Parathyroid hormone (PTH):
-
stimulates the release of calcium by the kidneys
-
stops the absorption of calcium from the intestine
-
causes blood calcium level to decrease
-
causes blood phosphate level to decrease
Hormones are used to communicate between the organs of the body. The release of parathyroid hormone causes blood phosphate level to decrease. When blood calcium level is low, this hormone is released so that the level comes back to normal. Increased level of PTH may lead to joint pains, muscles weakness and many more effects.
Which hormone affects physical appearance?
-
male and female
-
steroid
-
growth
-
gonadotropin-releasing hormone
- Male and female hormones or the gonadotropin-releasing hormones have almost the same functions, they induce the primary and secondary sexual characteristics
- steroid type of hormones play a role in the physiological effect on the body,
- Growth type of hormones affects physical appearance.
ACTH controls the secretion of :
-
epinephrine
-
cortisol
-
testosterone
-
aldosterone
ACTH is secreted by adenohypophysis of the pituitary gland and controls the secretion of adrenal cortical hormone named as cortisol,
- Antiinflammatory
- Immuno-suppressive
- RBC production
- BMR regulation.
Low levels of adrenal cortex hormones result in :
-
Addison disease
-
Cushing syndrome
-
tetany
-
goiter
Hyposecretion of adrenal cortex hormone (Cortisol) that is a glucocorticoid hormone results in the Addison disease.
- Blood sodium (low)
- Blood potassium(More)
- Blood glucose(Low)
- Blood pressure(Low)
The primary target organ of aldosterone is :
-
the kidney
-
the pancreas
-
the liver
-
all of the above
Aldosterone is type of Mineralo-corticoid hormne, it affects the kidney in low GFR (glomerulation filtration rate) condition and maintain it.
Which of the following is pheromone?
-
Linalool
-
Disparlure
-
BHA
-
Alitame
Disparlure is an pheromone.
Progesterone is secreted by:
-
Thyroid
-
Ovaries
-
Adrenal
-
Testes
A steroid, progesteron is secreted chiefly by the corpus luteum, a group of cells formed in the ovary after the follicle ruptures during the release of egg cell.
The hypothalamus regulates :
-
heart rate
-
glandular secretions
-
body temperature
-
all of the above
Hypothalamus is the portion of the brain that contains a no. of small nuclei with a variety of functions. It regulates heart rate, glandular secretion, body temperature.
Which of the following is a chemical messenger that produced in the body region but affect a different body region?
-
Hormones
-
Enzyes
-
Endocrines
-
Nucleic acids
Hormones produced by the anterior pituitary that have a direct effect on the body, rather than trigger another gland, are :
-
TSH, ACTH, and gonadotropic hormones
-
FH, LSH and progesterone
-
GH, prolactin, and MSH
-
testosterone and estrogen
GH, prolactin and MSH are not the releasing or inhibitory factors, they have a direct effect on the body,
- GH(growth hormone) also called as STH(somatotrophic hormone) induces the formation of IGF and sometomedian, these compounds induces the growth of bones and other organs
- Prolactin also called as lactotrophic hormones induces-
- Growth of mammary glands
- Synthesis of milk
- synthesis of antigonadotrophin
- MSH(melanocyte stimulating hormone) is secreted from adenohypophysis and induce metachrosis( changing of color in amphibians).
