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.

Growth hormone.
What is the production of hormones from the pituitary gland regulated by?
I don't know the name of the hormone but I do know that it signals other glands to produce growth hormones.
Which pair works together to form the neuroendocrine system?
Neurotransmitters and hormones from the nervous and endocrine systems, respectively, work together to form the neuroendocrine system.
The rate of metabolism of all body cells is regulated by?
the heart really controlls everything because the heart keep us alive
What hormones is regulated by a neuroendocrine reflex oxytocin cortisol antidiuretic hormone?
oxytocin
Which hormones is regulated by a neuroendocrine (letdown) reflex?
The neuroendocrine "letdown" reflex is regulated by oxytocin.
What hormones is regulated by a neuroendocrine reflex?
oxytocin
Milk letdown is a neuroendocrine reflex arc that requires which hormone?
oxytocin
How is anti diuretic hormone secretion regulated?
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is regulated by the pituitary gland. The anitidiuretic hormone maintains blood pressure and controls incoming water through the kidneys
Calcium levels in the blood and tissues are regulated by calcitonin working with the hormone?
The parathyroid hormone
What hormone causes dwarfism or gigantism in children when levels are improprerly regulated?
Growth hormone.
What type of reflex does the secretion of the hormone insulin in response to changes in blood glucose levels?
Endocrine reflex
Hormone production is self regulated by which mechanism?
Hormone production is self-regulated through a negative feedback mechanism. This means that when hormone levels in the blood reach a certain threshold, the body signals the glands to stop producing that hormone until levels drop back down. This helps maintain a balance of hormones in the body.
What is ovulation regulated by?
Estrogen is the hormone. It is secreted by ovaries
What mineral is regulated by calcitonin and parathyroid hormone?
calcium
Parathyroid hormone regulated?
