question 34
which of the following releases hormones but does not produce the hormones that are released? the anterior pituitary
posterior pituitary
adrenal cortex
hypothalamus
all of the above
question 35
what is an action of insulin at liver cells?
the conversion of glucose to glycogen
lipogenesis
gluconeogenesis
glycogenolysis
For Question 34: The posterior pituitary releases hormones (oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone) that are produced by the hypothalamus. The anterior pituitary produces its own hormones. The adrenal cortex produces and releases its own steroid - hormones. The hypothalamus both produces and releases releasing and inhibiting hormones.
For Question 35: Insulin promotes the conversion of glucose to glycogen (glycogenesis) in liver cells to lower blood - glucose levels. Lipogenesis is the synthesis of fatty acids and triglycerides, which is not the main action of insulin at liver cells in terms of glucose regulation. Gluconeogenesis is the production of glucose from non - carbohydrate sources and is inhibited by insulin. Glycogenolysis is the breakdown of glycogen to glucose and is also inhibited by insulin.
