The pituitary gland and parathyroid gland are examples.Describe a situation/example for each (pituitary gland and parathyroid gland) that demonstrates the function mentioned above. Be specific.
One 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 testosterone

Which of the following statements are false regarding the endocrine (hormones) in comparison to the paracrine system? (there may be more than one answer) Hormones are less stable than paracrine signals Hormones have a lower affinity for their receptors than paracrine signals Hormones are produced in a greater quantity than are paracrine signals Hormones are produced by most cell types; paracrine signals are only produced as a response to an insult (wound or infection). Hormones are produced from cells at a greater distance to their response elements than paracrine signaling.
