You are riding your bike when a small child suddenly darts out in front of you. which of your endocrine glands is most likely to release a hormone in response to this situation?
The Adrenal Gland.
What glands and organs release hormones in the female reproductive system?
These are the hormone glands of the endocrine system:OvaryTestesPancreasAdrenalThymusParathyroidThyroidPituitary (Posterior and anterior)HypothalamusPineal
What 3 ways can endocrine glands stimulate themselves?
Endocrine glands usually release hormones into the blood stream that affect how body tissues behave as well as how some glands and muscle perform. The three ways that stimulate endocrine glands to release hormone are as follows; the release of another hormone, presence of some substances in extracellular fluids and neural stimulation.
What is the method that tropic and nontropic hormones produce response?
Tropic hormones stimulate endocrine glands to release another hormone which affects the target cells whereas non-tropic hormones act directly on the target cells.
Is the posterior pituitary gland a true endocrine gland?
It is only a hormone storage area that receives hormones from the hypothalamus for release.
What are the main target organs for tropic hormones?
The anterior pituitary produces tropic hormones. These hormones include; thyroid-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, and follicle-stimulating hormone. The hypothalamus controls the release of these hormones.
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).
Which process results in increased blood pressure in response to hormone release?
myogenic mechanism
Why an injury to the brain affects the endocrine?
An injury to the brain can affect the endocrine system because the brain plays a crucial role in regulating hormone production and release. The hypothalamus, which is located in the brain, controls the release of various hormones that then act on the pituitary gland, which in turn stimulates other endocrine glands to produce hormones. Damage to the brain can disrupt this intricate regulation, leading to imbalances in hormone levels and dysfunction in the endocrine system.
Why isn't the neurohypophysis or posterior lobe of the pituitary gland a true endocrine gland?
It is only a hormone storage area that receives hormones from the hypothalamus for release. Since it does not make its own secretions (it only stores the neuroendocrine hormones made by the hypothalamus) it is not considered a true endocrine gland.
What is the process of the endocrine system?
In the most simplistic manner, hormones. Whether it is peptides or steroids they all come from glands in the endocrine system. These hormones control everything from growth, menstrual cycle, water reabsorption and beyond. The prominent endocrine pathway has three levels. First an action potental is sent to the hypothalamus which triggers the release of a releasing hormone into the hypothalamo-pituitary-portal vessel such as GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone). This travels down to the anterior pituitary wich then triggers the synthesis and release of a stimulating hormone such as gonadotropins (FSH and LH). the last level is on the local level, FSH triggers the production of estrogens and/or testosterone in the gonads.
How does the endocrines system's negative feedback system work?
Through negative feedback when the amount of a particular hormone in he blood reaches a certain level the endocrine system sends signals that stop the release of hormone.
