⩥ What is the most important influence on growth?
Answer: nutrition
⩥ The hypothalamus hormones control ___________ synthesis and
secretion in the anterior pituitary gland
Answer: growth hormone
⩥ The hypothalamus secretes what hormone?
Answer: GnRH (Growth hormone-releasing hormone)
⩥ GHRH stimulates the anterior pituitary to release?
Answer: Growth hormone
⩥ Somatostatin or Growth hormone-inhibiting hormone (GHIH) inhibits
the secretion of both ______________ and _______________
Answer: GHRH and TSH
,⩥ Which hormone is secreted in pulses with 70% occuring during sleep?
Answer: growth hormone
⩥ Which hormone promotes growth and increase in organ size, and
regulates carbs/protein/lipid metabolism?
Answer: Growth hormone
⩥ What are the three effects of growth hormone on the body?
Answer: 1. glucose sparing effect (breakdown stored fat for fueling
growth effects)
2. Growth effects (works on bone, muscle, nervous, and immune system
cells)
3. Diabetogenic effects (stimulates the liver to conver glycogen into
glucose to fuel growth effects and release of inslulin-like growth factor-1
to further stimulate growth effects)
⩥ when does the hypothalamus stop secreting GHRH?
Answer: When it perceives high IGF-1 and releases GHIH to inhibit GH
release by ant. pituitary
⩥ Thyroid hormone stimulates... what?
Answer: - growth hormone secretion
- production of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1)
, - production of interleukins 6 and 8 (IL-6 and IL-8) which have an
important role in bone formation and resorption
⩥ Where is insulin-like growth factor produced?
Answer: by liver, and in peripheral tissues like bone
⩥ IGF-1 is produced by the liver and has a role in __________ growth
Answer: skeletal
⩥ The production of IGF-1 is stimulated by _____.
Answer: Thyroid hormone and insulin
⩥ The gonads begin to secrete testosterone and estrogen during
_____________
Answer: puberty
⩥ IGF-1 exerts a negative feedback effect on ____________ secretion
Answer: GH- mediates effects of GH on the bone, muscle, nervous
system and immune system cells
⩥ A peptide (hunger hormone)
Answer: Ghrelin
