Question
Chapter 17, Problem 1CRCAQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The sequence of events during a stressful situation, starting from the secretion of corticotropin releasing hormone and concluding with the release of cortisol.
Introduction:
Endocrine glands in the human body are associated with formation as well as secretion of several types of hormones. These hormones regulate various processes in the human body. The pituitary gland is often referred to as the master gland of the body, as its secretions regulate a number of endocrine glands. Hormones deal with various situations of the human body like stress and joy.

Students have asked these similar questions
Cortisol is known as one of the major stress hormones
we produce in response to external stresses we
experience.
If we wanted to inhibit the production and secretion of
Cortisol, what steps that lead to the production to
Cortisol could you theoretically block with a drug?
Don't just list targets,but explain.your rationale in your
answer.
The hypothalamus has receptors for all of the following hormones EXCEPT. Choose the exception. (hint: involved with feedback
regulation)
thyroxine
adrenocorticotropic hormone
testosterone
cortisol
estrogen
The endocrine system is composed of glands that secrete hormones that regulate the activity of different body cells. The pituitary gland is often called the "master gland" because it controls the activities of other glands.
Discuss a disorder associated with either hypo or hypersecretion of a specific hormone secreted by the pituitary gland.
Include in your discussion the answer to the following:
What effect will an increase or decrease in production have on the target organs?What signs and symptoms are associated with this condition and how is it treated?

- The condition hypothyroidism is characterized by a decrease in the synthesis and secretion of the chemical thyroid hormone from the thyroid gland, an organ in the neck that is part of the endocrine system. Which level of organization does not match this condition? A. The thyroid glad is regulated by others hormones from other glands in the body at an organ system level. B. The endocrine system works with the cardiovascular system to allow transporting the hormones throughout the body function at the organism level. C. At the tissue level group's of follicular cells that make the thyroid hormones form a spherical structure with a hollow interior called follicle. D. The plasma membrane of follicular cells that are found in the thyroid gland is made up of phospholipid bilayer at the tissue level.arrow_forwardElevated levels of cortisol have been shown to reduce areas of the hippocampus in the brain resulting in short term memory loss in older adults. (source: Sonia J. Lupien et al. Nature Neuroscience 1, 69-73 [1998]) Exposure to long-term stress results in elevated levels of cortisol in adults. Over time, cortisol may have detrimental effects on your health. Determine the effect below that is NOT a result of long-term stress. Select one: O a. Blood pressure is elevated. O b. The body is more prone to infections. c. The breathing rate increases. Od. Blood sugar levels are elevated.

- People who have suffered severe stress may have difficulties remembering the stressful events. Parts of the brain, including hippocampus, are rich in cortisol receptor proteins. Explain the relationship between these observations.arrow_forwardOne of the main endocrine glands in the human body is the pituitary gland. This gland produces a variety of hormones with different effects. Among these are a heterogeneous group of hormones called tropic hormones, which directly stimulate the secretion of other hormones from downstream endocrine glands. Which of the following are tropic hormones? Select all that apply.   LH   Prolactin   Oxytocin   ACTH   TSH   testosteronearrow_forwardA group of college students is restricted to four hours of sleep per night for five days. After this time, the students are given a glucose tolerance test and are found to be pre-diabetic. Researchers hypothesize that the lack of sleep triggered the body to respond as if it were undergoing long-term stress. The hormone that is released in response to long-term stress and its effect on blood glucose levels are, respectively: Select one: a. Hormone Effect on Blood Glucose Levels Cortisol Raises blood glucose levels b. Hormone Effect on Blood Glucose Levels Cortisol Lowers blood glucose levels c. Hormone Effect on Blood Glucose Levels Adrenaline Lowers blood glucose levels d. Hormone Effect on Blood Glucose Levels Adrenaline Raises blood glucose levelsarrow_forward

Assessing a noise in your environment (such as the hum of an air conditioner), and adapting to it (so you no longer unnecessarily pay attention to something unimportant).   B. Stimulating the gradual development (it takes days!) of follicles in the ovary, because hormonal signals have a more extended duration than a nervous system signal.    C.
