QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS GRADED A+
>> Hypersecretion
Answer: Too much hormone is released
>> hyposecretion
Answer: Not enough hormone is released
>> 3 ways in which hormone secretion is triggered
Answer: Other hormones, nervous system, blood levels of chemicals
>> Other hormones
Answer: Secretion of some hormones is controlled by other hormones
>> Nervous system
Answer: Nerve impulses cause glands to secrete hormones
>> Blood levels of chemicals
Answer: Levels of nutrients and ions in the blood can cause glands to secrete hormones
>> Which gland has groups of cells called islets of langerhans
Answer: Pancreas
>> Hormones that are under the influence of the hypothalamus
Answer: Thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH), Andrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), prolactin(PRL),
growth hormone(GH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteninizing hormone (LH), antidiuretic
hormone (Adh or vasopressin), oxytocin(OT)

Answer: Posterior pituitary
>> Function of Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)
Answer: Stimulates the releases of thyroid hormones from the thyroid gland
>> Function of Abdrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
Answer: Stimulates the release of cortisol from the renal gland
>> Function of prolactin (PRL)
Answer: Enhances breast development and milk production
