Multiple choice biology control and coordination in living organisms control of blood glucose endocrine system and hormone hormones in human reproduction testes and ovary parts of the brain kidney

Which hormone can increase rate of formation of glycogen, volume of blood in vessel and rate of heart beat?

  1. Insulin

  2. Glucagon

  3. Adrenaline

  4. FSH
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Adrenaline is a natural stimulant hormone made in the adrenal gland of the kidney. Adrenaline is carried in the bloodstream and affects the autonomous nervous system, which controls functions such as the heart rate, dilation of the pupils, and secretion of sweat and saliva.

Hormone responsible for the implantation of embryo in uterus and formation of placenta is

  1. Adrenaline

  2. Progesterone

  3. Estradiol

  4. FSH
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Progesterone is a hormone secreted by ovaries. It maintains the lining of the uterus during the middle part of the menstrual cycle and during pregnancy. If a pregnancy occurs, progesterone is produced in the placenta, and levels remain elevated throughout the pregnancy. One of the progesterone's most important functions is to cause the endometrium to secrete special proteins during the second half of the menstrual cycle, preparing it to receive and nourish an implanted fertilized egg. If implantation does not occur, estrogen and progesterone levels drop, the endometrium breaks down and menstruation occurs.

Luteinizing hormone

  1. Stimulates ovulation

  2. Stimulates the egg mother cell to undergo completion of meiotic cycle

  3. Stimulates the corpus luteum to secrete progesterone

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

In females, ovulation of mature follicles on the ovary is induced by LH secretion known as the preovulatory LH surge. Residual cells within ovulated follicles proliferate to form corpus luteum, which secretes the steroid hormones progesterone and estradiol. Progesterone is necessary for the maintenance of pregnancy, and, in most mammals, LH is required for continued development and function of corpora lutea. The name luteinizing hormone derives from this effect of inducing luteinization of ovarian follicles.

Testosterone, a hormone responsible for the development of secondary sexual characteristics in male is produced by the

  1. Spermatogonia

  2. Seminiferous tubules

  3. Anterior lobe of the pituitary

  4. Cells that lie between seminiferous tubules
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Leydig cells, also known as interstitial cells of Leydig, are found adjacent to the seminiferous tubules in the testicle. They produce testosterone in the presence of luteinizing hormone (LH).

Male hormone is

  1. Adrenalin

  2. Testosterone

  3. Progesterone

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

In men, testosterone plays a key role in the development of male reproductive tissues, such as the testis and prostate as well as promoting secondary sexual characteristics, such as increased muscle, bone mass, and the growth of body hair.

Leydig's cells secrete

  1. Oestrogen

  2. Progesterone

  3. Testosterone

  4. Aldosterone
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The male sex hormone testosterone is produced by Leydig cells. These cells are located in the connective (interstitial) tissue, that holds the tubules together within each lobule. The tissue becomes markedly active at puberty under the influence of the interstitial-cell-stimulating hormone of the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland.

The effect of prolactin will be marked in

  1. Bones

  2. Pancreas

  3. Mammary gland

  4. Liver
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Prolactin is produced both in the anterior pituitary gland. It stimulates the mammary glands to produce milk (lactation); increased serum concentrations of prolactin during pregnancy cause enlargement of the mammary glands of the breasts and prepare for the production of milk.

Which hormone is secreted at the time of parturition?

  1. Progesterone

  2. Thyroxin

  3. Relaxin

  4. Glucocorticoid
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

In women, relaxin is secreted into the circulation by the corpus luteum in the ovary. During pregnancy it is also released from the placenta, the membranes, which surround the foetus, and the lining of the uterus. During pregnancy, relaxin levels are at their highest in the first trimester. At this time it is believed to promote implantation of the developing foetus into the wall of the uterus and the growth of the placenta. Towards the end of pregnancy, relaxin promotes rupture of the membranes surrounding the foetus and the growth, opening and softening of the cervix and vagina to aid the process of childbirth. Relaxin can relax the ligaments at the front of the cervix to ease delivery of the baby.

Adenohypophyseal hormone, that stimulates the gonads in males and females are called as

  1. Prolactin

  2. Luteotropic hormone

  3. Follicle stimulating hormone

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

Gonadotropins are secreted from the anterior pituitary gland and act on the gonads (i.e., the ovaries or testes). Gonadotrophs secrete two primary gonadotropins: luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).
