Control of Hormone Secretion Quiz

Hypothalamic-Pituitary Axis = Communication pathway between the pituitary gland and hypothalamus Master Glands = Another name for the pituitary gland as it regulates hormone production from other endocrine organs Releasing Hormones = Controls the production of hormones from the pituitary gland, secreted by the hypothalamus Peptides and Proteins = Synthesized and stored within the cell in secretory granules, producing effects on the outer surface of cells

Peptides and Protein = Includes Glycoproteins and Polypeptides Steroids = Hormones classified under this category Amines = Hormones that fall under this classification Synthesis of Peptides and Proteins = Stored within the cell in secretory granules and cleaved as needed

Regulation of Endocrine Functions = Primarily controlled through the pituitary gland, regulated by secretions from the hypothalamus Feedback Mechanism = May control hormone production from the hypothalamus by regulating pituitary gland production Effect on Cell Membrane = Peptides and proteins cannot cross due to their large molecular size, acting on cell surfaces Control of Pituitary Gland Hormones = Hypothalamus controls the production of hormones from this gland through releasing hormones
