STAAR EOC PRACTICE QUESTIONS
1. A dog’s pituitary gland produces the hormone ACTH, which stimulates the adrenal gland stop
secrete cortisol. Cortisol helps regulate body weight, mineral balance, the structure of connective
tissue, the production of white blood cells, and skin health. When cortisol levels are low, the
pituitary gland secretes ACTH. When cortisol levels are high, the pituitary gland stops secreting
ACTH. Based on this information, which of the following would most likely be the cause of
elevated levels of cortisol in a dog?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Undersized adrenal glands
An excess of ACTH
An inactive pituitary gland
An immune response to the excess level of cortisol
