As the respiratory tube branches become smaller in
diameter,
The epithelial lining changes from pseudostratified ciliated
columnar to cuboidal and simple squamous epithelium
The chemoreceptors in the carotid and aortic bodies are
most sensitive to changes in blood concentration of
Oxygen
Which of the following is not a function of the mucus-lined
nasal passages?
Colling exhaled air
1. The common hepatic duct and the cystic duct unite to
form the
Common bile duct
The thymus gland secretes hormones called ____ that ____
Thymosins; control production and differentiation of white
blood cells
Exocrine glands differ from endocrine gland in that
exocrine glands
Secrete through ducts or tubes to the body's exterior
Oxytocin stimulates the kidneys to conserve water
, Page 2 of 36
False
The secretion of parathyroid hormone is controlled
primarily by the
concentration of blood calcium
A person under stress may have a lowered resistance to
infection
True
A hormone is a ____ and the target cell is ____
Molecule that has a metabolic effect on another cell; a cell
that has receptors for specific molecules
The ____ secretes triiodothyronine
Thyroid gland
Choose the example that does not demonstrate a negative
feedback loop of hormonal control
Pressure receptors sense the movement of a baby against and
through the cervix during labor. They stimulate the
hypothalamus to release a hormone that causes uterine
contractions. This causes more pressure receptor stimulation,
leading to larger releases of the hormone and stronger, more
frequent contractions. Hormone release ceases after pressure
sensation cease
A hormone is a secreted molecule that is carried in the
bloodstream to where it acts on target cells that bear
specific receptor for that hormone
, Page 3 of 36
True
A female patient is experiencing a hormonal imbalance
that is causing her to skip menstrual periods due to low
estrogen and miss ovulation. Which of the following is
most likely the imbalance hormone?
follicle-stimulating hormone
As a result of the general stress response, blood
concentrations of epinephrine
And cortisol rise
Secretion of insulin causes
A decrease in the concentration of blood glucose
A sweat gland is an example of a(n) ____ gland
Exocrine
Maxwell has a very high metabolic rate, is skinny, and has
protruding eyes. These are symptoms of
Hyperthyroidism
Nonsteroid hormones include peptides, proteins,
glycoproteins, and amines
True
Hormones that the posterior pituitary secretes are
synthesized in the
Hypothalamus
Simple goiter is most prevalent where the soil lacks
, Page 4 of 36
Iodine
Steroid hormones diffuse through cell membranes, then
bind with receptors, whereas nonsteroid hormones bind
receptors on the target cell membrane
True
The hormone that the pineal gland secretes is
Melatonin
The sex hormones from the adrenal cortex are primarily
androgens
True
The target cells of releasing hormones are in the anterior
pituitary gland
True
Steroid hormones
Are soluble in lipids
The hormone that stimulates calcium decomposition into
bone is
Calcitonin
A night-shift worker experiences extreme difficulty falling
asleep due to being exposed to bright lights during both
night and day. The unusual pattern of light exposure is
disturbing their ____, which controls the release of the
hormone ____
