Question 7

Indicate which characteristics apply to the hormones by using the following answer code: (Note: more than one answer may apply.) -Secretion is directly stimulated by an increase in plasma K⁺. A)epinephrine B)cortisol C)aldosterone D)dehydroepiandrosterone

Accepted Answer

Aldosterone secretion is directly stimulated by an increase in plasma potassium (K+) levels.

Question 8

Indicate which characteristics apply to the hormones by using the following answer code: (Note: more than one answer may apply.)
-Stimulates protein degradation.
A)epinephrine
B)cortisol
C)aldosterone
D)dehydroepiandrosterone

Accepted Answer

Cortisol is a steroid hormone that stimulates protein degradation. This is one of the ways it helps regulate glucose metabolism in the body. Epinephrine and aldosterone do not have this effect, and dehydroepiandrosterone is not known to have a significant role in protein degradation.

Question 9

Indicate which characteristics apply to the hormones by using the following answer code: (Note: more than one answer may apply.)
-Inhibits CRH and ACTH in negative-feedback fashion.
A)epinephrine
B)cortisol
C)aldosterone
D)dehydroepiandrosterone

Accepted Answer

Cortisol inhibits CRH (corticotropin-releasing hormone) and ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) in negative-feedback fashion as part of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Epinephrine, aldosterone, and dehydroepiandrosterone do not directly inhibit CRH and ACTH secretion.

Question 10

Indicate which characteristics apply to the hormones by using the following answer code: (Note: more than one answer may apply.)
-Promotes female sex drive.
A)epinephrine
B)cortisol
C)aldosterone

Accepted Answer

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a hormone that is produced by the adrenal glands and helps to promote female sex drive.

Indicate which characteristics apply to the hormones by using the following answer code: (Note: more than one answer may apply.)
-Enhances K? elimination.
A)epinephrine
B)cortisol
C)aldosterone

Accepted Answer

Aldosterone enhances potassium (K+) elimination from the body, while epinephrine, cortisol, and dehydroepiandrosterone do not have a significant effect on potassium elimination.

Question 12

Indicate which characteristics apply to the hormones by using the following answer code: (Note: more than one answer may apply.)
-Is essential for life.
A)epinephrine
B)cortisol
C)aldosterone
D)dehydroepiandrosterone

Accepted Answer

The answer of Indicate which characteristics apply to the hormones...

Question 13

Indicate which characteristics apply to the hormones by using the following answer code: (Note: more than one answer may apply.)
-Is stored in chromaffin granules.
A)epinephrine
B)cortisol
C)aldosterone
D)dehydroepiandrosterone

Accepted Answer

Epinephrine is stored in chromaffin granules in the adrenal medulla.

Question 14

Indicate which characteristics apply to the hormones by using the following answer code: (Note: more than one answer may apply.)
-Stimulates hepatic gluconeogenesis.
A)epinephrine
B)cortisol
C)aldosterone
D)dehydroepiandrosterone

Accepted Answer

Cortisol stimulates hepatic gluconeogenesis, which means it increases glucose production in the liver.

Question 15

Indicate which characteristics apply to the hormones by using the following answer code: (Note: more than one answer may apply.)
-Secretion is stimulated via the renin-angiotensin system.
A)epinephrine
B)cortisol
C)aldosterone
D)dehydroepiandrosterone

Accepted Answer

Aldosterone secretion is stimulated via the renin-angiotensin system, whereas the other hormones listed are not primarily regulated by this system.

Question 16

Indicate which characteristics apply to the hormones by using the following answer code: (Note: more than one answer may apply.)
-Stimulates hepatic glycogenolysis.
A)epinephrine
B)cortisol
C)aldosterone
D)dehydroepiandrosterone

Accepted Answer

Epinephrine is the hormone that stimulates hepatic glycogenolysis. It is a hormone released from the adrenal medulla during times of stress, which helps to increase energy availability for the body.

Question 18

Indicate which characteristics apply to the hormones by using the following answer code: (Note: more than one answer may apply.)
-A catecholamine.
A)epinephrine
B)cortisol
C)aldosterone
D)dehydroepiandrosterone

Epinephrine is a catecholamine.

Question 19

Indicate which characteristics apply to the hormones by using the following answer code: (Note: more than one answer may apply.)
-Exerts a glucose-sparing effect by inhibiting glucose uptake by many tissues but not the brain.
A)epinephrine
B)cortisol
C)aldosterone
D)dehydroepiandrosterone

Accepted Answer

Cortisol is a glucocorticoid hormone that inhibits glucose uptake by many tissues but not the brain, hence exerting a glucose-sparing effect. Epinephrine is a catecholamine hormone that stimulates glucose release by the liver and uptake by certain tissues, and thus has the opposite effect. Aldosterone is a mineralocorticoid hormone that regulates electrolyte balance and blood pressure, while dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is an androgen hormone that has various physiological effects, such as promoting muscle growth and bone density.
