Endocrine System Multiple Choice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
The amount of ADH that is secreted by the posterior pituitary glands varies with
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) secretion from the posterior pituitary increases with high blood osmotic pressure, signaling dehydration, prompting water reabsorption in kidneys. Blood calcium, oxygen, or glucose levels don't directly regulate ADH calcium affects PTH, oxygen respiration, glucose insulin/glucagon. 'All choices' is incorrect as ADH's osmoregulatory role is specific. This distinguishes ADH's function in fluid homeostasis, critical for preventing dehydration, contrasting with unrelated metabolic or respiratory triggers.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following hormones is produced in zone of adrenal gland labeled B?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 3 of 5
The disorder shown in one of the identical twins seen in this figure is due to a hypersecretion of hormones by which endocrine gland?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Gigantism (implied) from pituitary hGH hypersecretion during growth causes excessive height, not thyroid (metabolism), pineal (melatonin), parathyroid (calcium), or pancreas (glucose). 'D' fits prior 'E' context. This distinguishes pituitary's growth role, key to stature disorders, contrasting with other glands.
Question 4 of 5
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is produced by the
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following is a protein hormone produced by the testes that inhibits secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone by the anterior pituitary gland?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
