stimulation of hormone synthesis and release

Question 1

what is hormone release regulated by

Answer 1

endocrine reflexes

Question 2

what types of stimuli can initiate hormone release

Answer 2

hormonal, humoral, or nervous stimuli

Question 3

what is hormonal stimulation

Answer 3

the release of another hormone that triggers release of the hormone

Question 4

what is humoral stimulation

Answer 4

when changes in level of nutrient or ion in the blood triggers release of the hormone

Question 5

what is nervous system stimulation

Answer 5

stimulation by the nervous system (neuron) triggers release of the hormone

Question 6

what is the first step in hormonal stimulation

Answer 6

anterior pituitary releases thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)

Question 7

what is the second step in hormonal stimulation

Answer 7

TSH stimulates thyroid gland to release thyroid hormone TH

Question 8

what is the first step in humoral stimulation

Answer 8

blood glucose levels rise

Question 9

what is the 2nd step in humoral stimulation

Answer 9

increased blood glucose stimulates pancreas to release insulin

Question 10

what is the 1st step in nervous system stimulation

Answer 10

sympathetic division (fight or flight) is activated

Question 11

what is the 2nd step in nervous system stimulation

Answer 11

sympathetic preganglionic axons stimulate adrenal medulla to release epinephrine and norepinephrine
