Regulation Of Metabolic Rate Flashcards
What is the modulator if the metabolic rate is lowered?
In response to TSH releasing factors the anterior pituitary secretes TSH.
If the metabolic rate is lowered what is the receptor?
The hypothalamus detects metabolic rate. Secretes TSH releasing factors to the anterior pituitary.
What is the effector in the control of the metabolic rate when the metabolic rate has been lowered?
The thyroid gland detects TSH and secretes thyroxine.
What is the response increased thyroxine causes?
Thyroxine causes most body cells to increase cellular respiration.
When the metabolic rate increases the receptor is?
The hypothalamus detecting metabolic rate & secreting less TSH releasing factors to the anterior pituitary.
What is the modulator if the metabolic rate increases?
In response to TSH releasing factors the anterior pituitary secretes less TSH.
What is the effector in the feedback loop for a increased metabolism?
The thyroid gland detects lower TSH and secretes less thyroxine.
What does lower Thyroxin cause when an increased metabolic rate occurs?
Lower thyroxin causes most body cells to decrease cellular respiration.
