b) delivers its secretions to the bloodstream via a duct or tube
c) is considered an 'effector'
d) delivers its secretions with the help of carrier proteins
paracrine regulation involves __________; while autocrine involves________
a) different cell types in the same tissue/ organ ; same cell type
b) activation/ inhibition of an adjacent gland ; self regulation by a gland via negative feedback
c) hormones that are delivered to multiple tissue types; delivery to only one tissue
d) hormones that inhibit the production of others ; hormones that inhibit their own production
Steroids, Melatonin, and Thyroid Hormones
a) are all lipophyllic
b) all use cAMP as a second messenger
c) are all made from metalloproteins
d) bind to surface receptors that are dimers
_________ hormones bind to surface receptors, while ________ bind to receptors inside the cell as they can permeate the cell membrane
a) Polar, Lipophyllic
b) Nuclear, Ligand
c) Receptor Mediated, CREB
d) First Messenger, Second Messenger
a prohormone like pro-opiomelanocortin can be cleaved to form
a) more than one functional hormone
b) a prehormone, that then becomes a functional hormone through iodination
c) a post hormone, like Estrogen
d) two dimers, which allow it to bind to nuclear receptors
Steroid hormones, which are all derived from _________, can be _____________, from the adrenal cortex, or sex hormones, which are made in the_____
a) Cholesterol, Corticosteroids, Gonads
b) Membrane Phospholipids, Adrenosteroids, Gonads
c) Cholesterol, Prostaglandins, Pituitary Gland
d) Short polypeptides, Corticosteroids, Testis, Ovaries, etc.
some hormones are also function as _________ in the nervous system
a) neurotransmitters
b) glial regulators
c) selective reuptake inhibitors
d) nutrients
the effect of all hormones is dependent on their ____________ in the ________ ____________
a) concentration, blood plasma
b) persistence, synaptic cleft
c) affinity, binding site
d) modification, target cell
______ is the time required for the concentration to drop by 50%
a) half- life
b) persistence
c) dwell time
d) clearance
Synergistic hormones can be _______, where the effects 'stack'; or _________ where....
a) additive; permissive... one hormone enhances the responsiveness of the cell to the other
b) summative; facultative... one hormone increases the concentration of the other
c) associative, complimentary.... multiple hormones are needed to achieve the target effect
d) homeodimers, heterodimers; ... different types of hormones come together to trigger the effect
Although they are ___________, insulin and glucagon do not inhibit the actions of each other
a) antagonistic
b) synergistic
c) reciprocal
d) conflated
Some hormones bind to nuclear receptor proteins, forming functional ________ that activate or inhibit specific ________ ______
a) Transcription Factors, Gene Expression
b) Catalyases; second messenger cascades
c) G- protein complexes, Adenylate Cyclase
d) post hormones, cellular processes
while the cAMP pathway generally activates protein kinases, the phospholipase C pathway
a) phosphorylates glycoproteins
b) triggers the release of calcium ions
c) leads to the opening of ion channels in the cell membrane
d) leads to fusion of vesicles bearing specific carrier proteins to the cell membrane
In the Tyrosine Kinase pathway, used by _________, the receptors are unique in that they are ______
a) Insulin, dimers
b) Thyroxine, Iondinated
c) apoptosis hormones, polyphylic
d) glucagon, G-protein mediated
The anterior pituitary gland releases its hormones, which primarily__________, in response to
a) activate other glands, hormones from the hypothalamus
b) regulate circadian rhythms, hormones from the pineal gland
c) regulate fluid homeostasis, innervation from the cerebellum
