You have the various releasing factors, that come from the hypothalamus. The low level of the hormones from the target organ like thyroid may stimulate thyroid stimulating hormone from the pituitary.

What is hyposecretion of pituitary gland?

hyposecretion is when not enough (hypo=low) of a certain substance (usually a hormone) is being secreted(released) into the bloodstream etc. For example, a hyposecretion of growth hormone would result in that individual in having pituitary-dwarfism.


If the biological effectiveness of a hormone were reduced because its target cells lacked the appropriate receptors would hormone concentration be high low or normal?

Probably high.  Most hormones in the body operate by a negative feedback mechanism, so if there is no effector response, more and more hormone will be produced to try to generate an effector response.   For example, if you are low on fluids from sweating a lot, then your pituitary gland will secrete ADH to tell your kidneys to recover more water.  When your body thinks that you have enough fluids, the pituitary will stop secreting ADH.  If your kidneys weren't responding to ADH, then your fluid level will remain low (and will probably continue falling from urinating and sweating), and your pituitary will release tons of ADH in a futile effort to make your kidneys recover water (but they won't because they're not ADH-responsive for whatever reason).

What is the response of the pituitary gland in a person who is deficient in iodine?

The pituitary gland will release more thyroid stimulating hormone if iodine is lacking in the diet. The thyroid gland will enlarge in an effort to respond to the TSH. The enlargement (goiter) can be large enough to cause problems for the person with the low iodine. One of the reasons that table salt has iodine in it is due to number of goiters that were see. Afterwards, the numbers dropped.
