Worked practice questions

The endocrine system uses ___ to coordinate body functions.

  1. Hormones (chemical messengers secreted into blood)
  2. Nerves
  3. Neurotransmitters only
  4. Salts
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Hormones (chemical messengers secreted into blood)

**Endocrine system:** ductless glands secrete hormones directly into bloodstream. Hormones reach target cells with specific receptors. Slower but more sustained action than nervous system. Two systems coordinate together (neuroendocrine integration).

Thyroid hormones T3 and T4 contain which element?

  1. Iron
  2. Iodine (3 atoms in T3, 4 in T4)
  3. Calcium
  4. Sulfur
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Iodine (3 atoms in T3, 4 in T4)

T3 = triiodothyronine, T4 = thyroxine (tetraiodothyronine). Both contain iodine. Made from tyrosine + iodine in thyroid follicles. T3 more active. Iodine deficiency → goiter, hypothyroidism. Iodized salt prevents deficiency.

Insulin is secreted by:

  1. Alpha cells of pancreas
  2. Liver
  3. Beta cells of pancreatic islets of Langerhans
  4. Acinar cells
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Beta cells of pancreatic islets of Langerhans

Islets of Langerhans (endocrine pancreas, ~2% of pancreatic mass) contain: α cells (glucagon), β cells (insulin), δ cells (somatostatin), F/PP cells (pancreatic polypeptide). Acinar cells are exocrine (digestive enzymes).
