responses. Therefore, the statement that GTP binding inactivates the G protein is incorrect.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    G protein is a membrane bound protein

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    G proteins are indeed membrane-bound proteins. They are a family of proteins involved in signal transduction pathways. These proteins are attached to the inner surface of the cell membrane and play a crucial role in transmitting signals from cell surface receptors to the inside of the cell. G proteins act as molecular switches, alternating between an inactive GDP-bound state and an active GTP-bound state. This activation allows them to interact with various downstream effector molecules and initiate intracellular signaling cascades. Therefore, the statement "G protein is a membrane-bound protein" is true.

    What is the secondary messanger for the Adenyly cyclase mechanism?

    • Protain Kinase A

    • CAMP

    • CA

    • GLUT 4

    Correct Answer
    A. CAMP
    Explanation
    cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate) is the secondary messenger for the Adenylyl cyclase mechanism. Adenylyl cyclase is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of ATP to cAMP. cAMP then acts as a secondary messenger, relaying signals from various hormones and neurotransmitters to activate Protein Kinase A (PKA). PKA is responsible for phosphorylating and activating various target proteins, leading to a cascade of intracellular signaling events. Therefore, cAMP plays a crucial role in mediating the Adenylyl cyclase mechanism and transmitting signals within cells.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    What is the seconday messager for the Phospholipase C mechanism?

    • IP3 / CA

    • IP3

    • CAMP

    • 5AMP

    Correct Answer
    A. IP3 / CA
    Explanation
    The secondary messenger for the Phospholipase C mechanism is IP3 / CA. Phospholipase C is an enzyme that cleaves phospholipids in the cell membrane, producing IP3 and DAG. IP3 then acts as a secondary messenger by binding to receptors on the endoplasmic reticulum, causing the release of calcium ions (CA) from intracellular stores. The increase in calcium levels triggers various cellular responses, such as muscle contraction or secretion of neurotransmitters. Therefore, both IP3 and calcium ions play crucial roles as secondary messengers in the Phospholipase C mechanism.

    Activated adenylyl cyclase catalyzes the conversion of ATP to cAMP

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Adenylyl cyclase is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) to cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate). This process is known as adenylyl cyclase activation. Therefore, the statement "Activated adenylyl cyclase catalyzes the conversion of ATP to cAMP" is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    What enzyme degrades cAMP to 5AMP

    Correct Answer
    phosphodiesterase
    Explanation
    Phosphodiesterase is the correct answer because it is an enzyme that degrades cAMP to 5AMP. This enzyme breaks down the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) molecule by hydrolyzing the phosphodiester bond, resulting in the formation of 5'-adenosine monophosphate (5AMP). Phosphodiesterase plays a crucial role in regulating the levels of cAMP within cells, as cAMP is involved in various cellular signaling pathways.

    Insulin and Growth Hormone use secondary messengers

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Insulin and growth hormone do not use secondary messengers. Secondary messengers are molecules that relay signals from the cell surface to the inside of the cell, amplifying and transmitting the signal. Insulin and growth hormone, on the other hand, use different mechanisms to transmit their signals. Insulin binds to insulin receptors on the cell surface, initiating a cascade of intracellular events that regulate glucose uptake. Growth hormone binds to specific receptors on target cells and activates signaling pathways directly, without the need for secondary messengers. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

    In the Tyrosine mechanism glucose enters the cell via

    • Signalling Protein

    • Hydrogen Pump

    • GLUT4

    • Tyrosine Kinase receptor

    Correct Answer
    A. GLUT4
    Explanation
    GLUT4 is the correct answer because in the Tyrosine mechanism, glucose enters the cell through the GLUT4 transporter. GLUT4 is a glucose transporter protein that is mainly found in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle. It is responsible for insulin-regulated glucose uptake into these cells. When insulin is present, it activates the Tyrosine Kinase receptor, which then triggers the translocation of GLUT4 from intracellular vesicles to the cell membrane, allowing glucose to enter the cell. This process helps regulate blood glucose levels and is important for maintaining normal glucose homeostasis.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Rate of Secretion
    A. Rate of Excretion
    A. Quantity of Transport Proteins
    Explanation
    Blood hormone levels are determined by the rate of secretion, rate of excretion, and the quantity of transport proteins. The rate of secretion refers to the amount of hormone being produced and released by the endocrine glands into the bloodstream. The rate of excretion refers to the elimination of hormones from the body, either through urine or feces. The quantity of transport proteins is important because hormones are often bound to these proteins in the bloodstream, which affects their availability and distribution throughout the body. Therefore, all three factors play a role in determining blood hormone levels.

    What hormones need transport proteins

    • Thyroid homones

    • Eprinephrine

    • Steriod homones

    • Glucagon

    • B and C

    • A and C

    Correct Answer
    A. A and C
    Explanation
    Thyroid hormones and steroid hormones need transport proteins. Thyroid hormones, such as T3 and T4, are hydrophobic and cannot easily dissolve in the bloodstream, so they require transport proteins like thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) to be carried to their target tissues. Steroid hormones, like cortisol and testosterone, are also hydrophobic and need transport proteins like sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) to travel through the bloodstream. Epinephrine and glucagon do not require transport proteins for their transportation.

    Training at higher altitude may increase the number of red blood cells, this is an example of

    • Hypertrophy

    • Hyperplasia

    • Hypoplasia

    • Extracellular matrix

    Correct Answer
    A. Hyperplasia
    Explanation
    Training at higher altitudes can lead to an increase in the number of red blood cells. This is because when the body is exposed to lower oxygen levels at higher altitudes, it tries to compensate by producing more red blood cells. This increase in red blood cells helps to improve the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood, allowing the body to adapt to the lower oxygen levels and perform better at higher altitudes. Hyperplasia refers to the increase in the number of cells in a tissue or organ, which is exactly what happens in this case.

    What hypothalamus hormone triggers the eventuall release of Cortisol

    • ACTH

    • TRH

    • Insulin

    • CRH

    Correct Answer
    A. CRH
    Explanation
    Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is produced by the hypothalamus and plays a crucial role in triggering the release of cortisol. When the body experiences stress, CRH is released from the hypothalamus into the bloodstream, stimulating the pituitary gland to produce and release adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). ACTH then travels to the adrenal glands, where it stimulates the production and release of cortisol. Therefore, CRH is the hormone that ultimately triggers the release of cortisol in response to stress.

    Explanation
    When epinephrine/norepinephrine binds to the beta1 receptor, it stimulates the heart to increase its rate and force of contraction. This is because the beta1 receptors are primarily located in the heart and when activated, they increase the production of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) within the cardiac cells. This leads to an increase in calcium influx, which in turn enhances the heart's ability to contract more forcefully and at a faster rate. Therefore, the statement "If epinephrine/norepinephrine binds to the beta1 receptor, the heart rate and force of contraction increases" is true.

    If E/Ne binds to the alpha receptor the arterioles and veins will dilate?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    If E/Ne binds to the alpha receptor, it will cause vasoconstriction instead of dilation. Alpha receptors are found on the smooth muscle of arterioles and veins, and when stimulated by E/Ne, they cause constriction of these blood vessels. This leads to a decrease in blood flow and an increase in blood pressure. Therefore, the correct answer is false.
