Chapter 17 Endocrine System Test Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
The hormone that stimulates the contraction of smooth muscle in the uterus is .
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: oxytocin. Oxytocin is the hormone responsible for stimulating the contraction of smooth muscle in the uterus during childbirth and labor. It acts on the smooth muscle cells in the uterine wall, causing them to contract and aiding in the process of childbirth. A: Follicle-stimulating hormone is involved in the regulation of the reproductive system, particularly in the development of ovarian follicles. C: Prolactin is primarily responsible for milk production in the mammary glands. D: Luteinizing hormone triggers ovulation and the formation of the corpus luteum in the ovary. Therefore, the correct answer is B because it directly affects the contraction of smooth muscle in the uterus, which is essential during childbirth.
Question 2 of 5
Like the small intestine, the large intestine has villi to aid absorption?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: FALSE. The large intestine does not have villi like the small intestine. Villi are finger-like projections in the small intestine that increase surface area for nutrient absorption. The large intestine primarily absorbs water and electrolytes, and does not have villi. Other choices are incorrect because the large intestine does not have villi and does not aid in absorption like the small intestine.
