What is the correct to say about the hormone action in humans?A. Glucagon is secreted by `beta-`cells of islets of Langerhans and stimulated glycogenolysis.B. Secretion of thymosin is stimulated with aging.C. In females, FSH first binds with specific receptors on ovarian cell membrane.D. FSH stimulates the secretion of androgens. |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - C Mechanism of hormone action is not the same in all categories of hormones. These hormones bind with the specific receptors located in their target tissues. Hormone receptor is of two types: membrane bound receptor and intracelular receptor. FSH is a proteinaceous hormone, has large molecular weight and is insoluble in lipids, therefore, it cannot enter the target cell . Thus, it binds with the membrane bound receptor present on ovarian cell membrane |

Which of the following statements is correct in relation to the endocrine system.A. Adenohypophysis is under direct neural regulation of the hypothalamusB. Organs in the body like gastrointestinal ract, heart, kidney and liver do not produce any hormonesC. Non-nutrient chemicals produced by the body in trace amount that act as intercellular messenger are known as hormonesD. Releasing and inhibitory hormones are produced by the pituitary gland |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - C Hormones are non-nutrient chemicals, which act as intracellular messengers and are produced in trace amounts. Endocine cells are present in different parts of the gastrointestinal tract, e.g., gastrin, secretion, GIP. Atrial wall of our heart secretes a peptide hormone called ANF (Atrial Natriuretic Factor), RH//IH are produced by hypothalamus. Adenohypophysis is not direct under neural control. it is under the control of hypothalamic hormones, brought by portal system. |
