- Which of the following statements are false regarding the endocrine (hormones) in comparison to the paracrine system? (there may be more than one answer) Hormones are less stable than paracrine signals Hormones have a lower affinity for their receptors than paracrine signals Hormones are produced in a greater quantity than are paracrine signals Hormones are produced by most cell types; paracrine signals are only produced as a response to an insult (wound or infection). Hormones are produced from cells at a greater distance to their response elements than paracrine signaling.arrow_forwardWhich 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 ratearrow_forwardA hormone is said to have a effect when its presence enhances the effect of another hormone secondary antagonistic synergistic permissivearrow_forward
