Endocrinology
Because they are relatively hydrophobic, peptide hormones can interact with both cytoplasmic and nuclear receptors, depending on the specific hormone.
Rather than being stored in intracellular vesicles, catecholamine hormones are synthesized on demand and released immediately upon being synthesized.
Although vasopressin is synthesized in the hypothalamus, it is released from the terminals of neurons located in the posterior pituitary.
Help with 1 and 2 question:
1.) Which of the following pathways correctly shows the sequence of stimulations initiated by the hypothalamus that leads to the production of the long-term stress hormone?
A. hypothalamus ® spinal cord ® adrenal medulla that produces epinephrine
B. hypothalamus ® spinal cord ® adrenal medulla that produces norepinephrine
C. hypothalamus ® posterior pituitary ® adrenal cortex that produces cortisol
D. hypothalamus ® anterior pituitary ® adrenal cortex that produces cortisol
2.) Which of the following rows correctly identifies the types of hormones involved in the interactions of the nervous and master gland of the endocrine systems?
Row
Hypothalamus|Pituitary Gland
A. releasing hormone tropic hormone
B. releasing hormone target gland hormone
C. tropic hormone releasing hormone
D. tropic hormone target gland hormone
Intro to Neuro: Which hormone is released by the testes but not by the ovaries?
Group of answer choices
Testosterone
Progesterone
Estradiols
Androstenedione
None of the above
Possible Explanation. Is this a correct explanation?
Both the testes and ovaries produce several of the hormones listed. However, the distinguishing factor is the predominant site of production for each hormone:
Testosterone: Predominantly produced in the testes, but also produced in the ovaries (in smaller amounts) and adrenal glands.
Progesterone: Produced in both the ovaries (specifically in the corpus luteum) and the testes (in smaller amounts).
Estradiols: A type of estrogen, predominantly produced in the ovaries, but men also produce estradiol (in smaller amounts) in the testes and adrenal glands.
Androstenedione: A precursor to testosterone and estradiol, produced in both the ovaries and the testes, as well as the adrenal glands.
Given the options, none of the hormones are exclusively…
