Question 1 of 5

Which of the following is NOT related to adrenal medulla structure and function?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Regulates levels of glucose and minerals in the blood. The adrenal medulla is responsible for producing epinephrine and norepinephrine, not regulating blood glucose and minerals. The inner portion of the adrenal gland refers to the adrenal medulla. It is controlled by the nervous system, specifically the sympathetic nervous system. Epinephrine and norepinephrine produced by the adrenal medulla are involved in the body's fight-or-flight response, not in regulating blood glucose and minerals. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer as it is not related to adrenal medulla structure and function.

Question 2 of 5

Pituitary Hormone Triggering the Male Testes to Generate Sperm and in Females, Triggering Follicular Development Every Month Is

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). FSH is responsible for triggering follicular development in females and sperm production in males. In females, FSH stimulates the growth and maturation of ovarian follicles, leading to the release of an egg during ovulation. In males, FSH stimulates the Sertoli cells in the testes to support the development of sperm. A: Prolactin is not involved in the process of follicular development or sperm production. B: Growth hormone is not directly related to the regulation of reproductive functions. D: Luteinizing hormone (LH) is responsible for ovulation in females and testosterone production in males, but it is not the hormone that triggers follicular development or sperm production.

Question 3 of 5

Pituitary Gland, Which is Also the Master Endocrine Gland Is Controlled by Which of the Following?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Hypothalamus. The hypothalamus controls the pituitary gland by releasing hormones that stimulate or inhibit pituitary hormone production. This relationship is known as the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. The hypothalamus is considered the master controller of the endocrine system, making it the correct choice. A: Thyroid - The thyroid gland is not directly responsible for controlling the pituitary gland. It is a separate endocrine gland that produces its own hormones. C: Pineal gland - The pineal gland primarily regulates the sleep-wake cycle and produces melatonin. It does not play a direct role in controlling the pituitary gland. D: None of the above - This is incorrect as the hypothalamus does indeed control the pituitary gland.

Question 4 of 5

Carbohydrate absorption:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - GLUT2 transporter on basolateral membrane transports glucose, galactose, and fructose. - SGLT-2 transporter on apical membrane co-transports glucose and galactose with Na. - Fructose absorption is via facilitated diffusion, not secondary active transport. - Insulin increases, not decreases, carbohydrate absorption.

Question 5 of 5

Which stimulates parietal cell secretion?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: acetylcholine. Acetylcholine directly stimulates parietal cells in the stomach to secrete hydrochloric acid. It binds to muscarinic receptors on parietal cells, leading to an increase in acid production. Prostaglandins (A) inhibit acid secretion, aspirin (B) can cause gastric irritation and ulcers, and vinegar (C) does not directly stimulate parietal cells.
