An Endocrine Axis is a specific network composed of the set of neurons that complete an entire hormonal cycle (I.E. the hypothalamus takes up dopamine--which is produced in the liver-- in the form of L-Dopa and reconverts it into Dopamine which is then be released into the hypothalamic-pituitary Axis and inhibits the release hormones like prolactin.)
In this case the hypothalamus and the pituitary form an axis with respect to the trajectory of effect of Dopamine.
Hope this gives you an idea.
What else can I help you with?
Which system controls the endocrine system?
Endocrine is the correct answer for Apex
What does the hypothalamic-pituitary axis of the brain do?
The hypothalamic-pituitary axis (HPA) is a critical neuroendocrine system that regulates various physiological processes, including stress response, metabolism, reproduction, and immune function. It involves the hypothalamus releasing hormones that stimulate or inhibit the pituitary gland, which in turn secretes hormones that affect other endocrine glands, such as the adrenal glands and thyroid. This axis serves as a communication pathway between the nervous system and the endocrine system, ensuring the body maintains homeostasis and responds appropriately to internal and external stimuli.
What are glands that secrete hormones into the blood called?
endocrine glands
What is an endocrine cell?
Endocrine cells can be found in glands of the endocrine system.
How are hormones released by the endocrine system affect metabolisim blood-sugar level sex characteritics and the body'sreaction to stress?
You will find your answer if you review and maybe go in little detail about the HPA axis (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis). This feedback loop is of major importance in metabolism and secreting hormones responsible for sex characteristics.Also the axis is directly related to the stress response...
What human body system sends signals to glands in the endocrine system to release hormones?
what turns the endocrine on and what turns endocrine of
Is the endocrine system voluntary or involuntary?
The endocrine system is involuntary. A person cannot control the endocrine system by will.
How many endocrine glands are included in the endocrine subsection of the cpt manual?
there are nine glands in the endocrine system but only four are included in the endocrine subsection of the CPT manual.
What regulatory system controls the endocrine system?
The endocrine and nervous systems control the endocrine system. Messages from these systems cause the endocrine glands to change their production of hormones.
What are the effector tissues of the endocrine system?
The effector tissues of the endocrine system are the endocrine glands. Messages from the endocrine and nervous system cause these glands to alter production of hormones.
What glands are known to influence all other glands within the endocrine system?
The hypothalamus and the pituitary gland are the primary glands known to influence all other glands within the endocrine system. The hypothalamus produces hormones that regulate the pituitary gland, which in turn secretes hormones that control various other endocrine glands, such as the thyroid, adrenal glands, and reproductive glands. This relationship forms a critical regulatory axis in the body's hormonal balance and overall function.
Is endocrine good or bad?
The endocrine system is a vital human organ system. In that sense, the endocrine system is good.
