Question 8

When combining with the target organ,the nervous system acts faster than the endocrine system.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 9

Which of the following is the correct short term response to stress?

Accepted Answer

A)  Stress triggers the hypothalamus to send nerve impulses to the spinal cord.From here they leave by the sympathetic fibers and go to the adrenal medullA.The adrenal medulla will release epinephrine and norepinephrine.Both of which will cause the heartbeat and blood pressure to increase.The blood glucose levels will rise and more energy will be available for the muscles.
B)  Stress triggers the anterior pituitary to send nerve impulses to the spinal cord.From here they leave by the sympathetic fibers and go to the adrenal medulla.The adrenal medulla will release epinephrine and norepinephrine.Both of which will cause the heartbeat and blood pressure to increase.The blood glucose levels will rise and more energy will be available for the muscles.
C)  Stress triggers the hypothalamus to send nerve impulses to the spinal cord.From here they leave by the sympathetic fibers and go to the adrenal medulla.The adrenal medulla will release glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids.Both of which will cause the heartbeat and blood pressure to increase.The blood glucose levels will rise and more energy will be available for the muscles.
D)  Stress triggers the hypothalamus to send nerve impulses to the spinal corD.From here they leave by the sympathetic fibers and go to the adrenal medulla.The adrenal medulla will release epinephrine and norepinephrine.Both of which will cause the heartbeat and blood pressure to decrease.The blood glucose levels will rise and more energy will be available for the muscles.
E)  Stress triggers the hypothalamus to send nerve impulses to the spinal cord.From here they leave by the sympathetic fibers and go to the adrenal medulla.The adrenal medulla will release glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids.Both of which will cause protein and fat metabolism to occur instead of glucose breakdown.Blood volume and pressure will increasE.F) All of the above
G) None of the above

Question 11

What is the reason behind why diabetics are often tired and fatigued?

Accepted Answer

A)  The diabetic is unable to bring in the correct amount of glucose into the cells.If the cells lack glucose then they are unable to convert it into ATP and supply energy for the body.The lack of energy is what leads to the tiredness and fatigue of the individual.
B)  The diabetic is unable to bring in the correct amount of glucose into the cells.If the cells lack glucose then they are unable to convert it into glycogen which is converted into ATP by the mitochondria.The lack of ATP is what leads to the tiredness and fatigue of the individual.
C)  The individual is not allowed to eat foods that are carbohydrate based.Since carbohydrates are the primary source of energy for the body,a lack of them will lead to tiredness and fatigue.
D)  The cells of the individual do not have enough transporters to allow the glucose to enter into them.This will prevent the nucleus from converting the glucose into ATP leading to the tiredness and fatigue of the individual.
E)  The cells of the individual are not able to produce enough aldosterone which is responsible for producing the mineralocorticoids.This will prevent the kidneys from secreting renin which is responsible for converting glycogen into glucosE.The lack of glucose is what leads to the tiredness and fatigue of the individual.F) A) and D)
G) C) and D)
