What is a major hormone of the GI tract that triggers the stomach to release HCL?

Gastrin is a major hormone of the GI tract that triggers the stomach to release hydrochloric acid (HCl). It is a peptide hormone that is released by G cells in the stomach in response to food intake and acts on parietal cells in the stomach lining to stimulate the production of HCl.


What substances functions to control the release of hydrochloric acid to prevent excessive acidity?

I was looking for the answer to this too, and found that Gastrin (a hormone of the stomach) stimulates hydrochloric acid to be released to maintain the appropriate pH level. Are you in the same nutriton class as me? haha cause this is a quiz question for mine.


Which hormone suppresses spermatogenesis without affecting testosterone secretion?

Inhibin is a hormone produced by the testes that suppresses spermatogenesis by inhibiting the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the pituitary gland. It specifically targets FSH to regulate sperm production without affecting testosterone secretion.


Hormone concentration levels are most commonly controlled by?

There are three mechanisms which govern hormone release; hormonal, humoral, and neural. Hormonal release means that one hormone will trigger the release of a second hormone. An example of this would be thyroid-releasing hormone from the anterior pituitary causing the release of thyroid hormone from, er, the thyroid. Humoral release is triggered by the presence of certain ions or nutrients in the blood stream. Insulin is an example of humoral release because it is triggered by the presence of glucose in the bloodstream. Finally neural release is a release caused by the nervous system directly. A good example of that would be the release of adrenaline (epinephrine) from the adrenal glands by the sympathetic nervous system.


Is hydrochloric a base?

No, hydrochloric acid is an acid, not a base. It is a strong acid that dissociates in water to release hydrogen ions.

Is it true or false that feedback controls stop and start hormone release?

I think the answer is absolutely true Because the feedback controls stop and start of hormone release

What hormone controls the release of anterior pititary gondotropins?

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)The anterior pituitary gland is controlled via portal system of veins from the Hypothalamus. Directly the Hypothalamus secretes GnRH (gonadtropin releasing hormone) to the anterior pituitary gland to stimulate the release of the gonadtropins FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and LH (lutenizing hormone). Testosterone is a male sex hormone that is synthesized by cells stimulated by LH & FSH


What does gastrin stimulate?

Gastrin is a hormone secreted by the stomach which stimulates the secretion of hydrochloric acid, increase motility, and stomach emptying.


What hormone stimulates and inhibits production of hormones by the pituitary gland?

The hypothalamus produces corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) to stimulate the pituitary gland to release adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) to stimulate the production of hormones. On the other hand, somatostatin inhibits the release of growth hormone and dopamine inhibits the release of prolactin from the pituitary gland.


Does increased thyroid hormone production increase or decrease TRH production?

Thyroid releasing hormone (TRH) is released when thyroid hormones are low. Increased thyroid hormone production would serve to inhibit/decrease TRH release.


Does increased thyroid hormone production increase or decrease TSH production?

Increase in thyroid hormone will lower TSH production, because there is a feedback loop between TSH that stimulates the production of thyroid hormone and the hormone that then will then regulate the stimulation of TSH so that thyroid hormone is not over produced.


What produces Thyroid stimulating hormone?

The hormone called as thyroid stimulating hormone stimulates the production of the thyroid hormone. It comes from anterior lobe of the pituitary. There is negative feed back system to regulate the hormone production in your body.

The pituitary hormone that controls the release of glucocorticoids from the adrenal cortex is?

Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is the pituitary hormone responsible for controlling the release of glucocorticoids from the adrenal cortex. ACTH stimulates the adrenal glands to produce and release cortisol in response to stress and other stimuli.


What is gnrh hormone?

GnRH (Gonadotropin-releasing hormone) is a hormone produced by the hypothalamus in the brain. It regulates the production and release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland, which in turn control the release of sex hormones from the ovaries and testes. GnRH plays a crucial role in the regulation of reproductive functions in both males and females.
