within a negative feedback system the target organ effects
inhibit further hormone release
formed largely by cubiodal or squamous epithelial cells & produce glycoprotein thyrogolubulin
follicle cells
compared with other organs of the body the endocrine glands are
small & unimpressive
receptors for ACTH are normally found on certain cell of
adrenal cortex
endocrine glands released their hormones into
surrounding tissue fluid
reproduction; growth & development; maintenance of electrolyte, water, & nutrient balance of blood; regulation of cellular metabolism & energy balance; & mobilization of body defenses
major processes controlled & integrated by endocrine system
endocrine system influences __ activity by means of hormones
metabolic
rising levels of glucocorticoids feed back and __ secretion of CRH & ACTH release
