Question
Answer
hypo thalamo hypo physial portal system   (like hepatic portal system) hypothalamus secretes "releasing hormones",  
🗑
  which travel in a capillary network to the anterior pituitary through hypophyseal portal veins, which pass downward along the pitutiary stalk and give rise to a capillary net in the anterior pituitary.  
🗑
hypo thalamic neurons secrete releasing hormones   (read page 611)  
🗑
the portal system carries   releasing hormones to the anterior pituitary  
🗑
is there a portal system to carry to the posterior pituitary   no, neurohormones  
🗑
pituitary gland   hypophysis - located at base of brain, where a pituitary stalk attaches to the the hypothalamus  
🗑
antidiuretic hormone is also called   vasopression; it constricts blood vessesl & raises blood pressure  
🗑
where are antidiuretic (ADH) hormones synthesized   neuron cell bodies in the supraoptic nuclei of the hypothalamus  
🗑
how are antidiuretic (ADH) hormones transported?   within the axons of the hypothalamohypophysial tract  
🗑
how does the body know when ADH hormones are needed?   stimuli integrated within the nervous system--osmoreceptors monitor blood osmolality & blood volume  
🗑
where are ADH molecules released?   they are release from axon terminals originating in the hypothalamus and carried to the kidneys  
🗑
what is the primary target tissue of antidiuretic hormone?   kidneys - specifically kidney tubules, which are the sites of urine production  
🗑
ADH molecules promote the __________ of _______ in the kidney tubules and reduce ___________   ADH molecules promote the retention of water in the kidney tubules and reduce urine volume  
🗑
