K. GonadsExplanation
The endocrine system consists of glands that produce and secrete hormones, which regulate various bodily functions. The correct answer includes the Pituitary gland, which is often referred to as the "master gland" because it controls the functions of other endocrine glands. The Pancreas is also part of the endocrine system as it produces insulin and glucagon, which regulate blood sugar levels. The Adrenals produce hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, while the Parathyroid glands regulate calcium levels in the body. The Thyroid gland produces thyroid hormones that control metabolism, and the Gonads (testes in males and ovaries in females) produce sex hormones.Rate this question:

Select all of the HORMONAL changes that come with age for a male OR female.
- A.
Menopause
- B.
Brittle bones
- C.
Decreased estrogen levels
- D.
Loss of child bearing ability in women
- E.
Loss of sperm production in men
- F.
Less thyroxin
- G.
Confusion and memory loss
- H.
Less growth hormone
- I.
Loss of pituitary gland function
- J.
Loss insulin
Correct Answer(s)
A. Menopause
C. Decreased estrogen levels
D. Loss of child bearing ability in women
F. Less thyroxin
H. Less growth hormone
J. Loss insulinExplanation
As individuals age, there are several hormonal changes that occur in both males and females. Menopause is a hormonal change that specifically occurs in women, leading to the cessation of menstruation and the end of the reproductive period. Decreased estrogen levels are also a hormonal change that can occur in both males and females with age. This can lead to various symptoms and health issues. Loss of child bearing ability in women is another hormonal change that is specific to females. Less thyroxin and less growth hormone are also hormonal changes that can occur with age in both males and females. Loss of insulin, brittle bones, confusion and memory loss, and loss of pituitary gland function are not specifically hormonal changes that occur with age.Rate this question:

The layers of the adrenal glands are called the cortex and medulla.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The adrenal glands are composed of two distinct layers, the cortex and medulla. The cortex is the outer layer and produces hormones such as cortisol, aldosterone, and androgens. The medulla is the inner layer and produces adrenaline and noradrenaline. Therefore, the statement that the layers of the adrenal glands are called the cortex and medulla is true.Rate this question:

The two parts of the pituitary gland are called:
- A.
Superior and inferior
- B.
Proximal and distal
- C.
Anterior and posterior
- D.
Right and left
Correct Answer
C. Anterior and posteriorExplanation
The two parts of the pituitary gland are called anterior and posterior. This is because the pituitary gland is divided into two distinct lobes: the anterior lobe (also known as the adenohypophysis) and the posterior lobe (also known as the neurohypophysis). The anterior lobe produces and releases various hormones that regulate growth, metabolism, and reproduction, while the posterior lobe stores and releases hormones produced by the hypothalamus, such as oxytocin and vasopressin.Rate this question:

This hormone(s) stimulates the body to quickly produce energy during emergencies. The heart rate, blood pressure, muscle power, and energy are increased.
- A.
Epinephrine
- B.
Norepinephrine
- C.
Neither
- D.
Both
Correct Answer
D. BothExplanation
Both epinephrine and norepinephrine are hormones that stimulate the body to quickly produce energy during emergencies. They both increase the heart rate, blood pressure, muscle power, and energy levels. Epinephrine is released by the adrenal glands and is often referred to as adrenaline. Norepinephrine is also released by the adrenal glands and acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain. Both hormones play important roles in the body's response to stress and emergency situations.Rate this question:
