Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The receptor site for steroid hormones is inside the nucleus of the cell.

Answer: G
 Nonsteroid hormones do not have a receptor site inside the nucleus of the cell and work through secondary messengers.

Answer: C
 Target organ cells are the cells that have specific receptors for hormones and are affected by them.

Answer: A
 Endocrine glands secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream to affect target organs.

Answer: F
 Exocrine glands secrete their products into ducts, not into the bloodstream.

Answer: E
 Prostaglandins are local hormones that act close to their site of production.

Answer: H
 Cyclic AMP (cAMP) is a secondary messenger used by some nonsteroid hormones.

Answer: B
 Negative feedback is a feedback loop that responds to excessive hormone levels by reducing their production.

Answer: I
 Positive feedback is a feedback loop that responds to a stimulus by amplifying its effects rather than returning them to normal.
