question="What are the final physiological effects of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) on the kidney?"
choice2="Sodium, chloride and water reabsorption and potassium excretion."
choice1="Sodium, chloride and potassium reabsorption and water excretion."
choice4="Sodium, chloride, potassium and water reabsorption."
choice5="Sodium, chloride and water excretion and potassium reabsorption."
choice3="Sodium, chloride, potassium and water excretion."
correctchoice="2"
feedback2="'''Correct!''' Renin increases aldosterone secretion from the zona glomerulosa. Aldosterone acts to increase the reabsorption of sodium by cells in the collecting ducts of the kidney. Sodium ions are exchanged for hydrogen and potassium ions, leading to decreased sodium and increased potassium excretion.

questionnumber="5"
question="Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) secretion is stimulated / inhibited by which two hypothalamic hormones respectively?"
choice5="Thyrotrophin releasing hormone (TRH) / Somatostatin"
choice4="Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) / Growth Hormone"
choice3="Thyrotrophin releasing hormone (TRH) / Dopamine"
choice1="Adrenocorticotrophic Hormone (ACTH) / Thyrotrophin Releasing Hormone (TRH)"
choice2="Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) / Somatostatin"
correctchoice="5"
feedback5="'''Correct!''' Thyrotrophin releasing hormone (TRH) from the hypothalamus stimulates the release of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) from the anterior pituitary which in turn stimulates the release of thyroid hormone form the thyroid gland. Somatostatin inhibits the release of TSH. [[Thyroid Gland - Anatomy & Physiology#Regulation|WikiVet Article: thyroid gland]]."
feedback4="'''Incorrect.''' Be careful not to confuse thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH) (secreted from the anterior pituitary to target the thyroid gland) with TRH (secreted from the hypothalamus to target the anterior pituitary's thyrotrophic cells).

[[Hypothalamus - Anatomy & Physiology|WikiVet Article: thyroid gland]]."
feedback3="'''Incorrect.''' Thyrotrophin releasing hormone does stimulate the secretion of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), however dopamine does not inhibit TSH secretion. Dopamine inhibits prolactin secretion from the anterior pituitary. The correct stimulatory/inhibitory combination is Thyrotrophin Releasing Hormone / Somatostatin. [[Hypothalamus - Anatomy & Physiology|WikiVet Article: thyroid gland]]."
feedback1="'''Incorrect.''' Adrenocorticotrophic hormone is secreted form the anterior pituitary gland and it stimulates secretion of glucocorticoids from the adrenal cortex, it has no effect on the thyroid gland. Thyrotrophin Releasing Hormone does not inhibit the secretion of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), it stimulates it. The correct stimulatory/inhibitory combination is Thyrotrophin Releasing Hormone / Somatostatin.

choice5="GLUT 5"
choice3="Glucose/Na+ symport"
choice2="Na+/K+ ATPase"
choice1="γ Glutamyl transferase"
choice4="GLUT 4"
correctchoice="5"
feedback5="'''Correct!''' GLUT 5 transporters are responsible for uptake of glucose from intestinal cells into the blood. [[Small Intestine - Anatomy & Physiology#Carbohydrate Digestion and Absorption|WikiVet Article: carbohydrate digestion and absorption]]."
feedback3="'''Incorrect.''' The glucose/Na+ symport is responsible for the uptake of glucose from the intestinal lumen into intestinal cells. GLUT 5 transporters are responsible for uptake of glucose from intestinal cells into the blood. [[Small Intestine - Anatomy & Physiology#Carbohydrate Digestion and Absorption|WikiVet Article: carbohydrate digestion and absorption]]."
feedback2="'''Incorrect.''' The Na+/K+ ATPase is responsible for pumping sodium ions into the blood in order to maintain a low concentration of sodium inside the intestinal cells. This is important as the action of the glucose/Na+ symport depends upon their being a lower concentration of sodium inside the intestinal cells than in the gut lumen. GLUT 5 transporters are responsible for uptake of glucose from intestinal cells into the blood. [[Small Intestine - Anatomy & Physiology#Carbohydrate Digestion and Absorption|WikiVet Article: carbohydrate digestion and absorption]]."
feedback1="'''Incorrect.''' γ Glutamyl transferase spans the enterocyte membrane and combines glutathione from the inside of the cell with a di-,tri- or oligo-peptide from the intestinal lumen forming a γ-glu-aa complex which is transported into the cell. GLUT 5 transporters are responsible for uptake of glucose from intestinal cells into the blood. [[Small Intestine - Anatomy & Physiology#Carbohydrate Digestion and Absorption |WikiVet Article: carbohydrate digestion and absorption]]."
feedback4="'''Incorrect.''' GLUT 4 transporters are used for uptake of glucose into muscle and adipose tissue cells.

choice3="Gluconeogenesis and inhibits glycolysis"
choice2="Glycogenolysis and inhibits glycolysis"
choice1="Glycogenolysis and glycolysis"

feedback5="'''Correct!''' The function of insulin is to reduce blood sugar levels when they rise too high. Therefore glycolysis (glucose breakdown) is stimulated as this process uses glucose to make ATP, NADH and pyruvate. And glycogenesis (glycogen synthesis) is stimulated, as in this pathway glucose is used to make the storage product, glycogen. [[Pancreas - Anatomy & Physiology#Insulin|WikiVet Article: pancreas]]."
feedback4="'''Incorrect.''' The function of insulin is to reduce blood sugar levels when they rise too high. The process of gluconeogenesis (glucose synthesis) would further increase glucose levels and is therefore not stimulated by high blood glucose. Glycolysis (glucose breakdown) is stimulated as this process uses glucose to make ATP, NADH and pyruvate. Glycogenesis (glycogen synthesis) is also stimulated, as in this pathway glucose is used to make the storage product, glycogen. [[Pancreas - Anatomy & Physiology#Insulin|WikiVet Article: pancreas]]."

choice1="Stimulates glycogenesis and inhibits glycolysis"
choice3="Stimulates gluconeogenesis and inhibits glycogenolysis"
choice5="Stimulates glycolysis and and inhibits glycogenesis"
correctchoice="4"
feedback4="'''Correct!''' Glucagon is released in response to low blood sugar levels in order to stimulate processes that will raise blood glucose concentrations. Therefore glucagon stimulates gluconeogenesis which produces glucose from non-carbohydrate sources and also stimulates glycogenolysis, which is the breakdown of stored glycogen to glucose. [[Pancreas - Anatomy & Physiology#Glucagon|WikiVet Article: pancreas]]."
feedback2="'''Incorrect.''' Glucagon is released in response to low blood sugar levels in order to stimulate processes that will raise serum glucose concentrations. Therefore glucagon stimulates gluconeogenesis which produces glucose from non-carbohydrate sources and also stimulates glycogenolysis, which is the breakdown of stored glycogen to glucose. Glycolysis (glucose breakdown) is not stimulated, this would lead to the breakdown of glucose, further reducing blood levels. [[Pancreas - Anatomy & Physiology#Glucagon|WikiVet Article: pancreas]]."

GLUT 5 transporters are responsible for uptake of glucose from intestinal cells into the blood. [[Small Intestine - Anatomy & Physiology#Carbohydrate Digestion and Absorption|WikiVet Article: carbohydrate digestion and absorption]]."
feedback2="'''Incorrect.''' The Na+/K+ ATPase is responsible for pumping sodium ions into the blood in order to maintain a low concentration of sodium inside the intestinal cells. This is important as the action of the glucose/Na+ symport depends upon their being a lower concentration of sodium inside the intestinal cells than in the gut lumen. GLUT 5 transporters are responsible for uptake of glucose from intestinal cells into the blood. [[Small Intestine - Anatomy & Physiology#Carbohydrate Digestion and Absorption|WikiVet Article: carbohydrate digestion and absorption]]."
