Kalamitie Kate, a physiology student, has been feeling rather poorly lately. She has gained weight recently. She is often constipated and feels lethargic with no energy. She is tired most of the time and has trouble understanding concepts quickly when she studies. Which endocrine disorder is most likely causing these symptoms? Group of answer choices: Hyperthyroidism Diabetes mellitus Hypothyroidism Glucocorticoid deficiency Which is NOT a symptom of untreated diabetes insipidus? Group of answer choices: Intense thirst Increased output of urine Antidiuretic hormone deficiency High blood glucose levels Which will stimulate aldosterone secretion? Group of answer choices: Increased potassium ion levels in the blood Increased blood volume and blood pressure Which answer describes the effects of glucagon release? Group of answer choices: Hyperglycemic hormone; Increases blood glucose levels Hypoglycemic hormone; Lowers blood glucose levels Which of the following is CORRECT for growth hormone? Group of answer choices: Stimulates long bone growth and increased skeletal muscle mass in children Can be helpful in treating pituitary dwarfism in adults Causes decreased blood glucose levels Is secreted by the posterior pituitary Where is thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) produced? Group of answer choices: Hypothalamus Anterior pituitary Posterior pituitary Thyroid gland
