EDAPT: The Endocrine System - Part II.

Which of the following is/are not considered an endocrine tissue or organ? - ANSWERLiver In 1924, the micronutrient __________ was added to salt products. This was done in response to a study that found the addition of this substance prevented goiters, an enlargement of the thyroid gland, in at-risk populations. - ANSWERIodine Which of the following body systems would be most influenced by parathyroid hormone? - ANSWERSkeletal Thymopoietin, __________, and thymulin have roles in the development of __________ and regulation of __________ activity. - ANSWERThymosin Lymphatic organs T-cell Match the hormone to its appropriate classification. - ANSWERAldosterone - Mineralocorticoid Epinephrine - Catecholamine Cortisol - Glucocorticoid DHEA - Androgen

Match the hormone to the appropriate Islet of Langerhans cell. - ANSWERAlpha - Glucagon Beta - Insulin F cell - Pancreatic polypeptide Delta - Somatostatin Match the hormone to the secondary endocrine structures that secrete them. Each structure may have more than one associated hormone. - ANSWERKidney:

  • Calcitriol
  • Erythropoietin Small Intestine:
  • Cholecystokinin
  • Secretin Stomach:
  • Gastrin
  • Ghrelin Adipose:

Match the hormone to its appropriate classification. - ANSWERAldosterone - Mineralocorticoid Epinephrine - Catecholamine Glucocorticoid - Cortisol Androgen - DHEA Correctly label the following parts of the adrenal gland. - ANSWER1. Connective tissue capsule

  1. Adrenal cortex
  2. Adrenal medulla
  3. Zona glomerulosa
  4. Zona fasciculata
  5. Zona retucularis Which of the following pairs of hormones have opposing functions? - ANSWERInsulin and glucagon Match the types of communication. __________ communication is the most common form of intercellular communication.

__________ communication is not as common as paracrine or classic communication. - ANSWERParacrine Autocrine Match the function to the eicosanoid. __________ - Mediate allergic and inflammatory responses. __________ - Produced by blood vessels to prevent blood clotting. __________ - Produced by blood platelets to inhibit prostacyclin. __________ - The most diverse eicosanoids that are produced throughout the body with a variety of functions depending on the body system affected. - ANSWERLeukotrienes Prostacyclin Thromboxane Prostaglandins Match the regulatory proteins with their descriptions.

  1. Hormones that will activate a cell that is contained within the same tissue.
  2. Peptides that can either upregulate or downregulate cellular functions.

Antagonistic:

  • Insulin and glucagon
  • Somatostatin and pancreatic polypeptide Synergistic:
  • Parathyroid hormone and calcitriol No effect on each other:
  • Inhibin and growth hormone Indicate whether each condition describes hormonal up regulation or down regulation. - ANSWERUp Regulation:
  • An increased number of testosterone receptors in skeletal muscle following resistance training is an example of this.
  • In response to a chronic lack of hormones, the target cell increases the concentration of receptors.
  • This results in a greater response to the same magnitude of hormone release. Down Regulation:
  • This results in decreased sensitivity.
  • An example would be a decreased number of hormone receptors resulting from chronically high insulin levels.
  • In response to a chronic abundance of hormone the target cell reduces the concentration of receptors.
  • This is the receptor response to an increase in circulating hormone. Which of the following organs will contribute the most to the stress responses? - ANSWERAdrenal gland Physical causes of stress include __________. Select all that apply. - ANSWERIntense exercise Malnutrition Infection As a result of the general stress response, blood concentrations of epinephrine __________. - ANSWERCortisol rise Match each scenario to the appropriate stage of the stress response. - ANSWERAlarm Reaction:
  • Norepinephrine and other hormones raise heart rate, blood pressure and blood glucose levels.
  • The body is preparing to protect itself from a possible threat. Stage of Resistance:
  • The consequence of this stage could be a decrease in immune function.
  • Corticosteroids are released, m protein and fats can be utilized for energy production. Stage of Exhaustion:
  • Atrophy of muscle tissue takes place as the body continues to utilize protein for energy.

When cells cannot absorb glucose, they must get their energy someplace else, and in turn, they metabolize fat and protein. In time, this leads to __________. - ANSWERA condition called ketoacidosis, causing deep, gasping breathing.
