A patient is scheduled for an exploratory surgery for cancer. What will cause the release of adrenocorticotropic hormone in response to this patient's psychological and physiological stress?
A) Growth hormone release–inhibiting hormone (Somatostatin)
B) Corticotropin-releasing hormone or factor (CRH or CRF)
C) Growth hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH)
D) Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH)
B
Feedback:
Corticotropin-releasing hormone or factor (CRH or CRF) causes release of corticotropin (adrenocorticotropic hormone) in response to stress and threatening stimuli. Growth hormone release–inhibiting hormone (somatostatin) inhibits release of growth hormone. Growth hormone–releasing hormone causes the release of growth hormone in response to low blood levels of GH. Thyrotropin-releasing hormone causes the release of TSH in response to stress, such as cold.
