A, C, D
Feedback:
Hormones other than stimulating hormones are also released in response to stimuli. For example, the endocrine pancreas produces and releases insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin from different cells in response to varying blood glucose levels. ADH does not respond to blood glucose levels but controls sodium and potassium levels. Amylase is an enzyme released by the pancreas.
