GCU BIO-202 EXAM 1 NEWEST ACTUAL EXAM WITH
COMPLETE 100 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED
ANSWERS (VERIFIED ANSWERS) ALREADY GRADED A+ |
GUARANTEED PASS
Hormones - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > chemical messengers that are manufactured by the
endocrine glands, travel through the bloodstream, and affect other tissues
pars intermedia - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > where the cells of the anterior pituitary meet
the cells of the posterior pituitary; makes melanocyte-stimulating hormone (in
lower vertbreates, this works to provide skin coloration); acts on melanopores
Paracrine pathway - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > hormones are produced in a cell, secreted,
and act directly on nearby receptive cells
endocrine pathway - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > hormones are produced in a cell, secreted,
and travel through blood vessels to distant cells, attach to receptors, and act on
that cell
pars distalis - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > The anterior part of the adenohypophysis that is
the major secretory part of the gland.
, negative feedback - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > A primary mechanism of homeostasis,
whereby a change in a physiological variable that is being monitored triggers a
response that counteracts the initial fluctuation.
direct pathway - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > hormones are exchanged across gap junctions
of cells, such as the intercalated discs of the heart. This maintains homeostasis
within a specific tissue set, rather than sending it to other organ tissue or all
across the body.
Glands - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Organs or tissues in the body that create chemicals that
control many of our bodily functions
target cells - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > cells that have receptors for a particular hormone
hormone receptor - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > a protein in or on the cell that binds to the
hormone and initiates cellular mechanisms
free hormones - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Remain functional for less than 1 hour
Diffuse out of bloodstream:
bind to receptors on target cells
Are broken down and absorbed:
by cells of liver or kidney
Are broken down by enzymes:
in plasma or interstitial fluids
