What is the name of the hormone that promotes sodium retention and potassium secretion?
Aldosterone is the hormone responsible for promoting sodium retention and potassium secretion in the kidneys. It helps regulate blood pressure and electrolyte balance in the body.
Which gland stimulates growth and stimulates secretion of hormones from other glands?
The pituitary gland is responsible for stimulating growth and secretion of hormones from other glands in the body. It releases various hormones that regulate functions such as growth, reproduction, and metabolism.
What endocrine gland in the human body is primarily responsible for maintaining homeostasis?
The hypothalamus is primarily responsible for maintaining homeostasis in the human body by regulating hormone production and secretion from the pituitary gland. The hypothalamus controls functions such as body temperature, thirst, hunger, and sleep, helping to keep the body in balance.
What hormone is responsible for causing milk production in the body?
The hormone responsible for causing milk production in the body is called prolactin.
Control of hormone secretions is essential to maintain?
proper physiological function and homeostasis in the body. Hormone secretions are tightly regulated by various feedback mechanisms involving the endocrine system, nervous system, and other physiological processes. Imbalances in hormone secretion can lead to numerous health issues and dysfunctions in the body.
Is growth hormone a tropic hormone?
Tropic hormones are responsible for telling the body to secrete other hormones. They accomplish this by targeting endocrine glands. Most tropic hormones are secreted by the anterior pituitary.
What type of diabetes is due to a deficiency of the secretion of antidiuretic hormone?
Hypothalamic ("central") diabetes insipidus. It is a hormonal disorder, in what either not enough antidiuretic hormone was made by hypothalamus, or not enough was released by the pituitary gland. The result is frequent, large volume urination as the body's water (fluid) balancing ability is disturbed.
A substance secreted by cells or glands that have a regulatory effect in the body?
That is called a hormone. It is an organic secretion
Alcohol inhibits the secretion of what hormone?
Alcohol can inhibit the secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also known as vasopressin. ADH is produced in the hypothalamus and helps regulate the balance of water and electrolytes in the body by controlling water reabsorption in the kidneys.
What is somatostanin?
Somatostatin is a hormone produced in the pancreas and other parts of the body that regulates various physiological functions, including the inhibition of growth hormone secretion from the pituitary gland and the inhibition of gastric acid secretion in the stomach. It also plays a role in regulating insulin and glucagon secretion from the pancreas.
What body system would you find the stomach?
The stomach is a part of the digestive system. It is responsible for breaking down food through the secretion of digestive enzymes and acids.
What is hormone secretion?
Endocrine glands secrete hormones.
