feedback of hormones - CORRECT ANSWER Hypothalamus release TRH > pituitary
releases TSH > thyroid releases T3 and T4

(________________), which causes the thyroid to secrete ________ - CORRECT
ANSWER thyroid stimulating hormone, T3 and T4

T4, which will then increase TSH in feedback loop. we need iodine T3 and T4 to synthesis the
iodine
