Your brain must do some work (effortful processing) to encode information and move it into short-term, and ultimately long-term memory. This has strong implications for a student, as it can impact their learning - if one doesn't work to encode and store information, it will likely be forgotten. Research indicates that people forget 80 percent of what they learn only a day later.

The hypothalamus secretes eight hormones, six to regulate the anterior pituitary and two that are stored in the posterior pituitary. True or False True False

Behaviorism focuses on making psychology an objective science by studying the genetic basis for behavior and theorizing how instincts influence behavior studying implicit motivations for behavior through the use of implicit association tests studying overt behavior and deemphasizing the importance of unobservable mental processes studying how emotional responses influence behavior while deemphasizing the importance of the subconscious

B cell-receptors differ from T cell-receptors in that Multiple Choice B cell-receptors are immunoglobulins similar to those that are secreted, whereas T cell-receptors are not immunoglobulins and are never secreted B cell-receptors are comprised of four polypeptides, whereas T cell-receptors are made up of two polypeptides All of the choices reflect differences between B cell- and T cell-receptors. T cell-receptors are much smaller than B cell-receptors

Check all that are ways in which the secretion of thyroid hormone is regulated. Check All That Apply Thyroid hormone secretion is regulated by a positive feedback loop. Thyroid hormone secretion is regulated using a negative feedback loop. Low body temperature would cause the hypothalamus to secrete thyrotropin- releasing hormone (TRH). The anterior pituitary synthesizes and releases TSH. Increased levels of TSH cause the thyroid gland to secrete thyroid hormone. As the basal body temperature rises, it causes a chain reaction, leading to an

Check all that are ways in which PTH affects target organs. Check All That Apply PTH stimulates osteoclasts to resorb bone and release calcium ions into the bloodstream. PTH encourages the excretion of calcium ions into the filtrate that becomes urine in the kidneys. PTH stimulates calcitriol synthesis to promote calcium absorption in the small intestine. PTH stimulates osteoblasts to create new bone matrix using excess calcium in the blood.

Check all of the ways that the endocrine system changes as a result of aging. Check All That Apply The secretion of GH increases. The secretion of sex hormones decreases. Testosterone levels increase. Estrogen levels decrease.

Check all of the hormones that are secreted by the gonads. Check All That Apply Oxytocin FSH Estrogen Progesterone Testosterone
