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.
How many major salivary glands do cat have?

What is multiple endocrine neoplasia syndromes?

What are three ways in which endocrine glands are stimulated to secrete their hormones?
· Hormonal stimuli - the most common; endocrine organs are prodded into action by other hormones. Hormone release promoted by this mechanism tends to be rhythmic, with hormone blood levels rising and falling again and again · Humoral Stimuli - changing blood levels of certain ions and nutrients stimulate hormone release. Humoral refers to humor to indicate the various body fluids (blood, bile, etc). · Neural Stimuli - In isolated cases, nerve fibers stimulate hormone release, and the target cells are said to respond to neural stimulus. The classic example is sympathetic nervous system stimulation of the adrenal medulla to release norepinephrine and epinephrine during periods of stress.
