How does the body normally regulate the amount of Cortisol being released, and what happens if this feedback mechanism fails?

Which hormone is stored in vesicles? (select all that apply) - aldosterone - cortisol - epinephrine - growth hormone

where does thyroid hormone act to achieve negative feedback? Choose two answers hypothalamus, anterior pituitary, thyroid gland, target cells

Which target organ has glucagon, and which is the main effect of the hormone?

Elevated levels of cortisol have been shown to reduce areas of the hippocampus in the brain resulting in short term memory loss in older adults.(source: Sonia J. Lupien et al. Nature Neuroscience 1, 69–73 [1998])Exposure to long-term stress results in elevated levels of cortisol in adults. Over time, cortisol may have detrimental effects on your health.Determine the effect below that is NOT a result of long-term stress.

What are the components of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis? How does it regular secretion from the adrenal gland?

Know which hormone is released by the hypothalamus and which is released by the anterior pituitary. Know whether the hypothalamic hormone is a releasing or inhibiting hormone. What are the targets in the body of the anterior pituitary hormones and what do those targets secrete? What is the final target and response? Make sure you know both the abbreviations and the full names of the hormones.  Dopamine, prolactin Somatostatin, GHRH, GH, insulin-like growth factors TRH, TSH, thyroid hormone CRH, ACTH, and cortisol  GnRH, FSH, LH, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone
