Module 10 Quiz

Question 1

Which statement is true regarding the adrenal glands?

Answers:            

Adrenal glands are located on the superior portion of the liver

Adrenal glands produce gonadotropins

Hormones secreted by adrenal glands are influenced by growth hormone

 Imbalances of certain hormones secreted by the adrenal glands can lead to Addison’s and Cushing’s disease

Question 2

Which statement is true regarding antidiuretic hormone (ADH)?

Answers:            

ADH ultimately influences the kidneys to secrete more water, decreasing the body’s overall water retention

ADH is stored in the anterior pituitary

ADH stimulates the release of prolactin secretion too

 ADH will be secreted if the body is dehydrated

Question 3

Which endocrine gland is associated with and directly responsible for increasing and/or decreasing blood sugar levels?

Answers:            

Thyroid gland

Adrenal glands

Thymus gland

 Pancreas

Question 4

In a healthy patient, a decrease in production of Thyroid Hormone (T3 and T4) will cause an increase Thyroid-stimulating Hormone released from the pituitary gland.

Answers:            

 True

False

Question 5

Which endocrine hormone is associated with directly decreasing blood sugar levels?

Answers:            

Thyroid hormone

Glucagon

Prolactin

 Insulin

Question 6

Which statement is true regarding the endocrine system?

Answers:            

The pancreas produces and secretes insulin and aldosterone

 Both male and female gonads are influenced by luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)

The thyroid only produces and secretes out hormones that influence the body’s metabolism

The pineal gland is located in the lower neck region of the body

Question 7

A goiter is a common feature in which of the following disorders?

Answers:            

Addison’s disease

 Hypothyroidism

Diabetes Type 1

Diabetes Type 2

Question 8

Which endocrine gland is associated with and directly responsible for producing hormones such as cortisol that influence the body’s stress response?

Answers:            

Thyroid gland

 Adrenal cortex of the adrenal glands

Pancreas

Adrenal medulla of the adrenal glands

Question 9

Which statement is true regarding blood calcium levels and the endocrine system?

Answers:            

Calcitonin, melatonin, and aldosterone all have a direct impact on blood calcium levels

Calcitonin will increase the activity of osteoclasts

 Parathyroid hormone will increase the production of vitamin d and absorption of calcium within the gastrointestinal tract

Parathyroid hormone is produced and secreted by the thyroid gland

Question 10

Secretion of both Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing hormone (LH) is stimulated by which of these hormones?

Answers:            

Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)

Antidiuretic hormone

Oxytocin

 Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)

Question 11

Which endocrine hormone is associated with prescription medications that are used to suppress the immune system and have anti-inflammation properties?

Answers:            

 Cortisol

Aldosterone

Glucagon

Melatonin

Question 12

Which statement is true regarding endocrine system disorders?

Answers:            

 Excessive secretion of growth hormone (GH) in children can lead to gigantism

Hyperthryoidism leads to an increase of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)

Diabetes type 1 results from over-secretion of insulin and cellular resistance to insulin

Decreased levels of iodine in the body can lead to imbalances of pancreatic hormones

Question 13

Which endocrine hormone is associated with influencing an individual’s circadian rhythm (sleep/wake cycle)?

Answers:            

Aldosterone

 Melatonin

Cortisol

Prolactin

Question 14

Besides the major endocrine glands, many other organs also secrete hormones, such as the skin, kidney, and stomach.

Answers:            

 True

False

Question 15

In increase in Thyroid Hormone (T3 and T4) secretion results in an increase in body heat production and an increase in basal metabolic rate.

Answers:            

 True

False
