Q

Anterior Pituitary Gland

A

Adenohypophysis

17
Q

Posterior Pituitary Gland

A

Neurohypophysis (oxytocin, ADH)

18
Q

Direct Feedback

A

Only the endocrine system, the endocrine gland acts both as the integrating center and as a tissue that communicates with the target organ

19
Q

First-Order Feedback

A

One step (a neuron that releases a neurotransmitter or a neurohormone) between the integrating center and the target organ

20
Q

Second-Order Feedback

A

Two steps (a neuron and an endocrine gland) between the integrating center and the target organ

21
Q

Third-Order Feedback

A

Loops contain an additional endocrine gland in the pathway, providing a third point of feedback regulation

22
Q

First-Order Hormones

A

Oxytocin, ADH

23
Q

Second-Order Hormones

A

GH, Prolactin, Melanocyte Stimulating

24
Q

Third-Order Hormones

A

HPA, HPI, HPG
