Question 4 of 5
The chemical signaling system that relies on blood transport typically uses chemicals called
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Hormones, secreted by endocrine glands, travel via blood to distant targets, regulating processes like metabolism (e.g., insulin). Neurotransmitters act locally at synapses, not via blood neural signaling. Enzymes catalyze reactions, not signaling via transport. Ions (e.g., Ca²âº) mediate intracellular signals, not blood-based communication. Hormones' systemic delivery distinguishes them, key to endocrine function, unlike local, catalytic, or ionic roles.
Question 5 of 5
Identify the mechanisms that control the production and release of hormones.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Hormone release is controlled by hormonal (e.g., TRH to TSH), humoral (e.g., glucose to insulin), and neural (e.g., sympathetic to epinephrine) mechanisms triad covers endocrine regulation. Sensory isn't a direct mechanism external input, not release control. Hormonal-humoral-neural trio distinguishes it, critical for dynamic endocrine response, unlike sensory-inclusive errors.
