____________ (hormone) increases prolactin release. Very high levels of this hormone during pregnancy actually block the effect of prolactin on milk _________ hormones are necessary for the release of __________ hormone.
This is an example of modulation of a hormone by a target hormone of Suckling of an infant causes milk letdown by stimulating what hormone? Changes in osmolarity detected by chemically sensitive neurons in the hypothalamus will alter what hormone’s level? ______________ Cortisol release is synchronized by the light/dark cycle and has a 24 hour pattern of secretion known as a _____________ rhythm. Levels are highest Besides controlling levels of T3 and T4, TSH also promotes __________ of the thyroid gland. T3 and T4 are carried in the blood stream bound to _________ ________ because they are (hydrophilic or lipophilic).
T3 and T4 enter the target cells by __________ and bind to receptors located ______________. T3 and T4 are synthesized from ___________ and Which of the following would be symptoms of hypothyroidism also known as Lack of dietary iodine would cause (primary or secondary) hypothyroidism and the patient would probably get an iodine-deficient _________.
Graves’ disease is the most common cause of primary ___________________. The body secretes _________ __________ ____________, which mimics the action of TSH and thus may cause a ___________ as well as high levels of thyroid hormones.
What two body systems work together to provide well coordinated, generalized, nonspecific responses to combat stress? _______________ and Increased levels of what three hormones indicate that an individual is In the nervous system’s response to stress, ____________ and exert many effects on the body. Choose the correct response in the pairs listed.
↑ or ↓ blood flow to digestive system ↑ or ↓ plasma levels of glucose, fatty acids etc In response to stress, the hypothalamus increases the release of CRH, which increases ________ from the anterior pituitary and ___________ from the adrenal cortex. These hormones prolong the response to stress provided by the Cortisol enhances ____________________ (in vessels) to help maintain blood pressure and also (increases or inhibits) the inflammation and immune Besides cortisol, the adrenal cortex releases _______________, which promotes salt and water retention, which helps maintain blood volume and ____________ (posterior pituitary hormone) also aids in the stress response by promoting water retention and at high levels it is a potent _______________. Both of these help maintain blood pressure.
Epinephrine is a (lipophilic or hydrophilic) hormone. Thus it (does or does not) require a protein carrier and the receptors at the target cell are located _______________. Epinephrine is synthesized from ______________ and has a very short half-life of ______.
_______________ is a condition in which there is hypersecretion of catecholamines by a tumor in the adrenal medulla. Which of the following symptoms would be present in a patient with this condition? Cortisol is a (lipophilic or hydrophilic) hormone. Thus it (does or does not) require a protein carrier and the receptors on the target organ are located _____________. Cortisol is synthesized from _____________ and has a Hypercortisolism is better known as ___________ __________, which is due to a hypersecreting tumor in the anterior pituitary. What hormone is being hypersecreted? _________________. Hypercortisolism from all other causes, such as glucocorticoid drugs, is known as __________ Primary adrenal insufficiency is better known as __________ _______.
What two hormones are deficient? _____________ and _______________ The following symptoms would be characteristic of which disease? Low blood pressure, decreased plasma sodium and hypoglycemia The following symptoms would be characteristic of which disease? high blood pressure, poor wound healing and hyperglycemia Classify the following as either part of the rapid response (R) to stress mediated by the sympathetic nervous system or the prolonged (P) response of the endocrine system: maintains gas exchange _____
