Question
13. Larger adrenal glands, shrunken thymus glands and gastric stress ulcers are characteristics of Hans Selye's A) generalized adaptation syndrome B) post-traumatic stress disorder C) anxiogenesis cascade D) somatic markers 14. After adjusting for overall brain size, the amygdala is significantly in than in A) smaller, men; women B) larger; men; women C) more active; men; women D) less active; men; women 15. Oxytocin and vasopressin are technically because they are released by a neuron instead of an endocrine gland. A) catecholamines B) neurohormones c) glucocorticoids D) neurotransmitters 16. Growth hormone is released from the A) hypothalamus B) anterior pituitary C) posterior pituitary D) parathyroid gland 17. Vasopressin is released from the A) hypothalamus B) anterior pituitary C) posterior pituitary D) thymus gland 18. The sex-determining region on the Y chromosome called the is important for encoding a protein that initiates the male sexual differentiation process. A) SRY gene B) MASC gene C) TEST gene D) ANDRO geneExplanation / Answer
13.general adaptation syndrome;The alarm reaction stage is the first sign of general adaptation syndrome and occurred in Selye's rats between 6 and 48 hours following the introduction of the “nocuous agent”.During this stage, the sympathetic branch of the ANS is activated — the adrenal gland secretes the stress hormone cortisol, along with adrenaline, and Selye observed that the rats' bodies underwent significant physical changes, including a reduction in bodily fat and the shrinking of numerous organs, including the liver and thymus and lymph glands. The body temperature was also lowered, conserving energy 14.Larger in men and than in women 15.The neurohormones in most mammals include oxytocin and vasopressin, both of which are produced in the hypothalamic region of the brain and secreted into the blood by the neurohypophysis (part of the pituitary gland). 16.Growth hormone (GH), also called somatotropin or human growth hormone, peptide hormone secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. It stimulates the growth of essentially all tissues of the body, including bone. 17.Antidiuretic hormone, also known commonly as arginine vasopressin, is a nine amino acid peptide secreted from the posterior pituitary. 18.The SRY gene provides instructions for making a protein called the sex-determining region Y protein. This protein is involved in male sexual development, which is usually determined by the chromosomes an individual has.
