What are three endocrine organs whose activity is stimulated by pituitary hormones?
Thyroid gland: Stimulated by thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) from the pituitary, it releases thyroid hormones that regulate metabolism. Adrenal glands: Stimulated by adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) from the pituitary, they secrete cortisol that helps in stress response. Ovaries or testes: Stimulated by luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the pituitary, they regulate reproductive functions and hormone production.
System of glands that regulate metabolism?
These are endocrine glands like adrenal, thyroid and pancreas.
What are the main functions of pituitary glands?

The secretion of sweat is stimulated by what?
That is a good question! Sweat glands get the nerve supply from the sympathetic trunk. So anatomically they get sympathetic nerve supply. But the neurotransmitter at the target cells is acetylcholine. So functionally or physiologically, the sweat glands get the parasympathetic nerve supply.
What is the major glucocorticoid produced in the adrenal glands?
The major glucocorticoid produced in the adrenal glands is cortisol. It plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism, immune response, and stress response. Cortisol helps increase blood sugar levels, suppress inflammation, and assists in the body's response to stress. Its production is stimulated by adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) from the pituitary gland.
Do frogs have adrenal glands?

How many glands are found in the abdominal cavity?
There are several glands located in the abdominal cavity, including the liver, pancreas, and adrenal glands. These glands play important roles in digestion, metabolism, and hormone regulation.
What gland is essential in the metabolism of carboydrates and reduces blood sugar?
