Cells of both types release hormones into the interstitial spaces from where they are transported by diffusion or vesicular transport (cytopempsis) into the blood capillaries.

by some of the conventional neurotransmitters in pituitary function, particularly in the human, it is widely recognized that these neurons, and probably many other more distant ones, regulate the secretion and/or synthesis of hypothalamic hormones which release or inhibit the secretion of allanterior ...

(the adrenal cortex), tends to restore to normal the level of glucocorticoids in the bloodstream. The release of ACTH can also be influenced by the level of circulatingepinephrine(adrenaline), which is not surprising in view of the close functional relationship between the hormones of the adrenal...
The pituitary hormone that triggers the release of thyroid hormone from the thyroid gland is: A) FSH. B) LH. C) GH. D) ACTH. E) TSH. Thyroid gland: a) Humoral stimulus b) Neural stimulus c) Hormonal stimulus The hormone cortisol is produced ...
The stimuli from a receptive female and/or copulation itself leads to the release of dopamine (DA) in at least three integrative hubs. The nigrostriatal system promotes somatomotor activity; the mesolimbic system subserves numerous types of motivation; and the medial preoptic area (MPOA) focuses th...
as it is only emitted by females, while the partner recognition mechanisms work reciprocally for both sexes. On the basis of the results of the present study, we conclude that the signal evolved as an anti-aphrodisiac. Because breeding females release methyl geranate at a certain point of thei...
The fact that the intracellular hormone content ofTetrahymenacould be regulated by external hormonal stimuli might predict that the cells could respond to this kind of stimulation by secreting these endogenous substances. The intracellular hormones investigated in our experiment are known to have significan...
A lesion of the hypothalamus or the pituitary gland may produce an abnormal GH response to these stimuli. The use of GHRH to stimulate GH release directly from the somatotrophs allows a theoretical distinction to be made between patients with a pituitary abnormality, who will have an abno...
An anomalousGHresponse to TRH has been reported, but until placebo controls are employed it will remain possible that such GH release as has been reported was due to spontaneous pulsatility. View chapterExplore book Sleep Disorders in the Elderly ...
