Textbook Question
Chapter 7, Problem 5RQ
Put the following steps for identifying an endocrine gland in order:
- a. Purify the extracts and separate the active substances.
- b. Perform replacement therapy with the gland or its extracts and see if the abnormalities disappear.
- c. Implant the gland or administer the extract from the gland to a normal animal and see if symptoms characteristic of hormone excess appear.
- d. Put the subject into a state of hormone deficiency by removing the suspected gland, and monitor the development of abnormalities.

Students have asked these similar questions
A.Where are melanocyte stimulating hormone made? (cells, organ)
B.What organ/or cells secrete them? (may differ from site of formation)
C.What stimulates their secretion? Explain negative feedback control of secretion.
D.Where do they work (target)
E.What do they regulate: physiological outcome?
Which of the following statements about hormones is not correct?
A. The persistance of a hormone in the blood is usually of short duration.B. The time required for the onset of hormonal effects can vary
C. Organ responses to hormones occur as soon as receptors are bound.
D. The duration of hormone action is variable.
1) Hormone pathologies often manifest with elevated or lower hormones. The underlying cause may differ. What symptoms would be associated with hyperthyroidism?
2) Autoimmune disease in which auto-antibodies stimulate the TSH receptor (TSHR) on the thyroid gland. How would this affect levels of TRH, TSH, and TH? Draw out the H-P-T axis to illustrate changes in each hormone.
3) What symptoms would be associated with hypothyroidism?
4) How could this disease be treated? When the thyroid cells are destroyed, they cannot make hormones anymore and TH replacement needs to be given.
