difference between the hypothalamus, pituitary and target organ.

Name the structure that connects the hypothalamus with the pituitary gland.

Describe the location, hormones, and functions of the pituitary gland.

Which of the following best describe hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis? A) Glucocorticoids are secreted by the adrenal cortex zona fasciculata B) Glucocorticoids exert effects on target tissues and also provide negative feedback to the anterior pituitary C) ACTH from the anterior pituitary exerts negative feedback on the hypothalamus D) All of the above are correct E) None of the above are correct

Discuss how the hypothalamus controls endocrine secretions from the pituitary gland and describe the hierarchy of the endocrine system.

Briefly describe how hormones from posterior pituitary are released into bloodstream.

What hormones are secreted by the posterior pituitary? What effect would stalk interruption have on those hormones, and the body?

Identify and shortly describe any examples of nervous system control in this diagram.

Epinephrine 1) transmits information across the synapse in the brain but is 2) also released by the adrenal glands into the blood supply. Which neurochemical roles is epinephrine playing in these descriptions? A) 1) neurotransmitter and 2) neurohormone B) 1) neuromodulator and 2) neurohormone C) 1) neurohormone and 2) neuromodulator D) 1) neurotransmitter and 2) neuromodulator

The hypothalamus releases which travels through the portal system to the anterior pituitary, which stimulates the release of A somatostatin: somatocrinin B somatocrinin somatotropin C somatomedin: somatocrinin D somatotropin: somatostatin
