Endocrine System Review

Which is NOT a function of the endocrine system?

• Regulation of growth, metabolism, sexual development

• Responses to stress and injury

• Maintains homeostasis

• Sending chemical signals in response to stimuli

• Sending electrical signals in response to stimuli

Hormones are made out of all of the following except:

• Proteins

• Amino Acids

• Carbohydrates

• Glycoproteins

• Cholesterol

Endocrine secretions are sent:

• To locations open to the outside world

• To locations inside the body, but some distance away

• To locations inside the body, but to cells that are next to where it was secreted from

• To the cell that sent it

Exocrine secretions are sent:

• To locations open to the outside world

• To locations inside the body, but some distance away

• To locations inside the body, but to cells that are next to where it was secreted from

• To the cell that sent it

Autocrine secretions are sent:

• To locations open to the outside world

• To locations inside the body, but some distance away

• To locations inside the body, but to cells that are next to where it was secreted from

• To the cell that sent it

Paracrine secretions are sent:

• To locations open to the outside world

• To locations inside the body, but some distance away

• To locations inside the body, but to cells that are next to where it was secreted from

• To the cell that sent it

The ideal level for a molecule or compound in the body is known as the:

• Set Point

• Unmoveable Point

• Ideal Point

• Goal Point

When the concentration of a substance deviates from the ideal level, then it is returned to that level by a hormone. What kind of feedback is this?

• Positive Feedback

• Negative Feedback

• Neutral Feedback

• Changing Feedback

When a signal is received and continues to increase or be amplified, what kind of feedback is this?

• Positive Feedback

• Negative Feedback

• Neutral Feedback

• Changing Feedback

Which feedback loop is most common in the body?

• Positive Feedback

• Negative Feedback

• Neutral Feedback

• Changing Feedback
