Question 5
Question

Answer
-
Under 530 nm.
-
Over 480 nm.
-
Over 530 nm.
-
Under 480 nm.
Question 6
Question
Dopamine plays a role in Melatonin secretion by:
Answer
-
Providing negative feedback to Melatonin formation.
-
Upregulating Melatonin receptors.
-
Enhancing the effects of Norepinephrine on Melatonin secretion.
-
Increasing in response to Melatonin binding with receptors.
Question 7
Question
5HT has which of the following functions and changes:
Answer
-
It decreases Serotonin production.
-
It is decreased by AANAT to be converted to Melatonin.
-
It is produced only during the day.
-
Its production leads to increased sympathetic activity and receptor activation on the pineal gland, ultimately leading to decreased Melatonin synthesis.
-
Dopamine activation of the D4 receptor heteromeres decreases 5HT in the morning.

Answer
- True
- False

Answer
-
Increasing LH.
-
