are absorbed by Na+-dependent cotransport in the ileum (which recycles them to the liver). Cholesterol is absorbed from micelles by simple diffusion across the intestinal cell membrane.
95. The answer is E [Chapter 7, III B 3 a (1)]. Somatostatin is secreted by the hypothalamus and inhibits the secretion of growth hormone by the anterior pituitary. Notably, much of the feedback inhibition of growth hormone secretion occurs by stimulating the secretion of somatostatin (an inhibitory hormone). Both growth hormone and somatomedins stimulate the secretion of somatostatin by the hypothalamus.
96. The answer is B [Chapter 7, X A]. Aromatase catalyzes the conversion of testosterone to estradiol in the ovarian granulosa cells. Estradiol is required for the development of female secondary sex characteristics.
97. The answer is E [Chapter 3, V; Figure 3.15]. Closure of the aortic and pulmonic valves creates the second heart sound. The closure of these valves corresponds to the end of ventricular ejection and the beginning of ventricular relaxation.
98. The answer is C [Chapter 2, II C 4; Figure 2.5]. Light striking a photoreceptor cell causes the conversion of 11-cis retinal to all-trans retinal; activation of a G protein called transducin; activation of phosphodiesterase, which catalyzes the conversion of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) to 5′-GMP so that cGMP levels decrease; closure of Na+ channels by the decreased cGMP levels; hyperpolarization of the photoreceptor; and decreased release of glutamate, an excitatory neurotransmitter.
99. The answer is D [Chapter 7, IV A 4]. The coupling of two molecules of diiodotyrosine (DIT) results in the formation of thyroxine (T4). The coupling of DIT to monoiodotyrosine (MIT) produces triiodothyronine (T3).
