What is the function of the posterior pituitary gland?
The posterior pituitary is made up of axons belonging to cells called neurosecretory cells, whose cell bodies are in the hypothalamus. When these cell bodies are stimulated, the axons in the posterior pituitary releases their hormones into the blood stream. In a way, the posterior pituitary is an extension of the hypothalamus.
What is the gland that is responsible for producing a hormone that increases the level of calcium ions in the blood called?
pituitary glands
Simple sugar added to semen by the?
When it is stimulated by an hormone called ADH.--------------------------------------------------------------Simple sugars are added to semen by the seminal vesicular. Not too sure if ADH has something to do with it.ADH (antidiuretic hormone): Made in the hypothalamus and released from the posterior pituitary; released when blood becomes too concentrated.
Which hormone is released when your blood sugar rises?
Insulin is released, when your blood sugar rises. Insulin is secreted by the beta cells from hormone producing cells of the pancreas gland. Insulin lowers down the blood sugar level.
What gland has functions in the parathyroid hormone to regulate calcium levels in the blood and tissues?
The parathyroid glands produce and secrete parathyroid hormone which regulates calcium levels in the blood. Since it increases blood calcium levels, it promotes the function of osteoclasts, which reduce the calcium in bones and promote its increase in the blood stream.
What is the HPTA function?
HPTA is Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Testes-Axis this is the endocrine primary androgen and testosterone making area for males, simply put the pituitary gland (anterior) releases to gonadal hormones LH (Luteinizing Hormone) and (FSH) Follicle Stimulating Hormone) these two are released into the blood stream and when they reach the testicles the tell the Leydig cells in the testicles to produce Testosterone.
What is the function of the posterior pituitary gland?
The posterior pituitary is made up of axons belonging to cells called neurosecretory cells, whose cell bodies are in the hypothalamus. When these cell bodies are stimulated, the axons in the posterior pituitary releases their hormones into the blood stream. In a way, the posterior pituitary is an extension of the hypothalamus.
What hormone removes glucose from the blood and stores it in the liver?
GlucagonINSULIN causes glucose to be removed from the blood stream by having it stored in the form of Glycogen in muscle and liver cellsGLUCAGON causes glycogen to be broken down from liver and muscle tissue and releases glucose into the blood stream, thus increasing circulating blood glucose levels. The hormone, released by the pancreas, is insulin.
How are hormones levels regulated?
Hormone levels are controlled by the pituitary glands. Depends on the hormone. Blood sugar is decreased by the pancreas releasing insulin.
What is the gland that is responsible for producing a hormone that increases the level of calcium ions in the blood called?
pituitary glands
Does the ovary secrete FSH?
No, the pituitary Gland produces FSH, which is then carried to the Ovaries in your blood stream
What hormones are produce by the hypothalamus?
It contains several types of neurons responsible for secreting different hormones: Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), Somatostatin and DopamineAll of these are released into the blood in the capillaries and travel immediately ' in portal veins' to a second capillary bed in the anterior lobe of the pituitary, where they exert their effects.Two other hypothalamic hormones: vasopressin and oxytocin travel in the neurons themselves to the posterior lobe of the pituitary where they are released into the circulation.
What hormones are secreted by the hypothalamus?
There are 7 different hormones released from the hypothalamus. They all are regulatory hormones that act on the anterior pituitary with the exception of prolactin inhibitory hormone. Most of them have a positive influence on the anterior pituitary, but there is also a negative influence on the growth hormone release.The 7 different hormones released are:GHRH (Growth hormone releasing hormone) - counteracted by another hormone released from the hypothalamus called Somatostatin, which blocks hormone release. (+)Growth hormone release inhibitory hormone - Somatostatin (-)CRH (Corticotropin releasing hormone) - acts on the adrenal glands to stimulate corticoid metabolism (+)TRH (Thyrotropin releasing hormone) - act on target cells within the pituitary gland (+)Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) - acts on target cells within the anterior pituitary to stimulate thyroid hormone production. (+)Prolactin inhibitory hormone - Dopamine(-)PRH (Prolactin releasing hormone) (+)

How is anti diuretic hormone secretion regulated?
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is regulated by the pituitary gland. The anitidiuretic hormone maintains blood pressure and controls incoming water through the kidneys
What is Relation of calcium in blood with TSH?
TSH or Thyroid Stimulating Hormone,which is released from the pituitarygland in the brain, stimulates the C cells in the thyroid gland to produce calcium. If too much calcium is in the blood there is possibly an oversecretion of TSH from the pituitary gland.
How does aldosterone get to the kidneys?
Aldosterone is a hormone, so it gets to the kidneys via the blood stream.
