ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) BIOLOGY: Endocrine System 60 Questions Correctly Answered | 100% Rated Question 1 Growth hormone (GH) stimulates the growth of bone and other tissues in the human body. The hypothalamus is very important in the release of GH through the release of growth-hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), which causes release of GH from another endocrine gland. From which endocrine gland is growth hormone (GH) released? Possible Answers: Pancreas Posterior pituitary Thyroid...

Decreased serum thyroxine. C. Elevated serum aldosterone levels. D. Low urinary catecholamines excretion. - A - Increased secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) by the anterior pituitary gland will lead to an increase in serum and urinary cortisol levels.
