Question
--- ### Multiple Choice Questions on Endocrine System #### QUESTION 28 **Which of the following is true for a peptide hormone? It...** - ☐ is able to pass through the cell membrane - ☐ can act directly in the nucleus to stimulate protein synthesis - ☐ has a slower response time than a steroid hormone - ☑ utilizes a second messenger system #### QUESTION 29 **What does a "second messenger" do?** - ☐ It responds to a steroid hormone and carries the message into the cytoplasm of the receiving cell. - ☑ It responds to a peptide hormone and carries the message into the cytoplasm of the receiving cell. - ☐ It travels across the cell membrane of the receiving cell and triggers protein formation. - ☐ It acts as a negative feedback on the receiving cell. #### QUESTION 30 **Which of the following sets represents organs that are all derived from the mesoderm?** - ☐ Blood vessels, muscles, bones - ☐ Large intestine, skin, cecum - ☐ Stomach, bones, muscle - ☑ Nerves, muscles, stomach --- **Explanation of Concepts:** 1. **Peptide Hormones:** - Peptide hormones, unlike steroid hormones, cannot pass through the cell membrane. They utilize a second messenger system to relay their signal inside the cell. This allows for a quick and specific response. 2. **Second Messenger:** - A second messenger is a molecule that relays signals received at receptors on the cell surface. It is particularly involved in the mechanism of peptide hormone action. For instance, when a peptide hormone binds to its receptor on the cell surface, a second messenger inside the cell is activated to carry the message further into the cytoplasm. 3. **Mesoderm Derived Organs:** - The mesoderm is one of the three primary germ layers in early embryonic development. It gives rise to a variety of tissues and structures, including the muscles, cardiovascular system, skeletal structures, and certain internal organs like parts of the stomach lining. ---
