Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) release is controlled by CRH (corticotropin-releasing hormone) from the hypothalamus, which then stimulates the release of cortisol from the adrenal cortex.

Answer: D
 Cortisol is released in response to ACTH, which is controlled by CRH. Cortisol is a stress hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels, immune function, and inflammation, among other functions.

Answer: J
 Thyroid hormone is released in response to thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) from the pituitary gland, which is in turn regulated by thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) from the hypothalamus. Thyroid hormone plays a role in metabolism, growth, and development.

Answer: I
 Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is released from the parathyroid glands in response to low calcium levels in the blood. PTH acts to increase calcium levels by promoting the release of calcium from bones, increasing absorption of calcium from the intestines, and reducing calcium excretion by the kidneys.

Answer: H
 Insulin is produced and released by the pancreas in response to high blood sugar levels. It acts to lower blood sugar levels by promoting the uptake and storage of glucose in cells, particularly in the liver, muscle, and fat tissue.
