Figure 37.11 Pancreatic tumors may cause excess secretion of glucagon. Type I diabetes results from the failure of the pancreas to produce insulin. Which of the following statement about these two conditions is true? A pancreatic tumor and type I diabetes will have the opposite effects on blood sugar levels. A pancreatic tumor and type I diabetes will both cause hyperglycemia. A pancreatic tumor and type I diabetes will both cause hypoglycemia. Both pancreatic tumors and type I diabetes result in the inability of cells to take up glucose.
Figure 16.14 Goiter, a disease caused by iodine deficiency, results in the inability of the thyroid gland to form T3 and T4 . The body typically attempts to compensate by producing greater amounts of TSH. Which of the following symptoms would you expect goiter to cause? a. Hypothyroidism, resulting in weight gain, cold sensitivity, and reduced mental activity. b. Hyperthyroidism, resulting in weight loss, profuse sweating and increased heart rate. C. Hyperthyroidism, resulting in weight gain, cold sensitivity, and reduced mental activity. d. Hypothyroidism, resulting in weight loss, profuse sweating and increased heart rate.
Figure 37.14 Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland is overactive. Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland is underactive. Which of the conditions are the following two patients most likely to have? Patient A has symptoms including weight gain, cold sensitivity, low heart rate, and fatigue. Patient B has symptoms including weight loss, profuse sweating, increased heart rate, and difficulty sleeping.
Addisons disease develops when the adrenal cortex does not secrete enough mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids. President John F. Kennedy was diagnosed with the disease when he was a young man. Before he started treatment with hormone replacement therapy, he was hypoglycemic and lost weight. Which missing hormone was responsible for his weight loss? How might Addisons disease have affected his blood pressure?
Match each hormone with its general effects on metabolism: promotes glycogenesis (storing glucose) insulin promotes lipogenesis (storing fats) glucagon and cortisol secretion increases when blood insulin glucose increases promotes glycogenolysis (breaking down glycogen) glucagon and cortisol promotes gluconeogenesis (making glucose) insulin > > > > >
Select the 4 numbers of the descriptors below that correctly describe the hormone thyroxine. Produced in the parathyroid gland Produced in the thyroid gland Increases the rate of fat, protein, and carbohydrate metabolism Increases the rate of calcium ion absorption Controlled by positive feedback Controlled by negative feedback Insufficiency results in fatigue and weight gain Insufficiency results in excess energy and weight loss
A rise in cortisol would cause an increase in each of the following. Which one is LEAST LIKELY to occur? The rate of glycogen formation by the liver Fatty acid metabolism by muscle cells The level of fatty acids in the blood Adrenocorticotropic hormone levels The rate of glucose synthesis by the liver

Insulin is responsible for which of the following functions? Stimulating the breakdown of fat and proteins into glucose Stimulates the breakdown of glycogen to glucose Increases sugar levels in bloodstream Transports glucose into cells
Glucagon and insulin act synergistically to increase blood glucose. True or False
Which of the following hormones is NOT correctly matched with it's function? adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) - stimulate adrenal cortex to produce glucocorticoids antidiuretic hormone - stimulate kidneys to reabsorb water epinephrine - induces the "fight or flight" response in the body parathyroid hormone - stimulates the thyroid to produce T3 and T4 thyroxine - increases the body's basal metabolic rate
