Human Physiology Chapter 18 Endocrine System

Across
releases and inhibits hormones help regulate anterior-pituitary hormone secretion
makes and secretes six different peptide hormones, 5 out of the 6 are tropic
steroids and thyroid hormone, hormones that must be bound to plasma proteins when in circulation.
Name of the anterior pituitary gland
A hormone's _____ is dependent upon a hormone's rate of secretion, rate of activation, how much is bound in plasma and rate of inactivation and excretion.
primary hormone responsible for regulating overall body growth and is important in intermediary metabolism
Another name for the pituitary gland
stimulates secretion of cortisol by adrenal cortex
a normal gland is receiving too little tropic stimulation.
overall concentrations of both stimulating hormone and end-product are kept at normal levels by this
receptors are functionally removed from being able to interact with the hormone
Produced in the hypothalamus ,causes increased contraction of the uterus during labor and stimulates the ejection of milk into the ducts of the breasts.

responsible for ovulation and luteinization, regulates ovarian secretion of female sex hormones, and stimulates the function of the corpus luteum and in males stimulates testosterone secretion

Cells with the appropriate hormone receptors for binding of the hormone.
