What is the most important stimulus of epiphyseal plate activity during infancy and childhood?
growth hormone
Adrenal gland activity is evaluated by the plasma level of what hormone?
Adrenal gland activity is evaluated by the plasma level of cortisol hormone.
What type of stimulis is it when endocrine organs are prodded into action by other hormones?
This type of stimulus is called hormonal stimulation. It occurs when one hormone signals another endocrine gland to release its own hormone to regulate physiological processes in the body.
What hormone stimulates activity in the ovaries?
There are many hormones which stimulate activity in the ovaries.The two main ones are FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone). FSH triggers the growth of an ovum, and LH is involved in causing ovulation (the release of the ovum/egg).
What is the stimulus that causes growth hormone to be released?
Growth hormone is primarily released in response to low blood glucose levels, stress, exercise, sleep, and certain amino acids. Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) from the hypothalamus stimulates the pituitary gland to release growth hormone in response to these stimuli.
What is the most important stimulus of epiphyseal plate activity during infancy and childhood?
growth hormone
What hormone prevent epiphyseal plate from calcifying?
human growth hormone
Will a deficiency of growth hormone cause a decrease proliferation of the epiphyseal plate cartilage?
growth hormone
Why epiphyseal closes early?
estrogen directly causes the epiphyseal plates to close, testosterone is converted to estradiol (estrogen) by aromatase, therefore testosterone causes the epiphyseal plates to close indirectly
What will a deficiency in growth hormone cause?
In bone formation, a deficiency of growth hormone will cause DECREASED PROLIFERATION OF THE EPIPHYSEAL PLATE CARTILAGE.
Which of these is a humoral stimulus for hormone release?
calcium
What is the stimulus for insulin?
Actions of Growth Hormone.
What hormone acts as a stimulus for erythropoiesis?
erythropoietin
Which hormone is specifically responsible for terminating growth at the epiphyseal plate in both men and women as they end adolescence?
The hormone responsible for terminating growth at the epiphyseal plate in both men and women as they end adolescence is estrogen. Estrogen plays a key role in promoting the closure of the growth plates, leading to the cessation of longitudinal bone growth.
Is masturabation a hormone?
No, it is an activity.
What hormone has a decrease in plasma calcium is the stimulus for its release?
The Parathyroid hormone has a decrease in plasma calcium. It uses a Pentagastrin as stimulation for its release.
What hormone stimulates the elongation of the long bones of the body?
Growth hormone, also known as somatotropin, stimulates the elongation of long bones in the body by promoting cell division and differentiation in the epiphyseal plates of bones.
