Norepinephrine is a hormone that is released into the blood when the adrenal gland is stimulated by the sympathetic preganglionic neurons. What type of signaling effect does this represent?
A. endocrine
B. paracrine
C. synaptic
D. direct contact
The endocrine gland produces hormones which produce target
effect on target organs.
Endocrine glands release hormones directly into the
bloodstream.
The adrenal gland produces norepinephrine when stimulated by
sympathetic preganglionic neurons.
Option A is correct

Each adrenal gland consists of two parts, the adrenal cortex and the adrenal medulla. Determine which statements apply to the adrenal cortex, and which statements apply to the adrenal medulla.. Adrenal cortex Adrenal medulla stimulated by adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) released from the anterior pituitary gland in response to stress mediates the body's long-term response to stress involving immune system suppression stimulated by acetylcholine (ACh) released by the sympathetic nervous system in response to stress releases mineralocorticoids, such as aldosterone, and...
Classify the following statements regarding inputs that control hormone secretion as being either true or false. False Only a single type of input can control secretion of a hormone from an endocrine cell. Both parasympathetic and sympathetic inputs to most endocrine glands may occur, some inhibitory and some stimulatory All hormones released from the anterior pituitary can be classified as tropic. All hormones released from the hypothalamus into the hypothalamo- hypophyseal portal system can be classified as tropic The adrenal...

A hormone is known to cause smooth muscle relaxation in blood vessels. However, it also causes contraction of cardiac muscle. What statement below would be true of this hormone? A. it acts through paracrine signalling in the heart, but the blood vessels undergo endocrine signalling B. the blood vessels have a different receptor for this hormone than the heart does C. the heart is a target cell of this hormone, but not the blood vessels D. this is not possible...
Testosterone production in human males(s ) is best described by which statement? a. hormones synthesized by the adrenal medulla are primarily androgens b production by the adrenal gland cortex is very low, as compared to sex hormone release from the gonads during and after late puberty С. inhibit on (of secretion) is highly dependent on a positive feedback loop in olving ACTH. d. the posterior pituitary gland secretes ADH that regulates the testes and testosterone e. both a and c...
