1) A thyroid gland that is secreting insufficient amounts of hormone would probably cause an individual to?
a- be overactive
b- be underactive
c- have a higher rate of metabolism
d- secrete smaller amounts of TSH
2) Which hormone acts antagonistically (opposed) to PTH?
a- PRL
b- Thyroxne
c- Calcitonin
d- Somatotropin
3) The fight-or-flight response is a ?
a- long-term stress response regulated by mineralcorticoids
b- short-term stress response regulated by the hormone cortisol
c- short-term stress response regulated by the hormone epinephrine
d- long-term stress response regulated by the hormone ACTH
4) The effect of epinephrine (adrenaline) is similar to stimulation of the ?
a- sympathetic nervous system
b- parasympathetic nervous system
c- sensory-somatic nervous system
d- central nervous system
5) The adrenal medulla is considered a neuroendocrine structure because?
a- neurons from the medulla oblongata are embedded in the adrenal medulla for regulation of its secretions
b- it impacts heart contractions resulting in increased volume and the rate of cardiac muscle contractions
c- it and the sympathetic nervous system prepare the body for the "alarm reaction" (fight or flight reaction) by influencing the release of adrenaline
d- sympathetic neurons and adrenal medulla cells are both formed from nervous system tissue in the developing embryo
