Question : Lipid-soluble hormone receptors are located
Student inside the plasma membrane in the cytoplasm.
Answer:
on the outer surface of the plasma membrane.
inside the mitochondria.
on the inner surface of the plasma membrane.
Instructor Lipid-soluble hormones easily diffuse across the plasma
Explanation: membrane and bind to either cytosolic or nuclear receptors.
Question 2. Question : Where is oxytocin synthesized?
Student Hypothalamus
Answer:
Paraventricular nuclei
Anterior pituitary
Posterior pituitary
Instructor The posterior pituitary secretes two polypeptide hormones: (1)
Explanation: ADH, also called arginine vasopressin; and (2) oxytocin.
Question 3. Question : A surgical individual just arrived on the unit from the
postanesthesia care unit. This person’s respirations are 4
per minute and shallow. As the nurse calls for
assistance, the person suddenly feels jittery and
, NR 507 WEEK 5 QUIZ(ADVANCED PATHO)
Student Answer: The central nervous system stimulates
hypothalamus-releasing factor, which acts on the
anterior pituitary gland to secrete thyroid-stimulating
hormone (TSH) and stimulates the release of thyroxine
(T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).
The central nervous system directly stimulates the
release of insulin, which reduces blood glucose levels.
The central nervous system directly stimulates the
adrenal medulla to secrete epinephrine and stimulates
hypothalamus-releasing factor, which acts on the
anterior pituitary gland to secrete adrenocorticotropic-
stimulating hormone (ACTH), stimulating the release of
cortisol.
The central nervous system stimulates the
hypothalamus to synthesize oxytocin and antidiuretic
hormone, which are secreted by the posterior pituitary,
activating uterine contraction and renal absorption of
water.
Instructor The secretion of cortisol is regulated primarily by the
Explanation: hypothalamus and the anterior pituitary gland. In the
hypothalamus, corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is
produced in several nuclei and stored in the median
eminence. Once released, CRH travels through the portal
vessels to stimulate the production of ACTH from pro-
opiomelanocortin (POMC), -lipotropin, -lipotropin,
endorphins, and enkephalins by the anterior pituitary.
ACTH is the main regulator of cortisol secretion and
adrenocortical growth.
Question 4. Question : What effect does hyperphosphatemia have on other
electrolytes?
Student Answer: It increases serum calcium.
It decreases serum calcium.
