What is TRH's role in the endocrine system?
it stimulates the thyroid to produce the thyroid hormone which regulates metabolic rate
Which hormone does hypothalamus gland secrete?
Hypothalamus secrete several hormones.They are TRH,CRH,GnRH,PRH,GHIH,PIH.
How feedback control regulates the rate of metabolism?
Feedback control regulates the rate of metabolism through various mechanisms. One of the key ways is through negative feedback loops involving hormones and enzymes. For example, when the level of a particular hormone or metabolite in the body increases, it signals the body to decrease the production or activity of enzymes involved in metabolism. This helps to maintain homeostasis and prevent excessive metabolic activity. Additionally, feedback control also plays a role in regulating energy balance, nutrient uptake, and waste elimination to maintain optimal metabolic rate.
What is processing control system?
A furnace by definition provides heat. There must be something that controls that heat; that is that tells the furnace when to fire up the burners and when to shut down the burners. This function is provided by the furnace control system. Usually the control system itself is controlled by a thermostat which maintains the temperature at a preset level on the thermostat.
Does the hypothalamus produce oxytocin and ADH?
Yes, it produces hormones. for example FSH and LH- in a female bodyCheck out this website for more information:http://www.becomehealthynow.com/article/bodyendocrine/733/Hope this helps! :D
What is TRH's role in the endocrine system?

What does TSH stimulate?
Like other hormones of the anterior pituitary (adenohypophysis), TSH is stimulated by a releasing hormone produced in the hypothalamus. This releasing hormone, TRH (thyrotropin releasing hormone) travels down the pituitary stalk and stimulates the thyrotrope cells there, via the portal circulation of the pituitary.
How does TRH travel from hypothalamus to the pituitary gland?
by the Hypothalamic-pituitary portal system
How does the body know when to produce more thyroxine?
There is a part of the brain called the hypothalamus which is next to the pituitary. When you have not enough Thyroxine (T4) your hypothalamus makes TRH which tells the pituitary to make Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). TSH as in the name stimulates the thyroid gland in the neck to make more Thyroxine.
How does the TRH travel from the hypothalamus to the pituaitary gland?
The hypothalamus sends releasing hormones to the pituitary gland down through a salk of tissue called the infundibulum. It tells it which hormones to make and when to make them.
Why can't you live without a hypothalamus?
It regulates metabolism. Plus it releasing hormones like TRH, which is needed for the thyroid to function
What two hormones from the hypothalamus stimulate the release of hormones from the anterior pituitary?
growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH)
Which hormone does hypothalamus gland secrete?
Hypothalamus secrete several hormones.They are TRH,CRH,GnRH,PRH,GHIH,PIH.
What releases TSH?
TSH is inhibited by feedback inhibition exerted by the thyroid hormones on the anterior pituitary and hypothalamus and by GHIH.
What are Thyroid Stimulating Hormones?
Thyroid stimulating Harmones amino acids derivatives, these harmones control and regulate the body metabolism. 60-70% thermogenesis of the body is done by thyroid harmones. jahangir.ajiz@yahoo.com
How does the hypothalamus send TRH to the pituitary gland?
The hypothalamus sends the TRH hormone via some capillaries. Now, these are very special capillaries, yes they connect to the circulation, as capillaries do. However, these capillaries are different in that they act as a portal. In fact, they have a name for them too, called the hypothalamo-pituitary portal vessels. Basically how they work is, blood coming from the heart first integrates into the hypothalamus, and upon the exocytosis type of release from the nuclei within the hypothalamus that contain the hormones (talking about in this way the nuclui that produce the homones release those hormones directly into capillaries via a similar manner as how neurotransmitters are released into a synapse). Once the hormones are released into the capillaries of the hypothalamus-pituitary vessels, they travel down and into the anterior pituitary. Where they are actively transported into the cells of the anterior pituitary (notice nothing about the posterior pituitary, because that functions in a different manner).
What hormone does tsh release?
TRH
