Question

question 10 (1 point)
in an emergency situation
digestion of sugars is accelerated.
glycogen is converted to glucose.
glucose is converted to glycogen.
endocrine suppression of glucose metabolism is experienced.
question 11 (1 point)
the hypothalamus controls the anterior pituitary with which of the following?
a) releasing factors
b) thalamus messenger
c) third messengers
d) antibodies
e) acetylcholine

Explanation:

For Question 10: In an emergency situation, the body needs a quick supply of energy. Glycogen is a stored form of glucose. When the body needs energy quickly (like in an emergency), glycogenolysis occurs, which is the conversion of glycogen to glucose. Digestion of sugars is a longer - term process. Converting glucose to glycogen (glycogenesis) occurs when there is an excess of glucose. Endocrine suppression of glucose metabolism would not be helpful in an emergency as it would reduce the availability of glucose.
For Question 11: The hypothalamus controls the anterior pituitary gland through releasing factors (also known as releasing hormones). These releasing factors are secreted by hypothalamic neurons, enter the hypophyseal portal system, and then act on the anterior pituitary cells to regulate the secretion of anterior pituitary hormones. The thalamus is not involved in this hypothalamus - anterior pituitary control. Third messengers are not the means of hypothalamic control over the anterior pituitary. Antibodies are part of the immune system and have no role in this endocrine control. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter, not the signal for hypothalamic - anterior pituitary communication.

Answer:

Question 10: glycogen is converted to glucose.
Question 11: A) releasing factors
