Anatomy and Physiology II (ANAT 202) Endocrine System Exam Review: Hormones, Feedback Loops, and Diabetes
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Anatomy and Physiology II (ANAT 202) | Exam Review

Overview
A focused endocrine review for major glands, hormone classes, negative feedback, blood glucose regulation, thyroid balance, stress response, and diabetes exam prompts.

Key topics
•pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, pancreas, and gonads
•peptide vs steroid hormones and receptor location
•negative feedback loops and set points
•insulin, glucagon, blood glucose, and diabetes
•thyroid hormone, cortisol, and homeostasis

Suggested study tasks
•draw 6 hormone feedback loops
•match 20 glands to hormones and target effects
•compare type 1 and type 2 diabetes in a table
•explain steroid vs peptide signaling in short answers
•build a rapid endocrine lab value checklist

Common pitfalls
•memorizing hormones without target tissues
•mixing endocrine and exocrine pancreas roles
•forgetting negative feedback direction
•calling every hormone water soluble
•confusing diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus
