Weekly Test #2
PART 1: MULTIPLE CHOICE
DIRECTION: Choose the letter of the correct answer.
1. Which major division of the nervous system serves as the main
processing center for the entire nervous system?
A. Central Nervous System C. Somatic Nervous System
B. Peripheral Nervous System D. Autonomic Nervous System
2. Which of the following group listed below are glands of the
endocrine system?
A. Thymine, insulin and adrenaline
B. Thyroxin, Oxytocin, and glucagon
C. Thymus, adrenal, and ovaries
D. Parathyroid, thyroid and oxytocin
3. How will you explain the sudden boost of energy, increased in
strength and extraordinary ability to lift very heavy objects
during emergency situations?
A. The thyroid gland produces thyroxin
B. The adrenal gland produces adrenaline
C. The pituitary gland releases Follicle Stimulating
Hormone (FSH)
D. The pituitary gland commands the other entire gland to
release extra energy.
4. Which of the following feedback mechanisms maintain
homeostasis in the body?
A. The body is kept in a very low temperature.
B. The blood calcium level is maintained during the day.
C. The amount of hormones in the blood is kept in a high
level.
D. The amount of metabolic waste in cells is maintained in a
normal range.
5. How does the Central Nervous System (CNS) differ from the
Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)?
A. CNS controls the entire nervous system while the PNS
controls the organs and limbs.
B. CNS controls the entire nervous system while the PNS
connects the organs and limbs.
C. PNS controls the entire nervous system while the CNS
connects the organs and limbs.
D. PNS controls the entire nervous system while the CNS
controls the organs and limbs
For questions 21 – 22, refer to the diagram in the right.
6. Where are luteinizing hormone (LH) and Follicular Stimulating
Hormone (FSH) produced?
A. Pituitary Gland C. Adrenal Gland
B. Thyroid Gland D. Pancreas
7. What hormone needs to reach a certain level to signal the
release of the follicle –stimulating hormone?
A. Progesterone C. Androgen
B. Estrogen D. Testosterone
8. Suppose a girl ate too many sweets such as candies and
chocolates. What hormone from her pancreas will help her
body cope with a possible blood sugar level rise above the
normal?
9. When the blood calcium level in the blood is too high, what
kind of hormone will be secreted to achieve homeostasis?
PART 2: MATCHING TYPE
DIRECTION: Match Column A with column B
1.A change in the environment, such as an a. Feedback Mechanism
irritant, loss of blood or presence of a foreign
chemical.
2.The site within the body that detects or b. Effector
receives the stimulus, senses the change from
normal, and sends signals to control center.
3.The operational point, at which the signals are c. Stimulus
received, analyzed, and an appropriate response
is determined. This is sometimes referred to as
the integration center since it integrates the
signals, and other information, to determine if a
response is needed and the nature of a response.
4.The body site where a response is generated d. Control Center
which counters the initial stimulus and thus
attempts to maintain homeostasis.
5.Methods by which the body regulates the degree
of response that has been elicited. A negative e. Receptor
feedback depresses the stimulus to shut off or
reduce the effector response whereas a positive
feedback has the effect of increasing the effector

PART 4: TRUE OR FALSE
DIRECTIONS: Indicate whether each statement is TRUE or
FALSE.
___________25. The body works hard to keep its internal
environment as constant as possible.
___________26. Not all organs and systems of the body work
together to create this stable condition.
___________27. The process of maintaining a constant cell
environment in the body is called cell membrane.
___________28. The endocrine and nervous systems as our
coordinating systems, play a very important part in regulating
homeostasis.
___________29. Positive feedback mechanism is more common
in the body than negative feedback mechanism
___________30. Motor neurons sends the signal from the senses to
the central nervous system
