Choose the example that does not demonstrate a negative feedback loop of hormonal control
- A hormone that increases blood pressure is released. Baroreceptors in the arteries sense the
pressure change and stimulate the brainstem to send signals to dilate blood vessels and counter the
effect, decreasing blood pressure.
- A gland releases hormone that causes free blood glucose to be collected and stored after a meal.
After a time, the gland detects low free blood glucose and ceases production of the hormone.
- Pressure receptors sense the movement of a baby against and through the cervix during labor. They
stimulate the hypothalamus to release a hormone that causes uterine contractions. This causes more
pressure receptor stimulation, leading to larger releases of the hormone and stronger, more frequent
contractions. Hormone release ceases after pressure sensations cease.
