Question 1

Role of endocrine glands

Answer 1

Secrete hormones into systemic circulation

Question 2

What mediates the endocrinesystem?

Answer 2

Hormones

Question 3

Role of hormones

Answer 3

Chemical messengers that transport information from the endocrine/exocrine glands to target system

Question 4

Hormone secretion is regulated by?

Answer 4

Feedback mechanisms, autoregulation

Question 5

Neurosecretary hormones

Answer 5

ADH & cortisol

Question 6

Hormones released from the anterior rotary

Answer 6

Growth hormone (somatotropin) ) adrenocoticotropic hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone) follicle stimulating hormone) luteinizing hormone/ prolactin

Question 7

What is TRH

Answer 7

Thyrotropin releasing hormone

Question 8

What is the target site for TRH

Answer 8

Anterior pituitary

Question 9

What is the target site forTSH

Answer 9

Thyroid

Question 10

What is CRH

Answer 10

Corticotropin releasing hormone

Question 11

Once CRH reaches the anterior pituitary-gland what gets released?

Answer 11

Adrenocorticotropic hormone

Question 12

ADH stimulatesthe adrenal cortex to release what?

Answer 12

Cortisol

Question 13

Give an example of a negative feedback loop.

Answer 13

The hypothalamus releases corticotropin releasing hormone to the anterior pituitary gland which then releases adrenocoticotropic hormone which stimulates the adrenal contexts release cortisol. Cortisol levels feed back to the anterior pituitary to inhibit the release of adrenocoticotropic hormone and to the hypothalamus to stop releasing corticotropin hormone.

Question 14

Where is the target site for gonadotropin releasing hormones

Answer 14

Anterior pituitary which then releases follicle stimulating hormone and lutienizibg hormone to the testes to make testosterone and the ovaries to make estrogen.
