Anabolic steroids are ______ forms of testosterone.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Anabolic steroids are synthetic derivatives of testosterone.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The adrenal glands, located atop the kidneys, secrete cortisol (metabolic stabilizer) and adrenaline (stress regulator).

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Suckling and dilation of the cervix are the physiologic stimuli for oxytocin secretion. Milk ejection is the result of oxytocin action, not the cause of its secretion. Prolactin secretion is also stimulated by suckling, but prolactin does not directly cause oxytocin secretion. Increased extracellular fluid (ECF) volume and hyperosmolarity are the stimuli for the secretion of the other posterior pituitary hormone, antidiuretic hormone (ADH).

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Rapid external responses (e.g., reflexes) are primarily nervous system-driven, not hormonal.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Lipophilic hormones (steroids, thyroid hormone) bind intracellular receptors, not second messengers.
