Question

Exercise plays a part in affecting the release of hormones. How would you expect exercise to affect growth hormone and hormones from the adrenal medulla? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

Exercise plays a significant role in affecting hormonal discharge inside a human body.

Explanation:

Hormones are the chemical substances that are a part of the body's signaling systems. Deem them as little traffic cops! They regulate things like growth, metabolism, and reproduction in human bodies.

Human Growth Hormone

What is it: Anabolic peptide hormone that incites cellular growth, secreted by the anterior pituitary gland.

Its job: Increases muscle protein synthesis for the growth of muscles, increases mineralization of the bones, supports the immune system, and promotes lipolysis.

How exercise affects it: Our bodies produce it periodically on its own. However, some exercises, such as high-intensity workouts that involve heavy strength training and cardio-respiratory exercise, stimulate and increase its production at the onset of blood lactate.

Epinephrine and Norepinephrine (Adrenal Medulla Hormones):

What is it: Amine hormones help in the sympathetic nervous system produced by the adrenal gland.

Its job: Facilitates sympathetic (fight or flight) activity, increases heart activity, increases glycogen catabolism, and fat release.

How exercise affects it: Their stimulation increases during cardiovascular exercise to promote the breakdown of glycogen to provide energy to muscles.
