- List the hormones secreted by the pituitary gland.
thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormones (LH
- True or False: Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is released by the hypothalamus into the bloodstream.
False
- Where is glucagon created?
pancreas
- What is the function of chief cells and where can they be found?
The gastric chief cell (also known as a zymogenic cell or peptic cell) is a cell in the stomach that releases pepsinogen and chymosin.
- Which of the following is false regarding the posterior and the anterior pituitary gland?
I. Posterior pituitary gland receives hormones that are synthesized in the hypothalamus
II. Both glands release peptide and steroid hormones
III. Both glands synthesize hormones that are released after they receive a signal from the hypothalamus
II. Both glands release peptide and steroid hormones
- The sodium-potassium pump is an antiporter that moves potassium ions into the cell and sodium ions out of the cell. This pump-like action demands ATP. What can you determine about the electrochemical gradient of sodium?
This pump’s operation consumes ATP to maintain the concentration gradient, resulting in a higher concentration of sodium ions outside the cell compared to inside. This establishes an electrochemical gradient for sodium, making it tend to move into the cell if given the opportunity, which plays a crucial role in various cellular processes.
- What part of a neuron is responsible for electrochemically stimulating nearby cells?
axon
- Distinguish between the cerebral cortex and the cerebrum.
While the cerebral cortex is primarily associated with conscious thought and information processing, the cerebrum encompasses a broader range of functions, including memory, perception, and motor control.
- What would be affected if your temporal lobe was damaged?
Memory Impairment, Language, and Communication, Auditory and Visual Processing
- What would be affected if your parietal lobe was damaged?
your sense of direction relative to the world around you. A major part of that is how you tell left from right, how you orient yourself and parts of your body using your eyesight, and how you understand sensory input from both sides of your body
- Which type of blood vessel has valves?
Veins
- Monocytes move from the systemic circulatory system into general connective tissues, where they differentiate into what phagocytic cell type?
macrophages
- Humoral immunity is a type of adaptive immunity that results in the circulation of which of the following throughout the blood?
Antibodies
adaptive immunity refers to antigen-specific components flowing through the plasma, such as antibodies, their function, and the cells that produce them.
- What blood type is known as the universal donor?
O-
- Which hormone helps maintain your blood glucose level between breakfast and lunch?
glucagon and insulin
- Gaps in the myelin sheath are termed ___________.
nodes of Ranvie
- Which ion needs to be pumped to the exterior of the axon in order to generate a nerve impulse?
Sodium ions
- In hemodialysis _______ are removed from the blood.
waste products and excess substances, such as urea, creatinine, electrolytes, and excess fluids, are removed from the blood.
- T/F: The valves’ purpose is to assist in creating more muscular contractions of the atriums and ventricles
False. The primary purpose of heart valves is to ensure the unidirectional flow of blood through the heart and prevent backflow.
- ________ is a characteristic of adaptive immunity but not innate immunity.
Memory
