24
Q

Hypothalamus

A

Produces releasing hormones that stimulate inhibiting hormones

25
Where is the hypothalamus
The brain
26
How is hormone secretion stopped
Homeostatic level of blood glucose is detected
27
What does glucagon stimulate?
Target cells
28
When glucose levels are low
Alpha cell glucagon
29
Alpha cells
Able to detect blood glucose level levels
30
Beta cells of pancreas
Detect glucose levels
31
The most important part of homeostasis
Glucose concentration control in blood
32
Homeostasis is maintaining
Negative feedback mechanism
33
Homeostasis
Maintenance of internals
34
Endocrine role of pancreas
Release of insulin
35
What does the pancreas secrete?
Enzymes and hormones
36
External secretion
Produced by exocrine glands
37
Which glands have ducts
Exocrine
38
Hormones
Chemical messengers to cells and organs
39
What is the endocrine system?
Set of organs that release hormones into the circulatory system
