1. The three main patterns of hormone secretion are humoral, hormonal, and neural. These hormone secretions are responsible for managing different hormones. Below is a description of each stimulus.
• The humoral stimuli are responsible for managing the changes of the blood levels with non-hormone chemicals. For example, if the body was experiencing high levels of glucose, the humoral stimuli would trigger a hormone release from the pancreas known as insulin. Insulin’s job would be to bring the blood glucose levels back down.
• The main function of hormonal stimuli is to release hormones whenever stimulated by other hormones from the endocrine system, such as the hypothalamus. For example, the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland are known …show more content…
For example, the flight-in-fight response. If the body senses danger the neural stimuli will trigger hormone release of hormones norepinephrine and epinephrine from the adrenal glands.
2. As mentioned above, the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland are known as the command center of the endocrine system. The hypothalamus is responsible for releasing hormones that stimulate other hormones in the anterior pituitary gland. The hypothalamus and the pituitary The relationship, as explained above, between the hypothalamus and pituitary gland are able to communicate through releasing and inhibiting hormones that travel through the hypophyseal portal system. This serves as a bridge between the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland.
3. The Hydrophilic hormones are mostly amino acid-based peptides and proteins. They are soluble in water but not in lipids. They are unable to cross the cell membrane and require a transduction system to send signals across the cell membrane. Hydrophobic hormones are made up of mostly steroids and therefore are soluble in lipids, but not in water. They can also cross the cell membrane unlike hydrophilic
