You have discovered a new hormone that is classified as being "hydrophobic." Which of the following characteristics is likely true about this hormone? a. It is made from an amino acid b. It will travel dissolved directly in the blood stream c. It will utilize a second messenger system at its target cell d. Its receptors will be found within the cell e. It will be degraded quickly by enzymes once released into the blood stream 6. A few hours after a meal, the blood levels of many nutrients drop, including glucose. Glucose levels must be maintained at its homeostatic level to ensure proper cell function. Which of the following hormones will stimulate the creation of new glucose to be released into the blood stream? a. Cortisol b. Insulin c. Atrial natriuretic peptide d. Thyroid hormone e. All of the above answers are correct f. Only answer choices A and D are correct 7. Identify the organ in figure 1 and identify one hormone released from this organ. a. Adrenal gland; aldosterone b. Adrenal gland; insulin c. Kidney; erythropoietin d. Kidney; aldosterone e. Pancreas; erythropoietin f. Pancreas; insulin 8. Maria is 13 years old, very short for her age, and has not reached puberty yet. After multiple tests, a CT scan revealed the abnormal malformation of a specific bone that is damaging an endocrine gland. Which bone did the CT scan reveal to be malformed? a. Rib 10 b. Hip bone c. Sphenoid d. Sternum e. Femur f. Occipital bone

6. Identify a glucocorticoid released by the adrenal cortex. A) epinephrine B) thyroxine C) follicle-stimulating hormone D) cortisol E) glucagon 7. Which of the following substances is used to make steroid hormones? A) amino acids B) glucose C) cholesterol D) polypeptides E) vitamins 8. For the hormone glucagon, identify the organ of production and the target organ, respectively. A) adrenal medulla and adrenal cortex B) liver and pancreas C) pituitary and adrenal medulla D) pancreas and liver E) hypothalamus and pituitary 9. Which of the following structures is not part of the peripheral nervous system? A) sensory receptors in the skin B) parasympathetic nerves C) sensory neuron D) motor neuron E) spinal cord
For questions 27 through 32, ACTH stimulates milk release when infant nurses. The secretion of androgens, such as testosterone, stimulates lactation in mammary glands. During pregnancy, ACTH stimulates the secretion of cortisol, which raises blood pressure and decreases urine output. 32. When a peptide hormone binds receptors on the surface of a cell, cyclic AMP is synthesized. This second messenger appears in the cytoplasm. Kinase enzymes are activated. The synthesis of T3 and T4 requires tyrosine, thyroglobulin, and follicle cells. The gland called the "emergency gland" and helps the body adjust to stress is the adrenal gland. During fetal growth and infancy, T3 and T4 are required for the normal development of the central nervous system, circulatory system, digestive system, respiratory system, and kidneys.
