GCU BIO-202 Exam 1 Questions and Answers (Verified
Answers) Already Graded A+ Guaranteed Pass Latest
Versions 2025 Graded A+
hormone amplification - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer>with water soluble hormones- they bind
to a receptor and cAMP takes over to produce more of a specific hormone
water soluble hormones -✔✔✔ Correct Answer>(all amino acid-based
hormones except thyroid hormone)
Act on plasma membrane receptors
Act via G protein second messengers
Cannot enter cell
lipid soluble hormones -✔✔✔ Correct Answer>-steroid and thyroid hormones
-act on intracellular receptors that directly activate genes
-can enter cell
adenohypophysis - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer>anterior pituitary gland
neurohypophysis -✔✔✔ Correct Answer>posterior pituitary gland
down regulation - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer>target cells lose receptors in response to over
stimulus of surrounding hormones
up-regulation - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer>target cells form more receptors in response to
low hormone levels
, humoral stimuli - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer>secretion of hormones in direct response to
changing blood levels of ions and nutrients
hormonal stimuli -✔✔✔ Correct Answer>Hormones stimulate other endocrine organs
to release their hormones
neural stimuli - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer>nerve fibers stimulate hormone release at the
neuroglandular junction
releasing hormones -✔✔✔ Correct Answer>chemical that stimuates other glands to
release their hormones
inhibiting hormones -✔✔✔ Correct Answer>hormone secreted by the hypothalamus
that can suppress secretion of hormones by the anterior pituitary
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) -✔✔✔ Correct Answer>Promotes secretion
of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). It is made in
the hypothalamus and effects the adenohypophysis.
Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer>Promotes secretion
of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). It is made in the hypothalamus and
effects the adenohypophysis.
