Question

Erythropoietin is produced by the                            [ Select ]                       ["kidney", "pancreas", "liver", "duodenum"]         in response to                              [ Select ]                       ["distonia", "acidosis", "hypoxia", "high salt concentrations"]         , and that results in the production of                            [ Select ]                       ["erythrocytes", "white blood cells", "lymphocytes"]

How are these functions related to specific hormones?

stimulates cellular uptake of plasma glucose

      [ Choose ]            insulin            aldosterone            glucagon      

stimulates breakdown of glycogen

      [ Choose ]            insulin            aldosterone            glucagon      

inhibits breakdown of fats

      [ Choose ]            insulin            aldosterone            glucagon      

inhibits breakdown of muscle protein

      [ Choose ]            insulin            aldosterone            glucagon      

The hormone                             [ Select ]                       ["insulin", "gastrin", "leptin", "glucagon"]       suppresses the breakdown of                            [ Select ]                       ["pancreatic", "liver", "striated muscle", "gluteus maximus"]         glycogen to yield glucose.

Lipids such as free fatty acids are absorbed into the cells of the                            [ Select ]                       ["large intestine", "appendix", "colon", "small intestine"]         and formed into                             [ Select ]                       ["LDL", "fat droplet", "chylomicron", "HDL"]         particles that enter the                             [ Select ]                       ["venous blood", "spleenic blood", "lymphatic"]       system.

When your bladder is really full,                            [ Select ]                       ["activation", "a complete block", "excitation", "inhibition"]         of                            [ Select ]                       ["somatic", "sympathetic", "parasympathetic", "visceral"]         neurons leads to relaxation of the                             [ Select ]                       ["external", "internal", "second"]         urethral sphincter. How do you keep from urinating involuntarily? It's because you still control the                            [ Select ]                       ["parasympathetic", "sexual", "somatic", "sympathetic"]         neurons that stimulate the muscles of your                            [ Select ]                       ["external", "internal", "third"]         urethral sphincter.

Explanation / Answer

Answer

Erythropoietin is produced by the kidney in response to hypoxia, and that results in the production of erythrocytes.

The erythropoietin hormone is mainly responsible for the formation of erythrocytes by stimulating precursor molecules in the bone marrow. The low level of oxygen in the blood stimulates the kidney cells to produce erythropoietin.

Insulin stimulates cellular uptake of plasma glucose   

Glucagon stimulates the breakdown of glycogen      

Insulin inhibits the breakdown of fats. Insulin inhibits the breakdown of muscle protein. The hormone insulin suppresses the breakdown of liver glycogen to yield glucose. Lipids such as free fatty acids are absorbed into the cells of the small intestine and formed into chylomicron particles that enter the lymphatic system.

When your bladder is really full,    activation of parasympathetic neurons leads to relaxation of the internal urethral sphincter. How do you keep from urinating involuntarily? It's because you still control the sympathetic neurons that stimulate the muscles of your internal urethral sphincter.
