Questions and Answers

What is the primary function of trophic hormones?

  • To stimulate other endocrine glands to produce their specific hormones (correct)
  • To control the negative feedback system of hormone production
  • To directly affect the target endocrine glands
  • To regulate the release of hormones from the anterior pituitary gland
  • How does the hypothalamus regulate trophic hormone production?

  • Through the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)
  • By controlling the release of hormones from the anterior pituitary gland (correct)
  • Directly through the release of trophic hormones
  • By inhibiting the negative feedback system of trophic hormone production
  • What is the role of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) in the regulation of gonadal hormones?

  • GnRH has no direct role in the regulation of gonadal hormone production
  • GnRH inhibits the production of gonadal hormones
  • GnRH directly stimulates the production of gonadal hormones
  • GnRH released by the hypothalamus stimulates the anterior pituitary to release gonadotropic hormones (correct)
