Question
Chapter 25, Problem 9SQ
Summary Introduction
To name: The glands that secrete each of the given hormones.
Concept introduction:
Endocrine system is part of maintenance of the homeostasis. The endocrine system is made of several organs that are ductless glands. They secrete ligands called hormones that travel through the blood stream to reach their target cells. The hypothalamus secretes several hormones that activate the pituitary glands. The pituitary glands in turn secrete hormones that activate other endocrine organs to secrete hormones for gene regulation of target cells.

The endocrine system is composed of glands that secrete hormones that regulate the activity of different body cells. The pituitary gland is often called the "master gland" because it controls the activities of other glands.
Discuss a disorder associated with either hypo or hypersecretion of a specific hormone secreted by the pituitary gland.
Include in your discussion the answer to the following:
What effect will an increase or decrease in production have on the target organs?What signs and symptoms are associated with this condition and how is it treated?
Which of the following combinations belongs to the five major classes of steroid hormone family?
