1. The human endocrine system is made up of which of the following structures? (1 point)

vessels
receptors
glands *
chambers
2. Which of the following best describes the function of the endocrine system? (1 point)
It secretes chemical messengers that travel through the blood to signal changes at target cells. *
It binds chemical messengers that travel through the blood from target cells.
It releases electrical impulses that travel through body cells to signal changes at target cells.
It converts chemical messages into electrical impulses to signal changes at target cells.
3. A hormone is under negative feedback regulation. This hormone stimulates water retention by the body. Which of the following will happen if water levels in the body get too high?
Hormone levels will increase.
Hormone levels will decrease.
Antibodies will form.
The kidneys will filter out more urea.*
4. Which of the following is true about diabetes? (1 point)
(1 point)
The pancreas overproduces glucose, and so insulin must be injected to reduce glucose levels.
The pancreas underproduces glucose, and so insulin must be injected to increase glucose levels. The pancreas overproduces insulin, and so glucose must be injected to regulate insulin levels.
The pancreas underproduces insulin, and so insulin must be injected to regulate glucose levels.*
5. How do the circulatory system and the endocrine system interact in helping to maintain (1 point) homeostasis in humans?
The endocrine system produces hormones that are transported by the circulatory system to target cells when changes are needed.
The circulatory system provides a way to transport cellular waste products to the endocrine system, which disposes of them.*
The endocrine system provides a storage site for excess raw materials needed by cells, and the circulatory system provides a means for transporting them.
The circulatory system signals to target cells in the endocrine system when changes need to be made to maintain balance in the body.

m ur correct exept for number five its A

Niki is right M got me one off but I'll still take it. Thanks to both of you

Nikki is right

The only biology class I ever took was with a terrible teacher in high school over 60 years ago.

3 and 5 are wrong.

#3's answer is that hormone levels will decrease. Your answer may be true, but that's not what the question is looking for.

#5's answer is that it produces hormones which are transported throughout the body. You answer... is a bit strange. the endocrine system has nothing to do with waste disposal, and question #2 shows you know this. So what was up with that?

niki is right i swear i got 100%

To answer the questions, here's how you can get the answers:

1. The human endocrine system is made up of glands.
- To answer this question, you would need to have knowledge about the human endocrine system and its components. The answer can be found in biology textbooks or online resources that discuss the human endocrine system.

2. The function of the endocrine system is to secrete chemical messengers that travel through the blood to signal changes at target cells.
- Again, you would need to have knowledge about the function of the endocrine system. This information can be found in biology textbooks or online resources.

3. If water levels in the body get too high, the kidneys will filter out more urea.
- This question asks you to understand the concept of negative feedback regulation and its effects on hormone levels and water retention in the body. By understanding how negative feedback works, you can deduce that the body will try to decrease hormone levels when water levels get too high, and one way to do that is by filtering out more urea through the kidneys.

4. Diabetes occurs when the pancreas underproduces insulin, and so insulin must be injected to regulate glucose levels.
- To answer this question, you need knowledge about diabetes and its causes. Diabetes is a condition where the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or produces no insulin at all, leading to high blood sugar levels. Insulin injections are needed to regulate the glucose levels in the body.

5. The circulatory system provides a way to transport cellular waste products to the endocrine system, which disposes of them.
- This question asks about the interaction between the circulatory system and the endocrine system in maintaining homeostasis. To answer this, you need to understand the roles of both systems. The circulatory system transports waste products to various organs, including the endocrine system, which can then dispose of them.

6. The phases in the correct order of human development are d, c, a, b.
- This question asks you to arrange the phases of human development in the correct order. To answer this, you need to know the typical sequence of human development stages. This information can be found in developmental psychology textbooks or online resources that discuss human growth and development.

In summary, to answer these questions, you need to have knowledge in the respective fields of biology and psychology and use that knowledge to deduce the correct answers.
