Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The hypothalamus synthesizes the releasing hormones and inhibitory hormones which control secretion or inhibition of hormones by the anterior pituitary. The hypothalamus secretes six hormones namely thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), prolactin-inhibiting hormone (PIH), corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), growth hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH), and somatostatin. These hormones regulate the synthesis of pituitary hormones (FSH, LH, TSH, ACTH, prolactin, and GH). The pituitary hormones control other endocrine glands.

Answer to Problem 1TYR

Correct answer:

Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) secreted by the hypothalamus would not raise the thyroxine concentration in the blood. Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) from the hypothalamus promotes the release of thyroxine from the thyroid gland. Therefore, option b is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Justify reasons for the correct statement:

The thyroid follicular cells secrete thyroid hormones (TH) such as triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). The thyroid gland releases TH into the bloodstream. The secretion of thyroxine is not influenced by the CRH.

Option (b) is given as “thyroxine”.

CRH does not raise the thyroxine concentration in the blood.

Hence, option (b) is correct.

Justify reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option (a) is given as “ACTH.

The hypothalamus releases the CRH, which stimulates the anterior pituitary to secrete adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (c) is given as “cortisol”.

CRH stimulates ACTH secretion by the anterior pituitary. ACTH promotes the adrenal cortex to release of cortisol (glucocorticoids). Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (d) is given as “corticosterone”.

CRH stimulates ACTH secretion by the anterior pituitary. ACTH promotes the adrenal cortex to release the corticosterone (glucocorticoids). Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (e) is given as “glucose”.

The hypothalamus secretes the CRH that stimulates the release of ACTH by the anterior pituitary. ACTH stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete cortisol and corticosterone (glucocorticoids). Cortisol and corticosterone stimulate the catabolism of fat and protein and promote gluconeogenesis. Thereby, they increase glucose concentration into the blood. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options (a), (c), (d), and (e) are incorrect.

Conclusion

CRH raises the concentration of ACTH, cortisol, corticosterone, and glucose in the blood, but not thyroxine.

You have been hired as a public relations specialist to give invertebrates a good name. After all, they are much more than just creepy crawly bugs! Your first task though is to convince yourself that is true. The best way to do that is to start close to home. Find something in your house that is a product obtained directly from an invertebrate or only due to an invertebrate’s actions. Describe the product, its function and utility, as well as any human manufactured alternatives. Be sure to highlight the advantages of obtaining this directly from nature. Keep in mind, a product can be something you use, wear, eat, or enjoy for its visual appeal.
