Is aldosterone released from pituitary gland?
Yes,it is released from posterior pitutory.It is produced in hypothalamus.
How does hypothalamus warm up your body?
Hypothalamus plays the main role in homeostasis. Homeostasis is the regulation of the activities and reactions that take place in the human body. Hence, it is true to say that hypothalamus is responsible for maintaining the temperature in the body. This is done by dilating the blood capillaries when the temperature in the body exceeds the optimum temperature. By dilating the capillaries, heat can be released out to the surroundings more easily. In A+LS False
What chemical substances are released by macrophages and white blood cells that cause an upward resetting of the bodys thermostat?
cytokines
What is the stimulus that causes growth hormone to be released?
The hypothalamus, brain centers, and feedback from target organs.
What does hypothalamus have to do with urine?
Yes, a lack of vasopressin (ADH) can cause excessive urination, a condition called diabetes insipidus. Vasopressin is released by the posterior pituitary, but is actually produced in the hypothalamus and transported to the posterior pituitary through axons. Thus, an inability of the hypothalamus to produce vasopressin would cause excessive urination.
What is the definition of the word cytokine?
A cytokine is a regulatory protein released by a cell in the immune system. Cytokines act as intercellular mediators when the body is generating an immune response.
Is aldosterone released from pituitary gland?
Yes,it is released from posterior pitutory.It is produced in hypothalamus.
What are released by to cells to protect other cells by interfering with the ability to the virus to reproduce as it moves from cell to cell?
Interferons (IFNs), which are a type of cytokine.
A hormone that is released into the bloodstream in response to physical or mental stress?
a hormone known as KAP is released by hypothalamus when insane

Which hormone is secreted by the hypothalamus and stored in and released by the pituitary gland?
antidiuretic hormone (ADH)

What is a protein released by macrophages and activated T cells that helps to protect other body cells from viral multiplication?
Interferons
Adh is produced where?
ADH is produced by the hypothalamus in the brain. It is then transported to the nearby pituitary gland and is then released for use in the body.
What is the site of regulation of water balance and body temperature?
Changes in body temp are recognised by the hypothalamus in the brain. An increase in body temp leads to vasodilation of blood vessels and thus more heat radiated from the skin. Also stimulates the production of sweat and thus heat loss by evaporation. A decrease in temp results in vasoconstiction of blood vessels and thus heat retention. Water balance is also recognised by the hypothamus but is controlled by the kidneys. ADH is released from the pituritary gland which increases water reabsorption in the kindeys whilst Aldolsterone is released from the adrenal cortex (gland located above kidney) which increases the absorption of Na+ ions which causes water to follow passively by osmosis.
