II. READING COMPREHENSION
Read the text and choose the correct answer for each question.
Hormones are substances that are secreted (or released) by cells that act to regulate the activity
of other cells in the body. As a result, many activities in the human body are regulated by
hormones. For example, reacting to fear, developing male or female characteristics, and growing
taller are all regulated by hormones. Hormones are important to keep your body functioning.
There are four major functions identified( xác định) with hormones. Hormones regulate
growth, development, behavior, and reproduction. Hormones coordinate ( điều phối) the
production( sản lượng) , use and storage of energy. Hormones are involved in maintaining nutrition,
ENGLISH IN MED 4
metabolism, excretion, and water and salt balance. And finally, hormones react to stimuli( tác nhân
kích thích) from outside the body.
Hormones act as chemical messengers that carry instructions ( sự chỉ dẫn) to other cells to
change their activity. The heart beats faster as hormones carry instructions to the cells of the heart
telling it to increase the heartbeat. It was once believed that hormones had to travel through the
bloodstream, but scientists know today that that is not true. Some hormones act directly on
adjacent( liền kề) cells without traveling through the blood.
The message that a hormone carries is determined( xác định) by both the hormone itself and the
cell it is carrying the message to. A hormone can instruct a cell to produce an enzyme or a specific
protein. Simply put, hormones can instruct a muscle cell to relax and a nerve cell to fire ( kích
thích).
Each hormone is specific to the cell it is traveling to. Each hormone acts like a key that opens a
lock on or inside the cell. A hormone can only act on cells with the right lock.
Endocrine glands are important organs in the human body that hormones are secreted from. All
of the endocrine glands together make up the endocrine system. The endocrine system coordinates
( điều phối) the body's entire source of hormones.
Hormones are normally a slower-acting and longer-lived messenger whereas( trong khi) the
neurotransmitters( chất dẫn truyền thần kinh) are usually fast-acting and short-lived. The effect of a
hormone can last for days, weeks, or even years.
After a hormone is released from the cell in which it is made, they bind and act on target cells.
A target cell is a specific cell a hormone binds to and carries the message. If the hormone was not
specific, all the cells in the body would react to a hormone resulting in uncoordinated activities.
Finally, there are two main hormone classifications( phân loại). They are either amino-acid-
based hormones or they are steroid-based hormones. Amino-acid-based hormones are water
soluble and made up of amino acids. Steroid-based hormones are lipid hormones made from
cholesterol and are fat soluble.
11. Which of the following is NOT regulated by hormones?
A. Growth B. Development C. Behavior D. Hearing
12. Hormones coordinate the production, use, and storage of which of the following?
A. Energy B. Emotions C. Force D. Balance
13. What do hormones carry to other cells that change their activity?
A. Protectors B. Neurons C. Instructions D. Proteins
14. Which of the following times the time of the effects of hormone?
A. Seconds, minutes or even an hour B. Minutes, hours, or even a day
C. Hours, days or even a week D. Days, weeks or even a year
15. Amino-acid-based hormones are which of the following?
A. Fat soluble B. Water soluble C. Tissue soluble D. Bone soluble
