TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) is produced by (a) adrenal cortex (b) middle pituitary lobe (c) anterior pituitary lobe (d) posterior pituitary lobe.
When the concentration of thyroid hormone in the blood increases, it: a. inhibits TSH secretion by the pituitary. b. stimulates TRH secretion by the hypothalamus. c. stimulates the pituitary to secrete TRH. d. stimulates the pituitary to secrete TSH. e. activates a positive feedback loop.
The body is able to maintain a relatively constant level of thyroid hormone in the blood because a. thyroid hormone stimulates the pituitary to secrete thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). b. thyroid hormone inhibits the secretion of TSH-releasing hormone (TRH) from the hypothalamus. c. TRH inhibits the secretion of thyroid hormone by the thyroid gland. d. thyroid hormone stimulates the hypothalamus to secrete TRH.
