Expert Solution

Hormone	endocrine gland	cause of hormone release	Effects
Growth hormone	anterior pituitary gland	a peptide hormone called ghrelin binds to the receptors on somatotrophs and it stimulates secretion of growth hormone	control metabolism and growth
TSH	anterior pituitary gland	stimulated by thyrotrpin releasing hormone	metabolism of almost every tissue in the body
prolactin	pituitary gland ( anterior)	ovulation, mating and eating	milk production
LH	anterior pituitary gland	when gonadotropin releasing hormone stimulate the pituitary gland	manufacturing and secretion of estrogen
ACTH	anterior pituitary gland	response to corticotropin releasing hormone	production of glucocorticoids
FSH	pituitary gland	when gonadotropin releasing hormone stimulate pituitary gland	increase the production of oestradiol and inhibin
ADH	hypothalamus and posterior pituitary	when osmo receptors sense osmolarity they stimulate and produce ADH	stimulate water absorption
Oxytocin	hypothalamus	electrical activity of neurones in the hypothalamus	uterine contraction
Epinephrine	adrenal gland	fear and anger	increase heart rate
Aldosterone	adrenal gland	low level of sodium	sodium and water retention
Cortisole	adrenal gland	stress	control blood sugar level
Gonado corticoids	adrenal cortex	enzymatic conversations	Conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone
Glucagon	pancreas	low blood glucose	regulate the level of glucose
Insulin	pancreas	high blood glucose	regulate the level of glucose
Melatonin	pineal gland	absence of light	sleep - wake cycle regulation
Calcitonin	thyroid gland	When calcium in the blood increase	decrease level of calcium
Renin	adrenal gland	blood pressure variation	increase in blod pressure
Erythropoietin	kidney	hypoxemia	control RBC production and provide oxygen

Which of the following best describes the neuroendocrine-to-endocrine pathway of hormone action? a. A neuron secretes a chemical messenger that travels to a distant gland that subsequently produces a second chemical messenger that travels to a different destination in the body. b. A neuron that produces hormones releases its hormones directly into another gland that it regulates. c. A gland releases hormones directly into a neural structure, thus regulating neural functions. d. A gland exhibits negative feedback on the nervous...

Renal physiology (select the CORRECT statement) The heart is an endocrine organ that can release hormones into the blood that influence the physiology of the kidneys. Cells of the macula densa communicate with granular cells through the release of diffusible autocrine factors. As part of the fight or flight response, norepinephrine released from sympathetic neurons acts on beta adrenergic receptors to cause vasoconstriction of the afferent arteriole. Norepinephrine released from sympathetic neurons binds to a cytoplasmic receptor in granular cells...

88.) Why is the pancreas both an endocrine and an exocrine gland? It secretes insulin through the pancreatic duct and bile into the blood. It secretes CCK through the pancreatic duct and insulin into the blood. It secretes insulin through the pancreatic duct and CCK into the blood. It secretes pancreatic juice through the pancreatic duct and insulin into the blood. It secretes bile through the pancreatic duct and insulin into the blood. 89.) Which of the following is not...

Andre the Giant had a somatotropinoma, which is a tumor that secretes too much hormone on it’s own (without the need of outside stimulation). Where would this tumor be located and what hormone is being secreted from this tumor (2 pts)? What hormone normally stimulates somatotroph cells (1 pts)? What happens next in this pathway (continue explaining the pathway as if there wasn’t a tumor) (5 pts)? What negative feedback should be affecting the somatotropinoma (3 pts), and why might...
