1. True endocrine gland of epithelial origin
a. peptide gland
b. steroid hormone
c. amino acid-derived hormone
d. anterior pituitary
e. hypothalamus
f. posterior pituitary: d. anterior pituitary
2. How are hormones different from other signaling molecules, such as paracrine or
autocrine signaling molecules?
a. Hormones bind to receptors on the cell surface.
b. Hormones are nucleotides, while other signals are peptides or lipids.
c. Hormones are secreted into the bloodstream.
d. Hormones act when they are in high concentrations: C. Hormones are secret- ed into the
bloodstream
3. Steroid hormones are
synthesized in the of the cell.
a. nucleus
b. mitochondria
c. smooth endoplasmic reticulum
d. Golgi apparatus
e. rough endoplasmic reticulum: C. smooth endoplasmic reticulum
4. A new chemical signal is discovered. It is secreted in low concentra- tions from
keratinocytes in the skin, and it binds to receptors on nearby
melanocytes in the skin. Can this chemical signal be classified as a hormone?
a. No, because it does not travel to distant targets through the blood
b. Yes, because it is secreted from a group of cells
c. No, because it is a chemical signal
d. Yes, because it has effects at low concentrations: a. No, because it does not travel to distant
targets through the blood.
5. derivatives of tyrosine
a. peptide hormone
b. steroid hormone
c. amino acid-derived hormone

a. Some cells lack the appropriate receptors.
b. Chemical signals are only delivered to specific cells.
c. Some cells are completely without receptors.
d. Signal chemicals often break down before reaching a distant target.
