What hormones do not have a target organ to produce hormones and cannot be regulated by the same feedback as other hormones?
A) Growth hormone and prolactin
B) Estrogen and progesterone
C) Erythropoietin and renin
D) Insulin and glucagon
A
Feedback:
Two of the anterior pituitary hormones (i.e., growth hormone and prolactin) do not have a target organ to produce hormones and so cannot be regulated by the same type of feedback mechanism. Estrogen and progesterone have the uterus, ovaries, and breast, as their target organs. The target organs for erythropoietin is the bone marrow, for renin it is the arteries, and insulin and glucagon come from the pancreas to stimulate cells to metabolize glucose and regulate serum glucose levels
