++
Which of the following are incorrectly paired?
++
++
++
A. Epinephrine: increased glycogenolysis in skeletal muscle
++
++
B. Insulin: increased protein synthesis
++
++
C. Glucagon: increased gluconeogenesis
++

Which of the following would be least likely to be seen 14 days after a rat is injected with a drug that kills all of its pancreatic B cells?
++
++
++
A. A rise in the plasma H+ concentration
++
++
B. A rise in the plasma glucagon concentration
++
++
C. A fall in the plasma HCO3– concentration
++
++
D. A fall in the plasma amino acid concentration
++
++
E. A rise in plasma osmolality
++

When the plasma glucose concentration falls to low levels, a number of different hormones help combat the hypoglycemia. After intravenous administration of a large dose of insulin, the return of a low blood sugar level to normal is delayed in
++
++
++
A. adrenal medullary insufficiency.
++
++
++
++
C. combined adrenal medullary insufficiency and glucagon deficiency.
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
Insulin increases the entry of glucose into
++
++
++
++
++
++
++
C. the mucosa of the small intestine.
++
++
D. most neurons in the cerebral cortex.
++
++
++
++
++
Glucagon increases glycogenolysis in liver cells but ACTH does not because
++
++
++
A. cortisol increases the plasma glucose level.
++
++
B. liver cells have an adenylyl cyclase ...
