Anabolic hormones stimulate what? - Anabolism (building up) in target cells. Are hormones regulated by positive or negative feedback? - Negative feed back Are large or small amounts of hormones needed to get desired response? - Small amounts. Hormones are very potent and have long-lasting effects in target cells. Does the Posterior Pituitary release hormones? - No Does the thymus grow? - No. it appears smaller in adults than children because it does not change in size. Hormone action can ...
