Textbook Question
Chapter 37, Problem 17RQ

- Insulin is produced in response to sudden stress without a rise in blood glucose
- Insulin is produced in response to a rise in glucagon levels
- Beta cells express epinephrine receptors
- Insulin is produced in response to a rise in blood glucose in the brain.

Chronic stress or GC exposure can cause insulin resistance. The influence of GC on insulin is complex, but leads to hyperinsulinemia (high circulating insulin levels) and insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is typically caused by a decreased number of insulin receptors on the cell surface. Speculate on a mechanism resulting in a decreased number of insulin receptors.
Both glucagon and epinephrine act to increase blood glucose levels. However, the action of epinephrine is much faster than glucagon.Select the row below that explains why.
Select one:
a.
Body's Response to Fear
Body's Response to Low Blood Sugar Levels
The hypothalamus releases ACTH. ACTH tells the adrenal medulla to release epinephrine.
Beta cells release insulin into the bloodstream. Insulin tells the liver, muscles, and fat to convert glycogen to glucose.
b.
Body's Response to Fear
Body's Response to Low Blood Sugar Levels
The hypothalamus releases ACTH. ACTH tells the adrenal medulla to release epinephrine.
Alpha cells release glucagon into the bloodstream. Glucagon tells the liver, muscles, and fat to convert glycogen to glucose.
c.
Body's Response to Fear
Body's Response to Low Blood Sugar Levels
Sympathetic neurons send a message from the hypothalamus directly to the adrenal medulla to release epinephrine.

Which statement best describes the relationship between the Endocrine and Nervous Systems?
Both systems work with the Urinary System to maintain acid-base balance in the blood
Both systems regulate hair growth, temperature regulation, and hydration
Both systems modulate the stress response, sleep/wake cycles, and metabolism
Both systems work with the Urinary System to activate Vitamin D

- Figure 37.11 Pancreatic tumors may cause excess secretion of glucagon. Type I diabetes results from the failure of the pancreas to produce insulin. Which of the following statement about these two conditions is true? A pancreatic tumor and type I diabetes will have the opposite effects on blood sugar levels. A pancreatic tumor and type I diabetes will both cause hyperglycemia. A pancreatic tumor and type I diabetes will both cause hypoglycemia. Both pancreatic tumors and type I diabetes result in the inability of cells to take up glucose.arrow_forwardCells of an overactive thyroid can be killed by radioactive iodine. Explain why the thyroids hormone-producing cells take up more radioactive iodine than other cells of the body.arrow_forwardDescribe how hormone receptors can play a role in affecting the size of the responses of tissues to hormones.arrow_forward
- Figure 37.14 Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland is overactive. Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland is underactive. Which of the conditions are the following two patients most likely to have? Patient A has symptoms including weight gain, cold sensitivity, low heart rate, and fatigue. Patient B has symptoms including weight loss, profuse sweating, increased heart rate, and difficulty sleeping.arrow_forwardHormone release and regulation is a complex interplay of control systems, feedback pathways and the concentration of circulating substances. Demonstrate your understanding of how negative feedback systems work by considering what would happen if the usual mechanisms no longer applied. You may like to think about an ectopic source of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), as secreted from a small cell carcinoma of the lung, as an example. In your explanation of how negative feedback systems can be derailed, describe how hormone/s released from the target endocrine organ usually regulate the feedback loop.arrow_forwardHuman hormones control everything within the body (as well as the behaviors of others around us). select one hormone and discuss what would happen to the body if it was no longer produced, if too much of it were to appear in the body, and what you could do about it if levels were incorrect.arrow_forward
- A newly discovered hormone X is determined to be structurally similar to cholesterol. Predict how this new hormone interacts with its target cellsarrow_forwardWhat statement is false? Types I and type II diabetes are characterized by high blood glucose and polyuria. Type I diabetes is cause by insulin deficiency Type Il is due to the hypo secretion of insulin. Type Il is related with receptors not responding to insulinarrow_forwardThe diagram below illustrates feedback control as exerted by the hormone thyroxine. Following surgical removal of the thyroid gland, the level of TSH in the blood will increase. inhibition Thyroxine feedback loop A B Which of the following best explains this increase? с hypothalamus thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) D anterior pituitary thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) inhibition thyroid gland thyroxine Residual blood thyroxine, prior to thyroid gland removal, will bind to cells in the anterior pituitary, signaling more TSH secretion. Thyroxine that was stored in the anterior pituitary prior to thyroid gland removal will sig. nal more TSH secretion. Thyroxine will remain bound to thyroxine receptors on various body cells, and these body cells will secrete additional hormones that stimulate the anterior pituitary to se crete TSH. A decrease in thyroxine levels means a loss of inhibition to the hypothalamus and ante rior pituitary, leading to increased TSH secretion.arrow_forward
- A group of college students is restricted to four hours of sleep per night for five days. After this time, the students are given a glucose tolerance test and are found to be pre-diabetic. Researchers hypothesize that the lack of sleep triggered the body to respond as if it were undergoing long-term stress. The hormone that is released in response to long-term stress and its effect on blood glucose levels are, respectively: Select one: a. Hormone Effect on Blood Glucose Levels Cortisol Raises blood glucose levels b. Hormone Effect on Blood Glucose Levels Cortisol Lowers blood glucose levels c. Hormone Effect on Blood Glucose Levels Adrenaline Lowers blood glucose levels d. Hormone Effect on Blood Glucose Levels Adrenaline Raises blood glucose levelsarrow_forwardWhy are Thyroid Stimulating Hormone levels low when T3 and T4 levels are elevated in Grave's Disease? In Graves' Disease, the pituitary gland is diseased causing low levels of TSH TSH stimulates T3 and T4 production, so if T3 and T4 are elevated TSH levels are decreased TRH, TSH, and T3/T4 are regulated by a positive feedback loop, so if T3 and T4 are elevated, TSH would be decreased TSH inhibits T3 and T4 production, so if T3 and T4 are elevated TSH levels are decreasedarrow_forwardA scientist studying pain processing in a mouse model administers a drug that inhibits proteolytic processing of proopiomelanocortin (POMC) in the pituitary.
