Similar to neurotransmitters, a/an _ _ in the neuron causes their release. They are stored in the axon terminals located in the _ pituitary. ventral anterior hypophyseal portal veins infundibulum _ and _, the posterior pituitary hormones, are synthesized in the _ and _ nuclei of the hypothalamus. The hormones are released into capillary beds and carried directly to the pituitary by the _ _ _, located in the _. _ 6._ endocrine/epithelial TSH FSH LH ACTH GH PRL TRH, GNRH, CRH, etc., are known as _ hypothalamic hormones that regulate the function of the _ pituitary. Name the six classic hormones whose functions are well known. TERMS IN THIS SET (14) The anterior pituitary is composed of _ tissue. B The hormone from the posterior pituitary that increases water reabsorption in the kidney tubules is E Which of the following is NOT a regulatory function of the endocrine system?Ī) Regulation of growth, metabolism and tissue maturation.ī) Heart rate and blood pressure regulationĬ) Control over the production and functions of immune cellsĭ) Regulation of the development and function of the reproductive organs in both males and females.Į) All of these are regulatory functions of the endocrine system. D Testosteroneī) stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce adrenal androgens.Ĭ) secretion is stimulated by hormones from the posterior pituitary.ĭ) has a negative feedback effect on the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary.Į) has all of these effects.
