Multiple Choice Questions on Endocrine System Questions
Question 1 of 5
The hormone involved in rhythmic activities, such as day/night and seasonal changes, is .
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: melatonin. Melatonin is the hormone involved in regulating rhythmic activities like day/night and seasonal changes through its influence on the body's circadian rhythm. Calcitonin is a hormone that regulates calcium levels in the blood; estrogen is a female sex hormone; and cyclin is a protein involved in cell cycle regulation. Melatonin's role in regulating sleep-wake cycles and responding to changes in light exposure makes it the most appropriate choice for a hormone involved in rhythmic activities.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following statements correctly describe the peritoneum?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because the peritoneum is indeed the largest serous membrane in the body. It lines the abdominal cavity and covers the organs within it, providing lubrication and reducing friction. Choice B is incorrect because the peritoneum is a serous membrane, not a synovial membrane (Choice C) or a mucous membrane (Choice D). The peritoneum does not secrete synovial fluid like synovial membranes or produce mucus like mucous membranes. Hence, Choice A is the only statement that accurately describes the peritoneum.
