#glucocorticoids MCQ

3 public questions tagged with this topic.

Endocrinology

Which is NOT an action of glucocorticoids?

The correct answer is D: Decreased blood glucose. In Endocrinology, this idea is central because it matches how the body actually works in everyday teaching examples. Put simply, the stem is asking for the statement that does not fit the usual rule, and Decreased blood glucose is that exception in the context of Endocrinology. That is why Decreased blood glucose is the option that holds up when you check it against basic physiology. When you revise, say the answer out loud with one short reason attached; that sticks better than rote lists. Remember that physiology questions reward precise language: name the process, the location, and the outcome, then match that to the option text.

Endocrinology

Cortisol constitutes approximately what percentage of total glucocorticoid activity?

Answer: D) 95%. For Endocrinology, once you lock onto the key mechanism or definition, 95% is the clear fit. If you restate the concept in your own words, 95% is the option that correctly names the structure, process, or principle asked for in Endocrinology. So 95% is the clean, accurate selection. If a similar stem appears later, start from the same core fact and you will land on the same kind of answer. In class notes, highlight this same phrase next to the related diagram so the wording and the picture reinforce each other. When you practise, cover the choices first, write 95% from memory, then reveal the letter — that habit builds real recall for Endocrinology.

Endocrinology

Glucocorticoids are secreted mainly in response to:

Pick B: ACTH. Thinking about Endocrinology in a practical way — what the structure does, or what the process achieves — leads you here. Clinically and academically, the same logic shows up again and again: the functional job described in the stem is exactly what ACTH does in Endocrinology. Hence ACTH is correct. Treat this as a building block for the rest of Endocrinology; neighbouring topics often reuse the same principle. Keep a one-line summary card for this idea and revisit it before the paper; short, repeated review beats long cramming sessions. If the wording feels dense, translate it into everyday language first, then map that plain sentence back onto ACTH.
