Name a peptide hormone which acts mainly on hepatocytes, adipocytes and enhances cellular glucose uptake and utilisation.
1. Insulin
2. Glucagon
3. Secretin
4. Gastrin

The posterior pituitary gland is not a ‘true’ endocrine gland because
1. it is provided with a duct
2. it only stores and releases hormones
3. it is under the regulation of hypothalamus
4. it secretes enzymes

Which one of the following hormones is not involved in sugar metabolism?
1. Cortisone
2. Aldosterone
3. Insulin
4. Glucagon

Identify the hormone with its correct matching of source and function.
1. Oxytocin-posterior pituitary, growth and maintenance of mammary glands
2. Melatonin-pineal gland, regulates the normal rhythm of sleep-wake cycle
3. Progesterone-corpus luteum, stimulation of growth and activities of female secondary sex organs
4. Atrial natriuretic factor-ventricular wall increases the blood pressure

Fight or flight reactions cause activation of
1. the parathyroid glands, leading to increased metabolic rate
2. the kidney, leading to suppression of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone pathway
3. the adrenal medulla, leading to increased secretion of epinephrine and norepinephrine
4. the pancreas leading to a reduction in the blood sugar levels

Which of the following statement is correct in relation to the endocrine system?
1. Adenohypophysis is under direct neural regulation of the hypothalamus
2. Organs in the body like gastrointestinal tract, heart, kidney and liver do not produce any hormones
3. Non-nutrient chemicals produced by the body in trace amount that act as intercellular messenger are known as hormones
4. Releasing and inhibitory hormones are produced by the pituitary gland

Select the answer which correctly matches the endocrine gland with the hormone it secretes and its function/deficiency symptom

Which one of the following pairs of hormones are the examples of those that can easily pass through the cell membrane of the target cell and bind to a receptor inside it (mostly in the nucleus)?

Match the source gland with its respective hormone as well as the function.

Injury to adrenal cortex is not likely to affect the secretion of which one of the following ?
1. Aldosterone
2. Both androstenedione and dehydroepiandrosterone
3. Adrenalin
4. Cortisol
