Multiple choice zoology endocrine system and chemical co-ordination classification of hormones endocrine system and hormone hormones and metabolism

Hormones can be differentiated from neurotransmitters on the basis of the fact that

  1. Hormones modify cellular activity

  2. Hormones are secreted into the bloodstream

  3. Hormones produce a change in animal behavior

  4. Hormones attach to receptors on the cell surface

  5. Hormones are released in response to external stimuli

B Correct answer
Explanation
Neurotransmitters are the chemical messenger that is released from an axon terminal of a neuron in response to an action potential. Whereas a hormone is a long distance chemical mediator that is secreted by an endocrine gland into the blood which is transported to target cells. Thus, the correct answer is option B.

Which of the following is a feature of endocrine glands?

  1. Secrete vitamins

  2. Cease functioning after adolescence

  3. Begin functioning in adolescence

  4. Have ducts

  5. Ductless glands
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
E Correct answer
Explanation

  • Endocrine glands are glands of the endocrine system that secrete their products, hormones, directly into the blood(ductless) rather than through a duct.
  •  The major glands of the endocrine system include the pineal gland, pituitary gland, pancreas, ovaries, testes, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, hypothalamus and adrenal glands. Hence, Ductless gland is a feature of endocrine glands.
So, the correct answer is 'Ductless glands'.

Which of the following hormones is derived from a single amino acid?

  1. Thyroxine

  2. Oxytocin

  3. Estradiol

  4. Epinephrine
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Hormones can be classified based on their chemical nature like amino acid derivative hormones, peptide hormones, iodothyronines and steroid hormones. Hormones like epinephrine, norepinephrine, thyroxine are derived from amino acids. Epinephrine and norepinephrine are released by renal medulla. These are derived from single amino acid tyrosine. Thyroxine is released by thyroid gland. It is also derived from tyrosine amino acid by the addition of iodine.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Epinephrine.'

How many of these hormones are lipid soluble? FSH, LH, Iodothyronine, Epinephrine, Aldosterone, Progesterone.

  1. Two

  2. Three

  3. Four

  4. One
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Lipid soluble hormones are the hormones that can be dissolved in fats rather than in water. They are usually formed from cholesterol and lipids, therefore fat-soluble hormones can pass through cell membrane. Examples of lipid soluble hormones are progesterone and aldosterone.
So the correct answer is 'Two'.

Correct hormonal sequence in the rate of man is 

  1. Oestrogen, Fs, progesterone

  2. Oestrogen, progesterone, FSH

  3. FSH, progesterone, oestrogen

  4. FSH, oestrogen , progesterone
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The secretion of gonadotropin s (LH & FSH) increase gradually during the follicular phase and stimulates follicular development as well as secretion of oestrogens and progesterone. 


So the correct option is " FSH, oestrogen, progesterone".

Which of the following is TRUE regarding atrial natriuretic factor (ANF)?

  1. When blood pressure is increased, ANF is secreted which causes dilation of the blood vessels

  2. ANF is a peptide hormone

  3. ANF is secreted by the atrial wall of the heart

  4. All of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

When the blood pressure is increased it results in excess of blood flow to the Heart. When the blood flow to the heart is increased it leads to the stretching of the atrial wall and the release of ANF (Atrial natriuretic polypeptide) from the atrial walls. The ANF is a polypeptide hormone which causes the vasodilation (dilation of blood vessels) and thereby decrease the blood pressure. Hence ANF is a peptide hormone which is secreted by the atrial wall of the heart when blood pressure is increased and causes dilation of the blood vessels which results in the decrease of the blood pressure.

So, the correct option is 'All the above'.

Which of the following hormone is steroid?

  1. Epinephrine

  2. Thyroxine

  3. Estrogen

  4. Gonadotropin
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
The steroids are organic compounds involved in biological processes. Steroid hormones are generally synthesized from cholesterol in gonads and adrenal glands. They are basically lipids. For example, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, etc.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Estrogen.'

Hormone responsible for the absorption of water in DCT is

  1. ADH

  2. ACTH

  3. Oxytocin

  4. Insulin
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also known as vasopressin, is primarily responsible for increasing water reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubules and collecting ducts of the kidney. This action helps the body retain water and concentrate urine.
