Question 1

Uterine inertia is associated with hypersecretion of oxytocin.

Accepted Answer

Uterine inertia is characterized by weak or ineffective contractions, not a hypersecretion of oxytocin.

Question 2

It was in the middle of winter when the patient came to the doctor's office complaining of depression, weight gain, and problems with sleep.He was told that he had a condition related to hypersecretion of melatonin plus the lack of exposure to sunlight.He was diagnosed with:
A)SAD.
B)DKA.
C)ADA.
D)OGTT.

Accepted Answer

The patient's symptoms of depression, weight gain, and sleep problems during the winter months indicate a possible seasonal pattern. SAD is a type of depression that occurs during the same season each year, with symptoms typically starting in the fall and continuing through the winter. The lack of exposure to sunlight and hypersecretion of melatonin are common factors in the development of SAD. DKA (Diabetic Ketoacidosis), ADA (American Diabetes Association), and OGTT (Oral Glucose Tolerance Test) are not relevant diagnoses for this patient's symptoms.

Question 3

The adjective form of pancreas is ________.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The adjective form of pancreas is ________....

Question 4

Diabetes mellitus in the mother resolves once the pregnancy is delivered.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Diabetes mellitus in the mother resolves once...

Question 5

Hyposecretion of antidiuretic hormone results in:
A)hypoglycemia.
B)diabetes insipidus.
C)diabetes mellitus.
D)panhypopituitarism.

Accepted Answer

Hyposecretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) results in diabetes insipidus, a condition characterized by excessive urination and thirst. This occurs because ADH is responsible for regulating water reabsorption in the kidneys, and without enough of it, the body is unable to conserve water properly. Hypoglycemia, diabetes mellitus, and panhypopituitarism are not directly related to ADH deficiency.

Question 6

The ovaries are part of both the female reproductive system and the endocrine system and are affected by hormones from the anterior pituitary gland.

Accepted Answer

The statement is true. The ovaries produce hormones such as estrogen and progesterone that play a key role in the female reproductive cycle. Additionally, the anterior pituitary gland secretes follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which stimulate the development of ovarian follicles and the secretion of estrogen and progesterone. Therefore, the ovaries are influenced by hormones from the anterior pituitary gland.

Question 7

The thyroid gland has three lobes connected by a bridge of tissue.

Accepted Answer

The thyroid gland has two lobes connected by a bridge of tissue.

Question 8

During precocious puberty, testosterone from the testes produces primary and secondary sexual characteristics in a male child that include growth of the genitalia, deepening of the voice, and the appearance of body hair.

Accepted Answer

Precocious puberty in males is caused by an early release of testosterone from the testes, which can lead to the development of primary and secondary sexual characteristics such as growth of the genitalia, deepening of the voice, and the appearance of body hair.

Question 9

Gynecomastia can be a sign of hypersecretion of estrogen in the young female

Accepted Answer

Gynecomastia is a condition characterized by the enlargement of male breast tissue. It is not a sign of hypersecretion of estrogen in young females, but rather a result of various hormonal imbalances in males.

Question 10

When hormones work in conjunction with one another, it is called ________.

Accepted Answer

The answer of When hormones work in conjunction with one...

Question 11

Diabetes insipidus is caused by hyposecretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH).

Accepted Answer

Diabetes insipidus occurs due to insufficient production of ADH, which is responsible for the reabsorption of water in the kidneys. This leads to excessive production of dilute urine and dehydration.

Question 12

The medical name for the sudden onset of severe hyperthyroidism is a thyroid ________.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The medical name for the sudden onset...

Question 13

Antidiabetic drugs such as DiaBeta and Januvia are given by subcutaneous injection to treat diabetes mellitus.

Accepted Answer

Antidiabetic drugs such as DiaBeta and Januvia are typically given orally, not by subcutaneous injection. However, some types of insulin used to treat diabetes may be given by subcutaneous injection.

Question 14

Which type of thyroiditis is an immune disorder?
A)Hashimoto's
B)Cushing's
C)Addison's
D)Langerhans

Accepted Answer

Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune disorder where the body's own immune system attacks the thyroid gland, causing inflammation and damage over time.

Question 15

Which is a dangerous complication associated with diabetes mellitus in which the byproduct of incomplete fat metabolism builds up in the patient's blood?
A)ketoacidosis
B)hyperaldosteronism
C)myxedema
D)hyperglycemia.

Accepted Answer

Ketoacidosis is a dangerous complication associated with diabetes mellitus, in which the byproduct of incomplete fat metabolism builds up in the patient's blood. This can lead to a decrease in blood pH, which can have serious consequences for the patient's health. Hyperaldosteronism is a condition in which there is excess production of aldosterone hormone, which can lead to high blood pressure, but is not specifically associated with diabetes. Myxedema is a complication of hypothyroidism, again, not directly associated with diabetes. Hyperglycemia is a symptom of diabetes, not a complication.

Question 16

Insulin is secreted by the ________ cells in the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas.
A)alpha
B)beta
C)gamma
D)delta

Accepted Answer

Insulin is primarily secreted by the beta cells in the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas. Alpha cells secrete glucagon, gamma cells secrete pancreatic polypeptide, and delta cells secrete somatostatin.

Question 17

The glands of the endocrine system are located within the abdominopelvic cavity.

Accepted Answer

While some endocrine glands (such as the pancreas and kidneys) may be located partially or entirely within the abdominopelvic cavity, many others (such as the thyroid, parathyroid, and pituitary glands) are located outside of this cavity.

Question 18

Thyromegaly is also known as:
A)goiter.
B)dwarfism.
C)virilism.
D)precocious puberty.

Accepted Answer

Thyromegaly refers to enlargement of the thyroid gland, which is also known as goiter. Option B, C, and D are unrelated to the condition.

Question 19

Which symptom is common to diabetes mellitus as well as diabetes insipidus?
A)polyphagia
B)glycosuria
C)hyperglycemia
D)polydipsia

Accepted Answer

Both diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus can lead to polydipsia (excessive thirst). However, only diabetes mellitus is characterized by hyperglycemia (high blood glucose levels) and glycosuria (glucose in the urine). Polyphagia (excessive appetite) is a symptom of diabetes mellitus, but not diabetes insipidus.

Question 20

Glands of the endocrine system all release substances called hormones.

Accepted Answer

This statement is true. The glands of the endocrine system are responsible for producing and releasing hormones into the bloodstream, which then travel to different parts of the body to affect various physiological processes.
