Question
Chapter 46, Problem 4IQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: That how would the levels of leptin production is affected suppose the GIP and CCK sensors in the hypothalamus does not work.
Introduction: Hypothalamus is a portion of the brain. It contains a number of small nuclei with a variety of functions. One of the most essential functions of the hypothalamus is to link the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland.

If extracellular Ca2+ was returned to normal, but no Mg2+ was present in your preparation, what do
predict would happen to the threshold to induce LTP? Give a brief rationale for your prediction.
An area called the diencephalon includes the thalamus, which serves as an integrating center for sensory input. Immediately below it, is the _8__ which is critically important for helping us maintain homeostasis. The pituitary gland, which is sometimes referred to as the “master gland” of the endocrine system attaches to this structure by a stalk-like connection, but it is not visible in the specimen we’re looking at.
What evidence support the hypothesis that dopamine controls secretion of melanocyte stimulating hormone.
