Put the following events in order regarding hypothalamic control of the hormone

Question

Put the following events in order regarding hypothalamic control of the hormone secretion from the posterior pituitary gland. Rank the options below. In the posterior pituitary, action potentials cause the release of neurohormones from axon terminals Action potentials travel through axons from hypothalamic neurons through the hypothalamohypophysial tract Neurohormones pass through the circulatory system and affect target tissues. Nervous system stimuli causes the hypothalamic neurons to increase action p

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

1. Nervous system stimuli cause the hypothalamic neurons to increase action potential frequency.

2. Action potentials travel through axons from hypothalamic neurons through the hypothalamo-hypophyseal tract.

3. In the posterior pituitary, action potentials cause the release of neurohormones from axon terminals

4. Neurohormones pass through the circulatory system and affect target tissues.
