What is the purpose of an aldosterone assay?
Aldosterone measurement is useful in detecting a condition called aldosteronism, which is caused by excess secretion of the hormone from the adrenal glands. There are two types of aldosteronism: primary and secondary.
Is acth secretion regulated by a hypothalamic secretion?
ACTH secretion or release is elicited by hypothalmic CRH (Corticotropin-releasing hormone.)
What are the functions of prolactin hormones?
In females, prolactin tell the breasts to start producing milk (but it is another hormone, oxytocin, that actually causes the milk to be excreted). In both sexes, prolactin also inhibits LH and FSH release, which inhibit estrogen/progesterone secretion and ovulation in females, and testosterone secretion and sperm production in males. Overproduction of prolactin (like from a tumor or a dopamine antagonist) can cause infertility and decreased sex drive in both sexes.
Glandular secretion associated with?
The glandular secretion is associated with pocrine, holocrine, and merocrine.
What effects would the sympathetic and parasympathetic system have on insulin secretion?
Studies seems to indicate that the sympathetic system decreases insulin secretion, while the parasympathetic system increases insulin secretion.
What inhibits secretion of LH and FSH?
Progesterone
What hormones are realeased from the ovaries?
The ovaries produce a couple of gonadal hormones. One of these, estrogen, promotes the secondary sex characteristics and sex drive. Another is progesterone which prepares the uterus for pregnancy. Another hormone called in inhibin inhibits the secretion of follicle stimulating hormone.
What does LH hormone do?
It's a protein that regulates secretion of progesterone in women and controls the maturation of Graafian follicles, ovulation and initiation of the corpus luteum. In men it stimulates the Leydig cells to produce testosterone which is the hormone responsible for the appearance of secondary sexual characteristics of male and the sexual appetite.
What processes in the monthly reproductive cycle of the female occurs simultaneously?
a.maximal LH secretion and menstruation b.maximal steroid secretion by the corpus luteum and menstruation c.early follicular development and the secretory phase in the uterus d.degeneration of the corpus luteum and a decrease in ovarian progesterone secretion

Exert negative feedback on the anterior pituitary relative to fsh secretion?
Estrogen and progesterone.
What are the secondary sex characteristics that are caused by estrogen?
There are many secondary sexual characteristics caused by testosterone, including growth of facial, chest, and armpit hair. Enlargement of the voice box leading to an Adam's apple and a deeper voice. Broadening of the shoulders. Increased secretion of the sweat, and oil glands. Increased muscle mass.
Is secondary hyperparathyroidism caused by excessive parathyroid secretion?
False
Is there still secretion on the day of ovulation if you get pregnant?
