APHY 102 FINAL- IVY TECH SUMMER EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS What regulates pituitary gland secretion? The pituitary gland is directly connected to the hypothalamus. Secretion from the 2 lobes of the pituitary gland is controlled by different methods by the hypothalamus What is a hormone and how does it act? Hormones are chemical messengers that are responsible for regulation. They are secreted into body fluids, mainly blood. It has specific actions on target tissues, which are any tissue ...

Who regulates pituitary gland secretion? - ANS hypothalamus What is a hormone and how does it act? - ANS Hormones are chemical messengers that are responsible for regulation. They are secreted into body fluids, mainly blood. It has specific actions on target tissues, which are any tissue that has specific receptors for that particular hormone. Compare and contrast glucagon and insulin. - ANS Glucagon stimulates the liver to break down glycogen and convert noncarbohydrates into glu...

Endocrine System → ~:- System composed of various glands that can synthesize and release special chemical messengers called hormones. → System works closely with the Nervous System and the Immune system to regulate and integrate body functions. Functions: Growth and development Sexual differentiation Metabolism Adaptation to an ever-changing environment Regulation of digestion Use and storage of nutrients Electrolyte and water metabolism Reproductive functions 1 | P a g e |...
