- Indicate whether the following statements about the pituitary glands are TRUE or FALSE. If the statement is false, correct the statement to make it true 1. The anterior and posterior pituitary glands are responsible for producing and releasing hormones. 2. The posterior pituitary gland is regulated by the hypothalamus via a positive feedback loop. 3. The hypothalamus regulates the release of cortisol via the sympathetic nervous system and that of epinephrine via the parasympathetic nervous system. 4. The releasing hormones from the hypothalamus stimulate the production of stimulating hormones and human growth hormone.arrow_forwardIdentify the hormone if hypothalamic, anterior pituitary, posterior pituitary, or peripheral hormone: a.

His brow and jaw are enlarged (proganthism), his hands and feet and fingers are wide. His wedding ring no longer fits on his finger. He is obese and has a deep voice.

GHarrow_forwardCushing’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. If the test results in normal…arrow_forwardAntidiuretic hormone (ADH) and oxytocin are Select one: a. produced in the hypothalamus and secreted by the posterior pituitary b. produced in the hypothalamus and secreted by the anterior pituitary c. produced in the anterior pituitary and secreted by the posterior pituitary d. produced in the anterior pituitary and secreted by the hypothalamusarrow_forward
