Question

Which hormone secretion is under nervous control

Adrenal cortex

Anterior pituitary

Posterior pituitary

Pineal

Answer 1

Endocrine Glands and their Associated Hormones

Endocrine Gland Associated Hormones Effect

Pituitary (Anterior) prolactin (PRL) promotes milk production

thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) stimulates thyroid hormone release

adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulates hormone release by adrenal cortex, glucocorticoids

Answer 2

A key example of a negative feedback system is the regulation of the thyroid hormone thyroxine, which regulates numerous key metabolic processes. Briefly, neurons in the hypothalamus secrete thyroid-releasing hormone that stimulate cells in the anterior pituitary to secrete thyroid-stimulating hormone.
