Question 1

Growth hormone secretion can be prompted by the release of the hormone _______ from the stomach.

Accepted Answer

ghrelin

Question 2

Describe, in general terms, the ways in which negative feedback controls hormone levels using hypothetical hypothalamic-pituitary-target cell hormones X,Y, and Z, respectively.

Accepted Answer

Negative feedback is a regulatory mechanism that helps maintain hormone levels within a certain range in the body. In the hypothetical scenario involving hormones X, Y, and Z, negative feedback would work as follows:

1. Hormone X is released from the hypothalamus and stimulates the pituitary gland to release hormone Y.

2. Hormone Y then acts on its target cells to stimulate the release of hormone Z.

3. Once hormone Z reaches a certain level in the bloodstream, it signals back to the hypothalamus and pituitary gland to decrease the release of hormones X and Y.

4. This decrease in hormone X and Y production then leads to a decrease in hormone Z production, thus maintaining hormone levels within a specific range.

In this way, negative feedback helps to prevent hormone levels from becoming too high or too low, ensuring that the body's physiological processes remain balanced.
