Respuesta
  • Chemical messenger travels short distance.
  • Effector tissues include virtually all tissues.
  • Characteristics of regulatory effects are slow to appear and long-lasting.
  • Receptors are located on the plasma membrane or within the effector cell.

Pregunta 3

Pregunta
All of the following are true statements except:
Respuesta
  • there are at least 16 different prostaglandins
  • the first prostaglandin was identified in semen
  • aspirin produces some of its effects by increasing PGE synthesis
  • PGFs have been used to induce labor and accelerate the delivery of a baby

Pregunta 4

Pregunta
Endocrine glands may be made up of
Respuesta
  • glandular epithelium
  • neurosecretory tissue
  • ducts to collect interstitial fluid
  • both glandular epithelium and neurosecretory tissue

Pregunta 5

Pregunta
The many hormones secreted by endocrine tissues are structurally classified as
Respuesta
  • steroid or nonsteroid hormones
  • anabolic or catabolic hormones
  • sex or nonsex hormones
  • tropic or hypotropic hormones

Pregunta 6

Pregunta
Which of the following is a function of glucagon?
Respuesta
  • Promotes the entry of glucose into tissue cells
  • Tends to decrease blood glucose concentrations
  • Tends to increase blood glucose concentrations
  • Converts glucose into glycogen

Pregunta 7

Pregunta
Principal thyroid hormone.
Respuesta
  • T4
  • T3 (triiodothyronine)
  • thyroxine
  • T4 and thyroxine

Pregunta 8

Pregunta
The production of thyroid hormone is stimulated by another hormone from the:
Respuesta
  • anterior pituitary
  • posterior pituitary
  • thyroid gland.
  • parathyroid gland

Pregunta 9

Pregunta
The common molecule from which all steroid hormones are derived is
Respuesta
  • phospholipids
  • cholesterol
  • lecithin
  • triglycerols

Pregunta 10

Pregunta
The first step in the renin-angiotensin mechanism is:
Respuesta
