Question
Chapter 23.2, Problem 5CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: Whether the anabolic steroids that are used by athletes contain cortisol or not.
Introduction: Cortisol is referred as a hormone that belongs to the glucocorticoid hormone class. This hormone is produced mainly in the adrenal glands and is produced in small quantities. The cortisol hormone is responsible for performing various functions in the body.

Cortisol plays a very important role in the stress response, because it:
A) increases heart rate, blood pressure, and cardiac output.
B) increases parasympathetic activity to relax the body and promote recovery after the stressor ends.
C) increases metabolism, glucose availability, and blood supply to muscles.
D) all of these option
What would be the NEGATIVE consequence for athletes who use an excessive amount of EPO as a performance-enhancing substance?
Increased oxygen-carrying capacity of white blood cells
Increased hematocrit, blood viscosity, and risk of stroke
Reduced testosterone and testicular atrophy
Increased heart rate, blood pressure, and risk of heart failure
Neuroendocrine glands are glands that are made up of both nervous tissue and endocrine tissue. This means that they can be directly stimulated by the nervous system to produce or release hormones. The pituitary gland and parathyroid gland are examples.Describe a situation/example for each (pituitary gland and parathyroid gland) that demonstrates the function mentioned above. Be specific.

Occasionally, hypertension is a result of an underlying illness and requires different treatment. Because adrenal function is critical for (1) blood pressure, (2) potassium, and (3) glucose homeostasis, an adrenal etiology should be considered in all patients with blood pressure problems accompanied by electrolyte abnormalities, unexplained change in weight, failure to thrive, inappropriate virilization, and anxiety periods.

A discussion of adrenal causes, diagnoses, and treatments for each is found within the chapter.

ACTH will be released by the posterior pituitary gland to stimulate the adrenal gland, glucocorticoid will be released by the adrenal cortex and increase serum glucose levels, mineralcorticoids will be released by the adrenal cortex and potentiates catecholamine effects, Epinephrine will be secreted by the adrenal cortex in an attempt to increase blood serum glucose levelsarrow_forwardThe endocrine system is composed of glands that secrete hormones that regulate the activity of different body cells. The pituitary gland is often called the "master gland" because it controls the activities of other glands. Discuss a disorder associated with either hypo or hypersecretion of a specific hormone secreted by the pituitary gland. Include in your discussion the answer to the following: What effect will an increase or decrease in production have on the target organs?What signs and symptoms are associated with this condition and how is it treated?arrow_forward
