24
Q

Briefly describe one difference between endocrine and exocrine glands.

A

25
Q

T3 and T4 are triggered to be released in response to a tropic hormone produces in the:

A

anterior pituitary - TSH

26
Q

which stratum of the epidermis is most superficial?

A

receptors

28
Q

The upper region of the dermis, just deep to the epidermis is known as the (BLANK) region.

A

papillary

29
Q

Other than feedback control, name another mechanism to control hormone levels in the blood.

effect of insulin

A

lowers blood glucose levels by causing glucose to go into cells from the blood

32
Q

Briefly describe ONE difference between the way the endocrine system and the nervous system control body functions.
