The human body is under neuroendocrine control. The endocrine regulation is not characterized by:
1. hormones reach targets through the blood
2. effects are slow and cyclic
3. rapid acting effects
4. effects caused by chemicals

Some hormones act through a second messenger. In such a case, the first messenger would be:
1. Diacyl glycerol
2. hormone
3. source cell
4. receptor

Which of the following is not a hormone?
1. paracrine regulators
2. NSAIDs
3. pheromones
4. steroids

Hydrophilic hormones:

1. activate intracellular receptors
2. pass through the plasma membrane
3. bind to membrane receptors to initiate signal transduction pathways
4. are usually fat-soluble

A paracrine regulator is the one that:
1. is alternatively named a hormone
2. travels through the blood
3. is secreted by the parathyroid gland
4. acts within an organ as a local regulator

Hydrophilic hormones are not characterized by the fact that:
1. They can act through intermediary G proteins.
2. A second messenger (e.g. cAMP) is often involved.
3. They can work by activation of transmembrane receptor proteins.
4. They have a long duration of action (e.g. days).

The proximate cause of a goiter would be:
1. reduced levels of TRH
2. a non-functional thyroid gland
3. elevated levels of thyroid stimulating hormone
4. depressed levels of thyroid stimulating hormone

A decrease in blood glucose is most likely to result in:
1. decreased insulin and glucagon production.
2. increased glucagon production.
3. glycogen being released into the blood.
4. increased glucagon production followed by glucose release from the liver.

When dehydration occurs, the response of the human body would be that:
1. More ADH is secreted.
2. Urine will become less concentrated.
3. Diuretic hormone will be secreted.
4. The urine output will increase.

A person has weight loss, nervousness, tachycardia and intolerance to heat. He may be suffering from:
