Question

Which Endocrine Hormone functions in these following:

1. Can stimulate an anti-inflammatory effect.  (inhibit WBC’s)?

2. Stimulates muscle and osteoblast activity and mobilizes lipid storage?

3. During prolonged hypoxic conditions this hormone will function to increase O2 transport?

4. T-cells and B-cells require this hormone to stimulate their maturation process?

Answer 1

1. Can stimulate an anti-inflammatory effect.  (inhibit WBC’s)?

Answer: Cortisol or gucocorticoids are the hormone secreted by the adrenal cortex that have anti-inflammatory effect.

2. Stimulates muscle and osteoblast activity and mobilizes lipid storage?

Answer: Growth hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland stimulates the muscle and bone growth.

3. During prolonged hypoxic conditions this hormone will function to increase O2 transport?

Answer: Erythropoietin secretd by the kidney in response to hypoxia stimuates the red blood ell formation by the bone marrow leading to increase in oxygen carrying capacity.

4. T-cells and B-cells require this hormone to stimulate their maturation process.

Answer: Thymosi is the hormone secreted by the thyus gland that causes the maturation of lymphocytes.
