According to the article, metabolism is composed of all the chemical processes happening in your body’s cells every second

Anabolism is the breakdown of macronutrients that you consume into their simpler forms.

Your body stores glucose as?

Which of the following is an Acquired Metabolic Disorder?

Diabetes is a type of Inborn Error of Metabolism.

The endocrine system communicates with target cells by way of

Members of which group of hormones are made from cholesterol?

In general, steroid hormones bind to receptors on cell membranes, whereas peptide hormones bind to receptors inside of cells.

The hypophyseal portal system (circulation) refers to the blood vessels that link the anterior pituitary with the target glands of the anterior pituitary hormones.

What statement is true

Which are hormones secreted by the posterior pituitary?

Correctly match each hypothalamic releasing hormone with the hormone it causes to be released from the anterior pituitary. Correctly match each hypothalamic releasing hormone with the hormone it causes to be released from the anterior pituitary.

Which is an example of long-loop negative feedback?

A reduction in thyroid hormone secretion would tend to cause an increase in metabolic rate.

What term describes hormones that influence the secretion of other hormones?

During the fed state, there is net synthesis of fat, glycogen, and protein, but this process is reversed during the fasted state.

Which of the following acts to decrease blood glucose levels?

Which of the following hormones is released in response to real or perceived physiological stress?

Hyperglycemia, skinny arms and legs with extra fat in the face (moon face) and trunk (abdominal striae / stretch marks) are symptoms of

Weight loss, rapid heart rate, and heat sensitivity are likely symptoms of

Which of the following statements about thyroid hormones is TRUE?

Iodine is needed for the production of triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) by the thyroid gland.

Increased levels of cortisol in the blood will feed back to reduce Corticotropin Releasing Hormone via long-loop negative feedback.

Which hormone does Growth hormone cause to be released from the liver

Thyroid hormones increase metabolic rate, at least in part, by inhibiting the activity of the Na+/K+ ATPase.

The kidneys produce urine of a constant composition at all times, in order to maintain homeostasis of extracellular fluid.

Given these parts of a nephron: 1. renal corpuscle 2. collecting duct 3. loop of Henle 4. distal tubule 5. proximal tubule. Arrange the parts in order as fluid flows from the filtration membrane through the nephron.

Which of the following structures composes the renal corpuscle?

There are three basic renal processes for urine formation. Which of the following is NOT one of these processes?

Which of the following is least likely to be filtered into Bowman's capsule in a normal, healthy person?

All of the following substances are present in proximal tubular fluid in the kidney, but which one is NOT normally present in urine because it is completely reabsorbed?

If a substance is partially filtered at the glomerulus and is completely secreted it will not be present in the urine.

Constriction of the afferent arterioles increases hydrostatic pressure in the glomerular capillaries and thus increases glomerular filtration rate.

ADH is secreted by the posterior pituitary and stimulates the insertion of aquaporins in the cell membranes of the collecting duct which allows for the production of a concentrated urine.

Angiotensinogen is converted to Angiotensin I by______________, which is then converted into____________ by _________________ and ultimately causes a(n)__________________ in blood pressure.

The products of lipid digestion/emulsification in the small intestine are absorbed into the capillaries at the intestinal villi.

Voluntary control of defecation is associated with relaxation of the internal sphincter.
