Hypothalamus secretes the releasing hormones and the inhibitory hormones into:
1. | posterior pituitary | 2. | thalamus |
3. | hypophyseal portal veins | 4. | axons of the infundibulum |
Identify the pair where the source cells are not correctly matched with the hormone secreted by them:
1. somatotropes; GH
2. thyrotropes; thyroxine
3. mammatropes; PRL
4. corticotropes; ACTH
A hormone that is expected to stimulate mitosis directly would be:
1. thyrotropin
2. somatotropin
3. corticotropin
4. GHRH
A hormonal disorder that develops when pituitary gland produces too much growth hormone during adulthood is known as:
1. cretinism | 2. gigantism |
3. Conn’s syndrome | 4. acromegaly |
Sterility in a male can be caused by:
1. testosterone
2. prolactin
3. LH
4. ICSH
Being a nanopeptide, Oxytocin is closely related chemically to:
1. antidiuretic hormone
2. prolactin
3. melatonin
4. luteinizing hormone
Follicles are found in the ovaries and:
1. anterior pituitary
2. testis
3. thyroid
4. pancreas
The basal metabolic rate is most significantly influenced by:
1. | thyroxine | 2. | cortisone |
3. | adrenaline | 4. | melatonin |
All the following would be true for thyroxin except:
1. needed for normal mental growth
2. increases carbohydrate utilization
3. decreases lipid synthesis
4. decreases protein synthesis
The thyroid hormone that has the most potent effect on increasing metabolic rate would be:
1. thyroxine
2. thyroglobulin
3. triiodothyronine
4. thyrocalcitonin
