Question 32

Negative feedback

Answer 32

regulate hormone production and secretion

Question 33

negative feedback: classic type

Answer 33

pituitary TSH and thyroid thyroxin hormone

Question 34

classic type step 1

Answer 34

decrease [thyroxin blood] = stimulates pituitary = TSH

Question 35

classic type step 2

Answer 35

TSH stimulates thyroid = secreted thyroxin

Question 36

Classic type step 3

Answer 36

[thyroxin blood] levels = TSH secretion stops
