a. true
b. false

The answer to the question: Steroid hormones are usually released in large quantities into the blood, would be, B: False.

Explanation:

Essentially, hormonal activity has one purpose, to stimulate and excite the activities of target cells. Steroid hormones produced by the gonads and also the adrenal glands, also have this purpose, to induce target cells to perform a specific function. Because their purpose is excitatory, large amounts of them released into the blood could cause serious stress to the body, and in any case, the body itself has regulatory systems that, once a certain exitatory threshold has been reached, regardless of the amount of new hormones arriving at a cell, this one will not respond, because there will be no further receptors for it. Steroid hormones, thus, are released in small amounts usually, in order to maintain the target cells functioning as they should. Large amounts will NOT be USUALLY released into the bloodstream, unless there is a situation that merits this burst in them. But normally, steroid hormones are not released in large quantities into the bloodstream.
