The hypothalamus secretes releasing hormones that stimulate the release of hormones by the anterior pituitary. These hypothalamic releasing hormones include: * Thyrotropin-releasing hormone * Corticotropin-releasing hormone * Gonadotropin-releasing hormone * Growth hormone-releasing hormone

What hormones do pituitary gland produce?
it secretes about 5 different hormones Growth hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, Thyroid stimulating hormone, Beta endorphine, and melanocyte stimulating hormones PS THE SPELLING MIGHT NOT BE' 100% right
What causes the hormones to be released in the body?
there are so many forms of hormones in the body, but ultimately the brain sends a signal for each one to be released. For puberty, the pituitary gland in the brain is the one that decides to release androgens or estrogens to start puberty
What after receiving a signal from the nervous system it releases hormones like insulin?
the pancreas secretes insulin
How does the endocrine system and the nervous system maintain human health?
The nervous system has many different mechanisms that it uses to maintain homeostasis in terms of modulating incoming signals and the processing of those signals. Interconnecting neurons can upmodulate or downmodulate a signal through the release of various neurotransmitters that are excitatory (increase signal intensity) or inhibitory (decrease signal intensity). In addition to this, more long-term mechanisms are those of upregulation and downregulation. This involves many different chemical factors that cause the neuron to increase receptor density or function (making the nerve more sensitive to a signal) or decrease receptor density or function (making the nerve less sensitive to a signal). The brain interacts with and controls the endocrine system through the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland in the brain. The endocrine system has many different "master" hormones and secondary hormones that control functions throughout the body. There are growth hormones that are turned on and off, sex hormones that regulate growth and reproductive function, and various other hormones that control bone density, water and salt balance, renal function, liver function, etc.. Just like the nervous system, these are controlled by a feedback loop that tells the system whether a surplus or deficiency of a given signal or activity level is found in each system.
Which of these is the goal of a negative feedback loop to A enhance a stimulus' action B release hormones C signal receptors to receive sensory info D return a substance to a normal level?
to return a substance to a normal level

What is testosterone produce by?
The pituitary secretes luteinizing hormone (LH) in short bursts to signal the production and release of testosterone.
What is the role of the hypothalamus in the production of thyroxine and TSH?
The hypothalamus produces TSH Releasing Hormone (TRH) that signals the pituitary to tell the thyroid gland to produce more or less of T3 and T4 by either increasing or decreasing the release of a hormone called thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH).

How do hormones signal?
easy it can cause erosion :)
Hormones communicate through what type of signal?
3g
What gland in the brain gives the signal to the ovaries to start releasing some of its eggs?
pituitary gland
How does endocrine system helps homeostasis?
This is the main way we maintain homeostasis actually, since the endocrine system releases chemicals known as hormones. These hormones are sent via the blood to specific spots in the body to control things like blood sugar, heart rate, etc.The Endocrine system is responsible for homeostasis. The Endocrine system secrete hormones that the body needs to perform certain functions.
Why Some hormones control the release of other hormones?
Hormones are like bullies that steal your lunch money... When the hormones want to be released from glands, they signal other hormones (like on a cell phone) to tell them to be released, and if they dont do what they say, then the "bully" hormone will beat the other hormone up when they get secreted from a certain gland.

What recognizes signal molecules such as growth factors and hormones?
receptors
Can non-steroid hormones enter the nucleus?
No, non-steroid hormones use secondary messengers to transfer their signal into the cell.
What is the pituitary hormone controls ovulation?
luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary glandgonadotropinreleasing hormone (GnRH) is firs produced in the brain by the hypothalamus.The pituitary gland is then triggered by this to release the follicle stimulating hormone (FSH).The FSH is transported to the ovaries, via the bloodstream where it starts the growth of a follicle.Upon the development of the follicle estrogen starts being produced.After approximately 10 days, the estrogen levels become high.Estrogens peak about a day before ovulation. This would be day 13 in a normal 28 day cycle.This peak bring about a surge of luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland.This surge acts a cue for the ovarian follicle to release a mature ovum into the fallopian tube leaving behind corpus luteum or the empty follicle.The cells of the corpus luteum produce progesterone and estrogenThe uterine lining is stimulated to thicken with blood by these two hormones to prepare them for the nurturing of the fertilised egg.The corpus luteum starts to diminish and leaves uterine lining with no hormonal support.The lining starts to shed offfemales monthly menstrual cycle starts again.Low levels of estrogen and progesterone also signal the hypothalamus to start the process over again.
