Question 1

Exophthalmos is a condition sometimes seen in patients with a parathyroid problem.&#8203;

Accepted Answer

Exophthalmos is commonly associated with Graves' disease, a thyroid condition, not a parathyroid problem.

Question 2

Epinephrine causes bronchial relaxation.&#8203;

Accepted Answer

Epinephrine acts as a bronchodilator, relaxing the muscles in the airways and allowing for easier breathing.

Question 3

The pancreas can perform both as an endocrine gland and an exocrine gland.&#8203;

Accepted Answer

The pancreas has both endocrine and exocrine functions. As an endocrine gland, the pancreas secretes hormones (insulin and glucagon) into the bloodstream to control blood sugar levels. As an exocrine gland, the pancreas produces and releases digestive enzymes that help break down food in the small intestine.

Question 4

Persons with Type 2 diabetes must take insulin and monitor blood glucose levels daily.&#8203;

Accepted Answer

While some people with Type 2 diabetes may require insulin therapy, not all do. Treatment for Type 2 diabetes typically involves a combination of lifestyle changes, oral medications, and/or injectable medications other than insulin. Monitoring blood glucose levels daily may also not be necessary for all individuals with Type 2 diabetes, as it depends on factors such as medication regimen and disease control.

Question 5

Hyperfunction of the pituitary gland in preadolescence results in _____.&#8203;&#10;A) &#8203;gigantism&#10;B) &#8203;dwarfism&#10;C) &#8203;Cushing's syndrome&#10;D) &#8203;diabetes mellitus

Accepted Answer

Hyperfunction of the pituitary gland in preadolescence can result in excessive production of growth hormone, which leads to gigantism. Dwarfism, on the other hand, results from a deficiency of growth hormone, not an excess. Cushing's syndrome is caused by hyperfunction of the adrenal gland, not the pituitary gland, and diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder that is not directly caused by hyperfunction of the pituitary gland.

Question 6

Norepinephrine is also called adrenalin.&#8203;

Accepted Answer

Norepinephrine and adrenaline (or epinephrine) are similar neurotransmitters, but they are not the same. Adrenaline is produced by the adrenal glands and has a more widespread effect on the body, while norepinephrine is mainly produced by the nervous system and has a more localized effect.

Question 7

The anterior pituitary gland secretes _____.&#8203;&#10;A) &#8203;growth hormone&#10;B) &#8203;vasopressin&#10;C) &#8203;oxytocin&#10;D) &#8203;calcitonin

Accepted Answer

The anterior pituitary gland secretes growth hormone, which stimulates growth and cell reproduction in humans and other animals. Vasopressin and oxytocin are produced by the posterior pituitary gland. Calcitonin is produced by the thyroid gland.

Question 8

Our bodies need to coordinate and integrate all of their functions into one harmonious whole to maintain homeostasis.&#8203;

Accepted Answer

This statement is true. Homeostasis refers to the ability of the body to maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in external conditions. This requires the coordination and integration of all bodily functions, such as the nervous, endocrine, respiratory, digestive, circulatory, and immune systems, to work together in harmony.

Question 9

The aging process causes a general decrease in all of the hormone secretions.&#8203;

Accepted Answer

While certain hormone secretions may decrease with age (such as reproductive hormones), other hormones (such as cortisol and insulin) may increase or remain stable. The aging process does not cause a general decrease in all hormone secretions.

Question 10

Excessive thirst is called _____.&#8203;&#10;A) &#8203;polyuria&#10;B) &#8203;polydipsia&#10;C) &#8203;polyphagia&#10;D) &#8203;polygastria

Accepted Answer
