question 36
blood sugar decreases when which hormone is released?
insulin
glucagon
human growth hormone (hgh)
cortisol

question 37
the heart, muscles of the airways and the liver all have target cells for which of the following?
aldosterone
antidiuretic hormone
epinephrine
angiotensin ii

Explanation:

• For Question 36: Insulin is a hormone that promotes the uptake of glucose by cells, thus reducing blood - sugar levels. Glucagon raises blood sugar, hGH has effects on growth and can increase blood sugar in some cases, and cortisol is a stress - related hormone that can raise blood sugar.
• For Question 37: Epinephrine (adrenaline) has target cells in the heart (increases heart rate), airways (causes bronchodilation), and liver (stimulates glycogenolysis). Aldosterone mainly acts on the kidneys, antidiuretic hormone acts on the kidneys to regulate water reabsorption, and angiotensin II mainly acts on blood vessels and the kidneys.

Answer:

• Question 36: insulin
• Question 37: epinephrine
