To discuss:
The example and mechanism of positive and negative feedback control of the hypothalamus and pituitary.
Introduction:
Hormones are chemical messengers secreted by the glands into the extracellular fluids. The secreted hormones reach the target cells through the bloodstream and they stimulate response of other tissues or cells. Hormones bind only to specific cells based on their corresponding receptors present on cells and they act through chemical signals. They regulate growth, development, blood pressure,

- Each steroidogenic organ has all the enzymes necessary to produce any steroid hormone. (True or false?)arrow_forwardGive two examples of feedback control of hormone activity.arrow_forwardAddisons disease develops when the adrenal cortex does not secrete enough mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids. President John F. Kennedy was diagnosed with the disease when he was a young man. Before he started treatment with hormone replacement therapy, he was hypoglycemic and lost weight. Which missing hormone was responsible for his weight loss? How might Addisons disease have affected his blood pressure?arrow_forward
- 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_forwardThe secretion of hormones from the anterior pituitary is controlled by: action potentials from the posterior pituitary. the hypothalamic-pituitary tract. positive-feedback glucose in the blood. neurohormones.arrow_forwardInhibition Pineal gland SCN Stimulation Which hormone's inhibition/stimulation is being demonstrated in the image above? Melatonin Norepinephrine Glucocorticoid Adrenalinarrow_forward
