3. Epinephrine
4. Cortisol
Which one of the following pairs of hormones are the examples of those that can easily
pass through the cell membrane of the target cell and bind to a receptor inside it (mostly
in the nucleus)?
1. Insulin and glucagon
2. Thyroxin and insulin
3. Somatostatin and oxytocin
4. Cortisol and testosterone

4. cAMP
What is correct for the hormone whose mechanism of action is shown in the given diagram?
1. | This hormone will most likely be synthesized by the neural cells of the hypothalamus |
2. | This hormone cannot be thyroxin or triiodothyronine |
3. | This hormone can be a derivative of cholesterol |
4. | This hormone will have an almost instantaneous onset of action |
Which of the following is an incorrect statement
1. Hormones bind to specific proteins located in the target tissues only.
2. Receptors for hormones can only be present on the cell membrane
3. Each receptor is specific to one hormone only
4. Nuclear receptors are intracellular receptors
The binding of a hormone to its receptor leads to
1. formation of the hormone-receptor complex
2. leads to biochemical changes in the target tissue
3. affects target tissue metabolism
