The anterior pituitary receives products from the hypothalamus by the hypophyseal portal system and produces six hormones. The posterior pituitary is an extension of the brain and releases hormones (antidiuretic hormone and oxytocin) produced by the hypothalamus. The thyroid gland is located in the neck and is composed of two lobes connected by the isthmus. The thyroid is made up of follicle cells that produce the hormones thyroxine and triiodothyronine. Parafollicular cells of the thyroid produce calcitonin. The parathyroid glands lie on the posterior surface of the thyroid gland and produce parathyroid hormone. The adrenal glands are located on top of the kidneys and consist of the renal cortex and renal medulla. The adrenal cortex is the outer part of the adrenal gland and produces the corticosteroids, glucocorticoids, and mineralocorticoids. The adrenal medulla is the inner part of the adrenal gland and produces the catecholamines epinephrine and norepinephrine. The pancreas lies in the abdomen between the stomach and the small intestine. Clusters of endocrine cells in the pancreas form the islets of Langerhans, which are composed of alpha cells that release glucagon and beta cells that release insulin. Some organs possess endocrine activity as a secondary function but have another primary function. The heart produces the hormone atrial natriuretic peptide, which functions to reduce blood volume, pressure, and Na + concentration. The gastrointestinal tract produces various hormones that aid in digestion. The kidneys produce renin, calcitriol, and erythropoietin. Adipose tissue produces leptin, which promotes satiety signals in the brain. Q: The pituitary gland is associated with what bodily system? A:
A:
output: endocrine

Answer the following question given this paragraph: A voltaic cell uses a spontaneous redox reaction to generate an electric current. It is also possible to do the opposite. When an external source of direct current is applied to an electrochemical cell, a reaction that is normally nonspontaneous can be made to proceed. Electrolysis is the process in which electrical energy is used to cause a nonspontaneous chemical reaction to occur. Electrolysis is responsible for the appearance of many everyday objects such as gold-plated or silver-plated jewelry and chrome-plated car bumpers. Q: A voltaic cell uses what type of reaction to generate an electric current A:

OPTIONS:
- spontaneous catalyst
- chemical reaction
- instantaneous redox
- spontaneous redox

Answer: spontaneous redox

Problem: OPTIONS:
- nebula
- black holes
- gas giants
- dwarf planets
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Makemake is the third-largest and second-brightest dwarf planet we have discovered so far ( Figure below ). Makemake is only 75 percent the size of Pluto. Its diameter is between 1300 and 1900 kilometers. The name comes from the mythology of the Eastern Islanders. Makemake was the god that created humanity. At a distance between 38.5 to 53 AU, this dwarf planet orbits the Sun in 310 years. Makemake is made of methane, ethane, and nitrogen ices. Q: Makemake and pluto are classified as what type of celestial object? A:
Answer: dwarf planets

Problem:OPTIONS:
- hemoglobin
- testosterone
- estrogen
- insulin

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Humoral Stimuli The term "humoral" is derived from the term "humor," which refers to bodily fluids such as blood. A humoral stimulus refers to the control of hormone release in response to changes in extracellular fluids such as blood or the ion concentration in the blood. For example, a rise in blood glucose levels triggers the pancreatic release of insulin. Insulin causes blood glucose levels to drop, which signals the pancreas to stop producing insulin in a negative feedback loop. Q: A rise in blood glucose levels triggers the pancreatic release of what hormone? A:
****
A: insulin

Problem:OPTIONS:
- binary fission
- fusion
- asexual
- sexual

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Q: What kind of reproduction, in general, relies on sets of cells that are precursors for eggs and sperm? A:
****
A:
sexual
