BIOD 151
BIOD 151 Module 6 (Latest Update )
Essential Human Anatomy & Physiology I | Questions &
Answers | Grade A 100% Correct. Portage Learning.
1.What are steroid hormones derived from?: Cholesterol by a series of
metabolic
2. Why do steroid hormones act slower than peptide hormones?: Because it
takes more time to synthesize new proteins than to activate enzymes that
are already present in the cell
3. Where are steroid hormones stored?: In fat droplets in the cell
cytoplasm until their release at the plasma membrane
4. Why do steroid hormones have a more sustained effect on the metabolism
of the cell?: Because they can create new proteins for the cell
5. What are the two types of glands?: endocrine and exocrine
6. Endocrine glands: -ductless
, BIOD 151
Secrete their own contents directly into the bloodstream for distribution
throughout the body
7. Exocrine glands: -have ducts
-secrete their contents directly into the epithelial surface
-example: salivary glands
8. Primary endocrine organs: Secrete hormones that chemically regulate body
functions
9. What are the primary endocrine organs?: Hypothalamus, pituitary gland,
pineal gland, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, adrenal glands, pancreas
10. Secondary endocrine organs: Secrete hormones as a secondary function
11. What are the secondary organs: Heart, kidneys, gonads, thymus
12. Negative feedback: A mechanism that controls most hormones to
maintain homeostasis
13. Positive feedback: Enhances or increases the amount of the hormone
that is regulated
