Are neurons in the endocrine system?
Yes they are the secreations of endocrine glands
Is the endocrine system made up of organs called neurons?
No, it is not.
What two organ most directly regulates the body system?
Negative feedback mechanism is used by two body systems: the nervous system and the endocrine system. The nervous system is the quick one and uses an intricate circuitry of neurons and your brain to respond to changes. The endocrine system is the slow one and is made up of endocrine glands that secrete hormones to counter changes.
What system does the hypothalamus belong in?
Because it is in the brain, contains neurons(soma) in nuclei (regions or clumps of neuron soma), receives synaptic inputs from the brainstem (itself a part of the nervous system), and projects neural outputs to other parts of the brain .It should be noted though, that the hypothalamus also has an endocrine function in addition to its nervous system function, in that it controls the anterior pituitary, a "master gland" which releases many different hormones which can control other glands, such as thyroid stimulating hormone, Adrenocorticotrophic hormone, Gonadotropins, growth hormone, and others.
What substance is produced and released by neurons in the brain?
The substance that is produced and released by neurons in the brain is a hormone called dopamine. It acts as a neurotransmitter that sends signals between nerve cells.
Are neurons in the endocrine system?
Yes they are the secreations of endocrine glands
What is a hormone secreted by a muscle cell and two hormones secreted by neurons?
Muscles aren't really known for secreting hormones, unless it is cardiac muscle,it secretes atrial natriuretic peptide( ANP). Neurons secrete neurohormones like anti-diuretic hormone(ADH) and oxytocin.
What hormones are produced and released by neurons in the brain rather that by the endocrine glands?
ity is messiephobia lol A hormone, wherever it is formed, that is delivered to the target tissue via the blood is called an endocrine (endo = within + crine = to secrete) hormone. They may be or protein or steroid structure. Neurons that make hormones are located in the hypothalamus. The hormones produced are oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone which are stored in the posterior pituitary (neurohypothalamus). They are still distributed as the other endocrine hormones are.
Where do neurons originate from?
endocrine system
What regulates chemical environment of neurons?
astrocytes

What gland secretes prolactin?
Oxytocin, also knwon as the "cuddle hormone" is produced in hypothalamic neurons.
Is the endocrine system made up of organs called neurons?
No, it is not.
What is neuroendocrine?
Pertaining to the anatomic and functional relationships between the nervous system and the endocrine apparatus. 2. Descriptive of cells that release a hormone into the circulating blood in response to a neural stimulus. Such cells may compose a peripheral endocrine gland (e.g., the insulin-secreting beta cells of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas and the adrenaline-secreting chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla); others are neurons in the brain (e.g., the neurons of the supraoptic nucleus that release antidiuretic hormone from their axon terminals in the posterior lobe of the hypophysis).
What do you call the neurons that connect the brain with endocrine glands?
the motor glands
How does the endocrine system compare to the nervous system in regulating homeostasis?
Nervous System mainly the hypothalamus secretes different relasing and inhibiting hormones that controls the secretions of various hormones from anterior pituitary as well as secretes two important neuro-hormones viz. oxytosin and vasopressin. thus nervous system along with endocrine system works together to maintain homeostasis.
Which hormone is regulated by a neuroendocrine reflex?
The neuroendocrine reflex is initiated by stimulation of sensory neurons that cause a release of a neurohormone from the neurosecretory cells. It is the simple neural reflex that controls the neuroendocrine reflex. The natural progression of events in this system is sensory nerves respond to a stimulus, be it thermal, tactile, or visual. These sensory nerves then synapse with interneurons in the spinal cord. Where efferent neurons, or neurons conducting impulses outwards from the brain or spinal cord, travel to the hypothalamus where the hypothalamic neurons release neurohormones. These neurohormones then enter the blood and activate the target tissues, such as the anterior lobe of the pituitary, mammary glands, or the epididymis. Senger, P.L.
