- A physician sees a patient whose symptoms include sluggishness, depression, and intolerance to cold. After eliminating other possible causes, the doctor diagnoses a hormone problem. What disorder fits the symptoms? Why does the doctor suspect that the underlying cause is a malfunction of the anterior pituitary gland?arrow_forwardWhat is technical term for the cells of the pancreas that produce endocrine hormones?arrow_forwardName seven hormones produced by the anterior pituitary gland. Why are four of these seven hormones called “tropic hormones”? Explain how neurosecretory cells in the hypothalamus control secre-tion of hormones by the anterior pituitary gland.arrow_forward
- Compare and contrast the metabolic roles of cortisol and apinephrine by providing two similarities and two differences between the two hormones.arrow_forwardInsulin is a peptide hormone that is lacking from the body in some forms of diabetes mellitus. Why do people with this type of diabetes inject insulin rather than consuming an insulin pill?arrow_forwardList the 5 targets and major functions of the six classical anterior pituitary gland hormones?arrow_forward
- explain how certain of the actions of epinephrine, cortisol, and growth hormone illustrate in part the general principle of physiology that most physiological functions are controlled by multiple regulatory systems, often working in opposition.arrow_forwardWhich hormone would turn off the production of ACTH?arrow_forwardConstruct a three-column table. In the middle column, list the six hormones of the anterior pituitary gland. On the left, list the hypothalamic hormones that control these pituitary secretions. On the right, list the target organ and effect of each anterior pituitary hormone?arrow_forward
