Chapter 39, Problem 4.4A
Summary Introduction
Introduction:The endocrine system can be defined as a network of glands present in the body which produce hormones. These are helpful in important body functions. Hormones led to the variations in cells by binding to receptors located on target cells. The number of receptors present on a target cell that can rise or drop in response to hormonal activity.

Neuroendocrine glands are glands that are made up of both nervous tissue and endocrine tissue. This means that they can be directly stimulated by the nervous system to produce or release hormones. The pituitary gland and parathyroid gland are examples.Describe a situation/example for each (pituitary gland and parathyroid gland) that demonstrates the function mentioned above. Be specific.
Select ALL the statements that are correct.
Growth hormone production is inhibited by somatostatin.
Growth hormone production is stimulated by the release of the tropic hormone GHRH in the hypothalamus.
Growth hormone production is inhibited by IGF-1 which is secreted by the liver.
Gigantism and acromegaly differ in that gigantism is due to oversecretion of GHRH, not GH.

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.
