The advantage of portal circulation is that_____.
it can deliver all of the hormone molecules made one gland to a second gland
it ensures that endocrine hormones will be transported to all cells throughout the body
it allows cells to make more of a hormone so they are more effective in stimulating target cells
it prevents target cells from being desensitized by constant high levels of the hormone
Hormones secreted from the posterior pituitary gland are synthesized by_______.
" endocrine cells in the thyroid gland, adrenal glands, and parathyroid glands"
neurons in the hypothalamus with axons going to the posterior pituitary gland
endocrine cells located in the anterior pituitary gland
