-This gland controls circadian rhythms.

Accepted Answer

The pineal gland is responsible for producing the hormone melatonin, which regulates sleep-wake cycles and controls circadian rhythms.

a.adrenal cortex
b.ovary
c.pineal
d.parathyroid
e.thymus
-Calcium concentration in the blood is controlled by this gland.

Accepted Answer

The parathyroid gland regulates the concentration of calcium in the blood through the production of parathyroid hormone.

Question 4

-ovaries...

Question 6

Classification.Respond to the following statements in reference to the five endocrine glands listed below.
a.adrenal cortex
b.ovary
c.pineal
d.parathyroid
e.thymus
-This gland secretes a hormone that prepares and maintains the uterus for pregnancy.

Accepted Answer

The ovary secretes the hormone progesterone, which prepares and maintains the uterus for pregnancy. The adrenal cortex secretes hormones such as cortisol and aldosterone, which regulate metabolism and electrolyte balance. The pineal gland secretes the hormone melatonin, which regulates sleep patterns. The parathyroid glands secrete parathyroid hormone, which regulates calcium levels in the blood. The testes secrete testosterone, which regulates male characteristics and reproductive function.

Question 7

-adrenal glands

Accepted Answer

The answer of 
-adrenal glands...

Question 8

Classification.Respond to the following statements in reference to the five endocrine glands listed below.
a.adrenal cortex
b.ovary
c.pineal
d.parathyroid
e.thymus
-Progesterone is produced by this gland.

Accepted Answer

Progesterone is primarily produced by the ovaries, particularly during the second half of the menstrual cycle. Although the adrenal cortex can also produce progesterone in small amounts, it is not the primary gland responsible for its production. The pineal gland produces melatonin, the parathyroid gland produces parathyroid hormone, and the testes produce testosterone.

Question 9

Classification.Respond to the following statements in reference to the five hormones listed below.
a.estrogen
b.luteinizing hormone
c.somatotropin
d.oxytocin
e.antidiuretic hormone
-Uterine contractions are induced by this hormone.

Accepted Answer

Oxytocin is known for inducing uterine contractions during childbirth.

Question 10

-thymus

Accepted Answer

The answer of 
-thymus...

Question 11

Classification.Respond to the following statements in reference to the five hormones listed below.
a.estrogen
b.luteinizing hormone
c.somatotropin
d.oxytocin
e.antidiuretic hormone
-The kidneys are the target for this hormone.

Accepted Answer

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also known as vasopressin, is produced by the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary gland. Its primary function is to regulate water balance in the body by controlling the reabsorption of water in the kidneys. Therefore, the kidneys are the target for this hormone.

Question 12

-Four __________ glands make a hormone that acts on bone and kidney cells and raises blood calcium level.

Accepted Answer

The answer of 
-Four __________ glands make a hormone that...

Question 13

Classification.Respond to the following statements in reference to the five endocrine glands listed below.
a.adrenal cortex
b.ovary
c.pineal
d.parathyroid
e.thymus
-This gland plays a central role in the immune response.

Accepted Answer

The thymus gland is responsible for the development and maturation of T cells, which are crucial components of the immune system. It plays a central role in the immune response as it produces hormones that regulate the production and development of lymphocytes, which are white blood cells that help fight infections and diseases.

Question 14

-hypothalamus

Accepted Answer

The hypothalamus contains centers concerned with body temperature regulation and with salt and water balance.

Answer: C
 Messages from the hypothalamus influence sleep and wakefulness.

Answer: I
 The hypothalamus is often called the "emotional-visceral brain."

Answer: J
 The hypothalamus consists of sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions.

Answer: N
 The hypothalamus is responsible for the "rest and digest" response.

Question 15

-All vertebrates have an __________ system of secretory glands and cells.

Accepted Answer

The answer of 
-All vertebrates have an __________ system of...

Question 16

Classification.Respond to the following statements in reference to the five hormones listed below.
a.estrogen
b.luteinizing hormone
c.somatotropin
d.oxytocin
e.antidiuretic hormone
-This hormone induces protein synthesis and cell division in young animals.

Accepted Answer

Somatotropin, also known as growth hormone, is known to stimulate protein synthesis and cell division in young animals, promoting growth and development. Estrogen, luteinizing hormone, oxytocin, and antidiuretic hormone do not play a significant role in this process.

Question 17

-When blood glucose is low, alpha cells secrete __________, which calls for glycogen breakdown and glucose release by the liver.

Accepted Answer

The answer of 
-When blood glucose is low, alpha cells...

Question 18

-pancreas...

Question 19

-pineal gland

Accepted Answer

The pineal gland secretes melatonin in low light conditions.

Answer: M
 The pineal gland secretes oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone.

Note: None of the other options are correct for the pineal gland.

Question 20

-thyroid gland

Accepted Answer

The answer of 
-thyroid gland...
