Question 2

Match the systems, labelled a. through c. with their characteristics. (Options may be used more than once or not at all.)
a.the endocrine system
b.the nervous system
c.both the endocrine and nervous systems
-secretes chemical messengers that affect target cells

Accepted Answer

Both the endocrine and nervous systems secrete chemical messengers. The endocrine system does so through hormones released into the bloodstream, affecting distant target cells, while the nervous system uses neurotransmitters to affect target cells at synapses.

Question 3

Match the systems, labelled a. through c. with their characteristics. (Options may be used more than once or not at all.)
a.the endocrine system
b.the nervous system
c.both the endocrine and nervous systems
-structural continuity in the system

Accepted Answer

The nervous system is characterized by structural continuity, as it consists of neurons that form a continuous network for the transmission of signals throughout the body. The endocrine system, on the other hand, operates through the release of hormones into the bloodstream, which is not a structurally continuous process.

Question 5

Match the hormones, labelled a. through f., with their activities. (Options may be used more than once or not at all.)
a.vasopressin
b.oxytocin
c.TSH
d.ACTH
e.growth hormone
f.GnRH
-stimulates secretion of thyroid hormone

Accepted Answer

TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) stimulates the secretion of thyroid hormone.

Answer: D 
 ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) stimulates the release of cortisol from the adrenal glands.

Answer: E 
 Growth hormone stimulates cell division and growth in various tissues, including bone and muscle.

Answer: F 
 GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone) stimulates the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the pituitary gland, which are involved in the regulation of the menstrual cycle and reproductive function.

Answer: A and B 
 Vasopressin and oxytocin are involved in the regulation of various physiological processes, including water balance, uterine contractions during childbirth, and lactation. They are not directly involved in the regulation of thyroid hormone secretion, cortisol release, growth, or reproductive function.

Question 6

Match the systems, labelled a. through c. with their characteristics. (Options may be used more than once or not at all.)
a.the endocrine system
b.the nervous system

Question 7

Match the systems, labelled a. through c. with their characteristics. (Options may be used more than once or not at all.)
a.the endocrine system
b.the nervous system
c.both the endocrine and nervous systems
-stores hormones for secretion

Accepted Answer

The endocrine system stores hormones for secretion, while the nervous system uses electrical impulses to communicate signals between cells. Both systems can have an effect on each other, but only the endocrine system is responsible for hormone storage and secretion.

Question 8

Match the systems, labelled a. through c. with their characteristics. (Options may be used more than once or not at all.)
a.the endocrine system
b.the nervous system
c.both the endocrine and nervous systems

Question 11

Match the systems, labelled a. through c. with their characteristics. (Options may be used more than once or not at all.)
a.the endocrine system
b.the nervous system
c.both the endocrine and nervous systems
-Pancreas has ductless cells that secrete.

Accepted Answer

The pancreas secretes hormones such as insulin and glucagon into the bloodstream, making it part of the endocrine system. The fact that the cells are ductless also indicates that they are secreting hormones directly into the blood rather than through a duct, further supporting that it is part of the endocrine system. The nervous system does not involve the secretion of hormones.

Question 12

Match the hormones, labelled a. through f., with their activities. (Options may be used more than once or not at all.)
a.vasopressin
b.oxytocin
c.TSH
d.ACTH
e.growth hormone
f.GnRH
-stimulates both estrogen and progesterone secretion

Accepted Answer

GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone) stimulates the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which in turn stimulate the release of estrogen and progesterone.

Answer: B 
 Oxytocin stimulates uterine contractions during childbirth and milk ejection during breastfeeding. It does not directly affect the secretion of estrogen or progesterone.

Question 13

Match the systems, labelled a. through c. with their characteristics. (Options may be used more than once or not at all.)

a.the endocrine system
b.the nervous system
c.both the endocrine and nervous systems
-controls activities that require longer duration rather than speed

Accepted Answer

The endocrine system controls activities that require longer duration rather than speed by releasing hormones into the bloodstream, which then travel to target organs or tissues.

Question 16

Match the systems, labelled a. through c. with their characteristics. (Options may be used more than once or not at all.)
a.the endocrine system
b.the nervous system
c.both the endocrine and nervous systems
-has an influence on other major control system

Accepted Answer

Both the endocrine and nervous systems have an influence on other major control systems in the body. The nervous system uses electrical impulses to transmit messages quickly, while the endocrine system uses hormones to send messages more slowly but can have a longer-lasting effect on the body. Together, they work to maintain homeostasis and regulate bodily functions.
