Receptors for steroid hormones are found .

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because steroid hormones are lipid-soluble and can diffuse through cell membranes. Once inside the cell, they bind to specific receptors in the cytoplasm. This hormone-receptor complex then enters the nucleus to regulate gene expression. Option A is incorrect because steroid hormone receptors are not found on nutrient molecules like glucose. Option B is incorrect as these receptors are not typically located in the interstitial fluid. Option D is also incorrect because steroid hormone receptors are not located on the cell membranes of target tissues.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Closes trachea when swallowing. The epiglottis is a flap of tissue that covers the trachea (windpipe) during swallowing to prevent food or liquid from entering the airway. It ensures that food goes down the esophagus instead of the trachea. This action helps protect the respiratory system from aspiration. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. B is incorrect because the epiglottis closes the trachea, not the esophagus, during swallowing. C is incorrect because the trachea is supported by rings of cartilage, not the epiglottis. D is incorrect because the epiglottis does not close the nasal cavity but rather the trachea.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Sympathetic division. This division of the autonomic nervous system is responsible for the body's "fight or flight" response during moments of danger. When an individual perceives a threat, the sympathetic division activates to prepare the body for action, including sending signals to the adrenal glands to release adrenaline and cortisol, which help increase heart rate, blood pressure, and energy levels. The other choices are incorrect because: A: The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord, which are responsible for processing and transmitting information within the body, but it does not directly send signals to the adrenal glands. C: The parasympathetic division is responsible for the body's "rest and digest" functions and works in opposition to the sympathetic division. It does not send signals to the adrenal glands during moments of danger. D: The peripheral nervous system consists of nerves outside the brain and spinal cord, including sensory and motor nerves, but it does not specifically send signals
