Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chronic hormone secretion, as exemplified by thyroid hormones, remains relatively constant over long periods of time. This is in contrast to acute hormone secretion, which occurs in response to an immediate stimulus and resolves quickly, and episodic hormone secretion, which occurs in periodic bursts with intermittent periods of low secretion. Long-term hormone secretion is not a recognized pattern of hormone secretion.
