→ Gland 1 -
→ Hormone 1- Gland 2 – Hormone 2
Some Endocrine Structures and Hormones
1. Posterior pituitary
2. Anterior pituitary
3. ADH
4. ACTH
5. Adrenal medulla
6. Adrenal cortex
7. Cortisol
8. Epinephrine
Select the number of the structure from the list above that corresponds to the gland or hormone in the long-term stress hormone release
pathway.
Gland 1
Hormone 1
Gland 2
Hormone 2
The endocrine system is composed of glands that secrete hormones that regulate the activity of different body cells. The pituitary gland is often called the "master gland" because it controls the activities of other glands.
Discuss a disorder associated with either hypo or hypersecretion of a specific hormone secreted by the pituitary gland.
Include in your discussion the answer to the following:
What effect will an increase or decrease in production have on the target organs?What signs and symptoms are associated with this condition and how is it treated?

- There is a significant difference between the lobes of the pituitary gland. Select ALL that apply, The neurohypophysis is significantly larger than the adenohypophysis The adenohypophysis is glandular and ductless. The neurophypophysis is not. The neurohypophysis is an elongation of the hypothalamus. The adenohypophysis produces prolactin which is stimulated by dopamine. The adenohypophysis produces prolactin which is inhibited by dopamine.arrow_forwardIn Graves' disease, the body attacks the thyroid gland tissue and causes it to overproduce thyroid hormones, resulting in elevated blood levels of T3 and T4. Which of the following statements would be TRUE? Since blood levels of thyroid hormones are elevated, the hypothalamus would not release TRH and the Anterior Pituitary Gland would release more TSH. Since blood levels of thyroid hormones are elevated, the hypothalamus would release more TRH and the Anterior Pituitary Gland would then stop releasing TSH. Since blood levels of thyroid hormones are elevated, the hypothalamus would not release TRH and the Anterior Pituitary Gland would not release TSH. Since blood levels of thyroid hormones are elevated, the hypothalamus would not release TSH and the Anterior Pituitary Gland would not release TRH.arrow_forwardNeuroendocrine glands are glands that are made up of both nervous tissue and endocrine tissue. This means that they can be directly stimulated by the nervous system to produce or release hormones. 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.

- Cushing’s syndrome is a disorder that occurs when your adrenal glands release too much cortisol.Sometimes, Cushing’s is caused by a hormone-secreting tumor that leads to dysregulation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal gland axis. Below, are listed a few tests doctors perform to determine the specific cause of Cushing’s in each patient. Please read the description of the test and possible results and respond to the prompts below. 1 Measure blood levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). If ACTH levels are lower than normal, where is the tumor? How do you know? Remember, this person has high cortisol levels 2 Conduct a corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) stimulation test where you inject a shot of CRH. If this test results in a normal increase in ACTH levels, where is the tumor? How do you know? 3 Inject a very high-dose of compound that is a cortisol-receptor agonist. A few hours later measure levels of circulating ACTH.
