When describing to a newly diagnosed diabetic client how insulin is regulated, the nurse will draw upon her knowledge of which hormonal regulation mechanism?
A) Basal metabolic rate
B) The hypothalamic–pituitary–target cell system
C) The cytokine–interleukin regulatory mechanism
D) The angiotensin I to angiotensin II to aldosterone system
Ans: B
Feedback:
The hypophysis (pituitary plus hypothalamus) and hypothalamus stimulatory hormones regulate the release and synthesis of anterior pituitary hormones. The levels of hormones such as insulin and antidiuretic hormone (ADH) are regulated by feedback mechanisms that monitor substances such as glucose (insulin) and water (ADH) in the body. The levels of many of the hormones are regulated by feedback mechanisms that involve the hypothalamic–pituitary–target cell system.
