What releases a hormone that tells the adrenal cortex to release cortisol?

Match the adrenal hormones with their source and actions. (1) cortisol (2) aldosterone (3) epinephrine A. cortex; sodium retention B. cortex; fatty acid release C. medulla; fight-or-flight response

Which of the following hormones is secreted by anterior pituitary cells that stain with acidic dyes? A. ACTH B. FSH C. LH D. Prolactin E. TSH

What casuses a cell to be sensative to particular hormone? A. all cells are exposed to the endocrine signals so they are all sensivtive to it B.the presense of receptors for that hormone c. the shorter the distance between the source cell and the target cell, the more sensitive the target cell is to the hormone.

Which of these dysfunctions of the endocrine system would most likely result in excess serum glucose?   A. low secretion of insulin by the pancreas   B. excess secretion of insulin by the pancreas   C. low secretion of ADH by the pituitary   D. excess secretion of ADH by the pituitary

The hypothalamus and pituitary gland are considered equally important since the former: a. Tells the pituitary gland what to release and when. b. Brings in substance from the thyroid. c. Contracts and relaxes to regulate the master gland d. Stores and releases secretions of pituitary gland

What would happen to male hormone levels if the hypothalamus producedgonadotropic releasing hormone (GnRH) continuously?A.
