Blood glucose levels remain stable between meals despite the fact that the body's cells continually use glucose as an energy source. Answer the following questions on how the body maintains blood glucose at normal levels (90-100 mg/dL blood) between meals. Which cells respond to fasting? Which hormone do they produce?
asap please.
Classify the following hormones into whether they are produced by the hypothalamus or the anterior pituitary gland.
Anterior Pituitary Hormones
Hypothalamic Hormones
Thyroid-stimulating hormone
(thyrotropin)
Luteinizing hormone
Thyrotropin-releasing hormone
Adrenocorticotropic hormone
Somatostatin
Corticotropin-releasing hormone
Growth hormone
Growth hormone-releasing
hormone
Gonadotropin-releasing
hormone
Prolactin-inhibiting hormone
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)

- Identify three hormones other than insulin and glucagon that affect glucose metabolism. Describe the effect of each hormone.arrow_forwardDescribe the main chemical groups of hormones (i.e. peptide / protein, amino acid derivatives, steroids, fatty acid derivatives) and that some are fat-soluble, others are water-soluble and that it is related to the chemical structure. Describe which hormones are released from different endocrine glands in different parts of the body, and transported via the blood to the target organ.arrow_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
- At a routine employment physical, a 30-year-old man is found to be mildly hypocalcemic, although he denies any symptoms. He does reveal that he has markedly reduced his consumption of dairy products and leafy greens over the past two months, citing gastrointestinal distress when these items were previously consumed. Analysis of his blood or an intestinal biopsy would be expected to reveal which of the following? Group of answer choices Increased parathyroid hormone secretion Increased formation of 24,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol Decreased amounts of calcium-binding protein in intestinal epithelial cells Increased plasma phosphatearrow_forwardGive five (5) differences of steroid hormone and peptide hormone.arrow_forwardState the action of each of the following hormones:a. triiodothyronineb. insulinc. glucagond. growth hormonee. cholecystokininarrow_forward

What is the mechanism by which the nervous system impacts stress hormones? Are there neurotransmitters involved? Which neurotransmitters? Which stress hormones?arrow_forwardList the major categories of hormones on the basis of their chemical structure. Describe how hormones interact with tissues to produce a response. Describe three methods of regulating the release of hormones.arrow_forwardHypersecretion of parathyroid hormone will: Group of answer choices inhibit osteoclast activity result in a faster rate of bone deposition enhance renal reabsorption of calcium inhibit of intestinal absorption of calciumarrow_forward
