Endocrine System Multiple Choice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following anterior pituitary hormones stimulates general body growth?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Growth hormone (GH) from the anterior pituitary promotes body growth by stimulating protein synthesis and cell division, unlike prolactin (milk production) or thyrotropin (thyroid stimulation). Though options are cut off, 'A' aligns with GH's role. This distinguishes GH's systemic anabolic effects, essential for development, contrasting with lactation or metabolic regulators.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is NOT a common response of the body to long-term stress?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Long-term stress boosts lipolysis, gluconeogenesis, and protein breakdown for energy, suppresses digestion not glycogenesis (glucose storage), which insulin drives. 'Digestive activities' (D) fits as incorrect. This distinguishes stress's catabolic shift, critical for resource allocation, contrasting with anabolic or digestive priorities.

Question 4 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 5 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.
