Chapter 32.2, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To explain:
How would shortening the stimulus duration affect the need for negative feedback if a hormone pathway provides a transient response to a stimulus.
Introduction:
The organs of endocrine system release chemical signal as hormones. A hormone is released by the organ system when it receives an internal stimulus. The glands of endocrine system release their content directly into the blood circulation and regulate other organs of the body. They have no ducts and are called as ductless glands.
The hormones of endocrine system is responsible for the regulation of body

WHAT IF? Suppose you are standing at the edge of acliff and suddenly slip, barely managing to keep yourbalance and avoid falling. As your heart races, you feela burst of energy, due in part to a surge of blood intodilated (widened) vessels in your muscles and an upwardspike in the level of glucose in your blood. Why mightyou expect that this “fight-or-flight” response requiresboth the nervous and endocrine systems?
