Question
An infant is breast feeding. Which hormone will be secreted to promote muscle contraction? ADH Epinephrine Ghrelin Leptin None of the above Body temperature homeostasis requires precise interaction between the nervous and endocrine systems. Which hormone is secreted to instruct the anterior pituitary to secrete TSH? ADH Ghrelin Leptin Thyroid TRH The nervous system and endocrine system must interact to enable an effective response to a perceived environmental threat. This response does not require - Calcitonin Epinephrine Glucocorticoids Mineralocorticoids Norepinephrine In response to high glucose levels, or high amino acid levels, in the blood, which hormone will be secreted to maintain glucose homeostasis? Glucagon Insulin ACTH ADH Ghrelin Which hormone is being investigated as a treatment for autism spectrum disorder? TRH Calcitonin PTH Oxytocin TSHExplanation / Answer
1. None of the above
Oxytocin is the hormone which promotes muscle contraction for breast feeding.
ADH maintains water level in blood. Epinephrine is released in adrenal medulla which increases heart rate, blood pressure etc. Ghrelin induces hunger while Leptin decreases hunger.
2. TRH (Thyrotropin releasing hormone) stimulates the secretion of TSH from anterior pituitary.
3. Calcitonin: it is not required in such response. It acts to normalize calcium level in blood by decreasing the increased level of calcium.
4. Insulin: Insulin is responsible for maintaining normal blood glucose levels and this hormone is secreted in pancreas. Glucagon is secreted when there is decrease in glucose level.
5. Oxytocin: also called hormone of love can be effective in autism spectrum disorder as it improves social behavior and social skills of a person.
