26
Hormone release caused by another hormone (a tropic hormone)
hormonal stimulus
27
Low Ca2+ in blood is a _________ stimulus
humoral
28

neural
29
Hormones from hypothalamus is a _____________ stimulus and the response is the anterior pituitary gland secreted H that stimulate other endocrine glands to secrete H
hormonal
30
When high levels of thyroid hormones (T4, T3) inhibit the secretion of TSH and TRH the name for this type of hormone regulation is called
negative feedback loop (pathway)
31
Negative feedback loop for increased levels of cortisol in blood - elevated levels of cortisol leads to the __________ of the release of both hypothalamic hormone ______ and pituitary hormone _______
- suppression; CRH; ACTH
32
_________ __________: the receptor for one hormone will NOT bind other hormones. Each hormone has a specific molecular structure that allows it to bind to a particular type of receptor (lock and key)
hormone specificity
33
_____________: condition in which all the receptor molecules are occupied by hormone molecules- adding more hormone CANNOT produce any greater effect once this is reached
saturation
34
__________ ____________: refers to the removal or elimination of hormones from the bloodstream effectively reducing their concentration
hormone clearance
35

36
Target cells can adjust their sensitivity to a hormone by changing the number of _____________ for it
