  1. 1What are the general functions of the Endocrine System?
    1. AMaintaining homeostasis
    2. BSecreting hormones into the bloodstream through glands
    3. CNegative feedback Loops are the primary loop
    4. DSecreting hormones into the bloodstream through ductless glands
  2. 2The Endocrine System is regulated through negative feedback mechanisms.
    1. ATrue
    2. BFalse
  3. 3The Anterior Pituitary Gland hangs from the [blank_start]medial base[blank_end] of the brain below the [blank_start]Hypothalamus[blank_end]. The Anterior Pituitary Gland produces [blank_start]five[blank_end] hormones those hormones include, [blank_start]Human Growth Hormone (HGH)[blank_end], [blank_start]Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)[blank_end], [blank_start]Adrenocorticotrophic Hormone (ACTH)[blank_end], [blank_start]Prolactin (PRL)[blank_end], and [blank_start]Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)[blank_end].
    1. Amedial base
    2. BHypothalamus
    3. Cfive
    4. DHuman Growth Hormone (HGH)
    5. EThyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
    6. FAdrenocorticotrophic Hormone (ACTH)
    7. GProlactin (PRL)
    8. HFollicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
  4. 4The Posterior Pituitary Gland is located at the [blank_start]base[blank_end] of the brain directly [blank_start]below[blank_end] the Hypothalamus. The Posterior Pituitary Gland [blank_start]doesn't[blank_end] produce hormones but [blank_start]stores them[blank_end] until it is stimulated to release them. The hormones it [blank_start]stores[blank_end] are [blank_start]Anti-Diuretic Hormone (ADH)[blank_end] and [blank_start]Oxytocin (OT)[blank_end].
    1. Abase
    2. Bbelow
    3. Cdoesn't
    4. Dstores them
    5. Estores
    6. FAnti-Diuretic Hormone (ADH)
    7. GOxytocin (OT)
  5. 5The Pineal Gland is attached to the [blank_start]Thalamus[blank_end] posterior to the [blank_start]Brain Stem[blank_end]. The Pineal Gland produces [blank_start]melatonin[blank_end], which is produced by the [blank_start]circadian rhythm[blank_end].
    1. AThalamus
    2. BBrain Stem
    3. Cmelatonin
    4. Dcircadian rhythm
  6. 6The Thyroid Gland is butterfly-shaped and located below the [blank_start]Larynx[blank_end] and around the [blank_start]Trachea[blank_end]. It absorbs iodine to produce [blank_start]Thyroxine[blank_end] (T4) and [blank_start]Triiodothreonine[blank_end] (T3). They target all cells and increase basal metabolic rate. [blank_start]Calcitonin[blank_end], also produced by the Thyroid Gland, targets [blank_start]osteoblasts[blank_end] and the [blank_start]Kidneys[blank_end] to decrease blood calcium levels.
    1. ALarynx
    2. BTrachea
    3. CThyroxine
    4. DTriiodothreonine
    5. ECalcitonin
    6. Fosteoblasts
    7. GKidneys
  7. 7The Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) is responsible for osteoclasts, kidneys, and small intestine and causes an increase in blood calcium.
    1. ATrue
    2. BFalse
  8. 8The Thymus Gland is located in the [blank_start]Mediastinum region[blank_end] posterior to the [blank_start]Sternum[blank_end].
    1. AMediastinum region
    2. BSternum
  9. 9Does the Pancreas produce any hormone? If so, what is it?
    1. AYes; Insulin
    2. BYes; Glucagon
    3. CNo
    4. DYes; None of the above
  10. 10The Adrenal Gland is superior to the Kidneys and has multiple parts. What are the parts called?
    1. AMedulla
    2. BCortex
    3. CNone of the above
    4. DNot a choice
