Solution
Erythropoietin is a hormone for the production of red blood cells and it is the hormone produced in kidneys. It stimulates the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells that increases the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood.
2.Epinephrine binds to muscarinic receptors in MEROCRINE SWEAT GLANDS tissue to cause increased secretion of sweat.
Merocrine sweat glands cools surface of the skin and reduces the body temperature, secreation activity is regulated by neural and hormonal mechanisms.
3.Hyperglycemia stimulates PANCREATIC ISLETS to secrete insulin.
Insulin is a peptide hormone produced from beta cells of pancreatic islets, it regulates the mechanism of carbohydrates, proteins, fats.
4. Insulin stimulates the ADIPOSE tissue to convert glucose to triglycerides.
Adipose tissue is a loose connective tissue that contains the adipocytes and these store the energy in the form of lipids.
5. Epinephrine stimulates the beta receptors of the CARDIAC tissue producing cAMP production and calcium permeability.
Beta1 receptors increases the heart rate and contractility as a result increased intracellular calcium concentrations is observed.
6. Parathyroid hormone stimulates BONE tissue to release calcium.
Osteoclasts break down the tissue in bones and release the minerals resulting in the transfer of calcium from bone tissue to blood.
7.Follicle stimulating hormone stimulates the production of sperm in seminiferous tubules.
Follicle stimulating hormone is a gonadotropin secreted from gonadotropic cells of anterior pituitary gland.
8. Growth hormone stimulates chondroblasts and hyperplasis in the HYALINE CARTILAGE tissue and ossification of matrix
Hyaline cartilage contains no nerves or blood vessels and translucent cartilage.
9. Growth hormone stimulates the skeletal muscle tissue to hypertrophy in response to mechanical trauma.
Skeletal muscle is a highly plastic tissue that has ability to adapt to alterations in neuromuscular activity.
