Question

Rate of hormone synthesis and secretion depends
upon
(a) Functional efficiency of the feedback system
(b) Amount of excitation in target tissue
(c) Degree of inhibition caused
(d) Functional state of the tissue/organ​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Functional efficiency of the feedback system

Answer 2

• Hormones are the chemical messenger that is released in minute quantities directly in the blood.
• They act on various body functions and processes.
• Some of the examples of hormones are; insulin, FSH, LH, testosterone, estrogen, oxytocin, etc.
• The rate of hormone synthesis and secretion is linked to the feedback control mechanism.
• An increase and decrease in the circulating level of hormones trigger an opposite response to the secretion by the concerned gland.

Hence, the correct option is (a) the functional efficiency of the feedback system.
