Endocrine System Multiple Choice Questions Questions
Question 1 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 2 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 3 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 4 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.
Question 5 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.
