Question

Endocrine feedback control loop can be interrupted by lack of the ...............or lack of its target cell receptors.

Answer 1

* It can interrupt by the lack of hormone ( pituitary gland) .

The endocrine system is a tightly regulated system that keeps the hormones and their effects at just the right level.

This is achieved is through ‘feedback loops’. The release of hormones is regulated by other hormones, proteins or neuronal signals.

The released hormone then has its effect on other organs. This effect on the organ feeds back to the original signal to control any further hormone release.

The pituitary gland is well known for its feedback loops.

Hormones control many cell activities. so they are very important for homeostasis.

Hormones are regulated by feedback mechanisms. A feedback mechanism is a loop in which a product feeds back to control its own production.

Some hormone feedback mechanisms involve negative feedback loops. Negative feedback keeps the concentration of a hormone within a narrow range.

Endocrine glands make chemicals called hormones and pass them straight into the bloodstream.

From the blood stream, the hormones communicate with the body by heading towards their target cell to bring about a particular change or effect to that cell.

The hormone can also create changes in the cells of surrounding tissues. The endocrine system works with the nervous system and the immune system to help the body cope with different events and stresses.
