A.)The amount of glucose attached to A1C cells reflects the average blood glucose levels
over the life of the cell.

B)Hemoglobin synthesis by the bone marrow is inversely proportionate to blood glucose
levels, with low A1C indicating hyperglycemia.

,C)The high metabolic needs of red cells and their affinity for free glucose indicate the amount
of glucose that has been available over 6 to 12 weeks.

D)Insulin is a glucose receptor agonist on the hemoglobin molecule, and high glucose
suggests low insulin levels. - Correct Answer The amount of glucose attached to A1C cells
reflects the average blood glucose levels over the life of the cell."

is that her own body has destroyed the cells in her pancreas that produce insulin.""

body?

A.) Some chemical substances can function as hormones or be integrated with the central
and peripheral nervous systems.

B)Hormones directly initiate many of the processes that contribute to homeostasis.

effect on one specific system or tissue.

,D)Each hormone that exists in the body is produced by only one specific endocrine gland. -
Correct Answer Some chemical substances can function as either hormones or
neurotransmitters."

"What does a high level of thyroid-stimulating hormone indicate?

A.) Thyroid nodule

B.) Hyperthyroidism

C.) Myxedema

D.) Hypothyroidism - Correct Answer Hypothyroidism"

"Which of the following statements best captures the role of the adrenal cortex in maintaining
homeostasis?
Question 1 options:

A. Normal sexual function is dependent on adequate adrenal cortical function.

B. Redundant, secondary production of adrenal cortical hormones can compensate for the
loss of the adrenal glands.

C. The adrenal cortical hormones are primarily steroids and sex hormones.

D. The adrenal cortex is responsible for the production of epinephrine and norepinephrine,
which are part of the sympathetic nervous system. - Correct Answer The adrenal cortical
hormones are primarily steroids and sex hormones."

Question 3 options:

a. Glucose that exceeds metabolic needs is converted and stored by the liver.

b. Blood glucose levels are kept in a steady state by selective excretion and reuptake by the
kidneys.

c. Ingested glucose that is not needed for cellular metabolism circulates in the blood until it is
taken up to meet cellular needs.

d. Blood glucose levels are primarily a result of the timing, quantity, and character of food
intake. - Correct Answer Glucose that exceeds metabolic needs is converted and stored by
the liver."
