Regulation of the release of catecholamines from the adrenal medulla is an example of which type of
regulation?
A. Negative feedback
B. Positive feedback
C. Neural
D. Physiologic - answer-C. Neural
How does a faulty negative-feedback mechanism result in a hormonal imbalance?
A. Hormones are not synthesized in response to cellular and tissue activities.
B. Decreased hormonal secretion is a response to rising hormone levels.
C. Too little hormone production is initiated.
D. Excessive hormone production results from a failure to turn off the system. - answer-D. Excessive
hormone production results from a failure to turn off the system.

C. Estrogen
D. Testosterone - answer-A. Angiotensin II
The control of calcium in cells is important because it:
A. Is controlled by the calcium negative-feedback loop.
B. Is continuously synthesized.
C. Acts as a second messenger.
D. Carries lipid-soluble hormones in the bloodstream. - answer-C. Acts as a second messenger.
