Question
Stress hormones of the adrenal glands are
Question 18 options:
corticotropin-releasing hormone and ACTH
acetylcholine and serotonin
androgens and estrogens
epinephrine/norepinephrine and cortisol
Which of the following supports the notion that heredity contributes to differences in body weight?
Question 28 options:
Pima Indians in the U.S. and Mexico share the same genes, but only those persons who live in a particular environment develop obesity.
Several forms of human obesity involve a deficit in ghrelin production, which can be treated by ghrelin injection.
Twin studies indicate that genes account for 25 percent of the variability in body fat accumulated when people are fed a high-fat diet.
Twin studies indicate that genes account for little of the variability in body fat accumulated when people are fed a high-fat diet.
Saying that schizophrenia has a genetic basis means that
Question 30 options:
there is a gene that is responsible for schizophrenia
schizophrenic parents will have schizophrenic children
a twin of a schizophrenic person has a greater than average chance of developing schizophrenia
some races are more schizophrenic than others
a)corticotropin-releasing hormone and ACTH
b)acetylcholine and serotonin
c)androgens and estrogens
d)epinephrine/norepinephrine and cortisol

Explanation / Answer
Stress hormones of the adrenal glands are
Question 18 options:
corticotropin-releasing hormone and ACTH
acetylcholine and serotonin
androgens and estrogens
epinephrine/norepinephrine and cortisol
It is reported that when hypothalamus produces corticotrophin-releasing hormone(CRH) that stimulates the pituitary gland to release adrenal corticotrophic hormone(ACTH) with the result to alert the adrenal glands to produce corticosteroid hormones.
It is also known that adrenal cortex releases small amounts of hormones such as estrogen and testosterone which are overshadowed by the greater amounts of release by the ovaries or testes.
Hormones secreted by the adrenal medulla are Epinephrine also known as adrenline that rapidly responds to stress by increasing heart rate. Nonepinephrine works with epinephrine for blood pressure while responding to stress.
In the light of above the correct choice is d) epinephrine/norepinephrine and cortisol

Among the alternatives (a) is recommended as it refers to obesity and genes for heredity.
Saying that schizophrenia has a genetic basis means that
Question 30 options:
there is a gene that is responsible for schizophrenia
schizophrenic parents will have schizophrenic children
a twin of a schizophrenic person has a greater than average chance of developing schizophrenia
some races are more schizophrenic than others
As per my understanding when it is stated that Schizophrenia has a genetic basis means a) there is a gene that is responsible for schizophrenia.
It may be worth mentioning that based on scientific research it is concluded that schizophrenia is caused by multiple genetic abnormalities that result in range of varied symptoms in individual patients. It is also researched that a monozygotic (identical) twin of a person with schizophrenia has the highest risk, say 40 to 65 percent chance of developing the illness.
Therefore my answer is c)
a)corticotropin-releasing hormone and ACTH
b)acetylcholine and serotonin
c)androgens and estrogens
d)epinephrine/norepinephrine and cortisol
