APHY102 FINAL EXAM SG What regulates pituitary gland secretion? The Hypothalamus What is a hormone and how does it act? A hormone is a molecule secreted into the bloodstream. They act on target cells that have specific receptors for that hormone. Compare and contrast glucagon and insulin. Compare: Both insulin and glucagon are proteins that stimulate the liver and also convert noncarbohydrates into glucose. Contrast: Glucagon stimulates the liver to break down glycogen into gluc...
