BIOD 102 Exam 2 Questions with
Correct Answers 2024
1. What does the endocrine system consist of? - ANS -Glands,
organs and tissues that are responsible for the regulation and
coordination of all other body systems.
2. What specifically is the endocrine system responsible for (8)? -
ANS -1. Water balance
2. Ion regulation
3. Growth and metabolism
4. Heart rate and blood pressure
5. Blood glucose regulation
6. Reproductive functions
, 7. Uterine contractions during labor
8. Milk and release post labor
3. How does the endocrine system exert control (2)? - ANS -1.
Various types of signaling
2. Chemical ligands
4. What are the 3 categories of endocrine signaling? - ANS -1. Long
distance signaling
2. Local signaling
3. Signaling that overlaps with nervous system components to transport
ligands to cells
5. What are the 5 types of signaling? - ANS -endocrine, paracrine,
autocrine, synaptic, neuroendocrine
, 6. endocrine signaling - ANS -Form of long-distance signaling where
ligands are released and travel through blood to reach a target
cell, which could be anywhere is the body.
7. What does endocrine signaling play a role in? - ANS -Regulatory
processes such as maintaining blood pressure, blood volume, and
energy metabolism
Regulatory mechanisms such as growth, sexual maturation, and
reproduction.
8. paracrine signaling - ANS -Form of local signaling where ligands
are released near target tissues and move by diffusion. NOT
transported through blood.
