Answer:

(D). oxytocin.

Explanation:

The hypothalamic-pituitary axis can be defined a pathway that plays a central role in regulation of various endocrine glands. Hormones released from hypothalamus stimulates pituitary gland, which in turns secrete pituitary hormones to regulate release of hormones from other endocrine glands.  

Regulation of growth hormone (somatotropin), cortisol (adrenal hormone), prolactin, and T3 (thyroid hormone) is done by hypothalamic-pituitary axis.

Oxytocin is a peptide hormone, which is synthesized by hypothalamus and secreted by posterior pituitary gland. However, level of oxytocin is regulated by positive feedback in loop, in which hormone itself regulates its release and does not involves regulation by hypothalamic-pituitary axis.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

nexus9112 [7]

<u>Amygdala</u>

The neural center in the limbic system that plays a central role in emotions such as aggression and fear is <u>amygdala.</u>

<h3>Amygdala</h3>
  • The name "amygdala" relates to the structure's almond-like form.
  • The left and right amygdalae, which are situated immediately adjacent to the hippocampus, are crucial to how we react emotionally, including how we feel pleasure, fear, anxiety, and anger.
<h3>What is the limbic system?</h3>
  • The limbic system is the area of the brain that controls human behavior and emotions, especially when it comes to behaviors like feeding, reproducing, and raising offspring as well as fight-or-flight reactions.
  • The limbic system's components are hidden deep inside the brain, above the brainstem and below the cerebral cortex.
  • The hippocampus and the amygdala are two of the limbic system's key components, along with the thalamus, hypothalamus (which produces vital hormones and regulates appetite, thirst, mood, etc.), and basal ganglia (which processes rewards, forms habits, moves, and learns).

miv72 [106K]

Answer: True

Explanation:

The corticospinal tract can be defined as the white matter motor pathway that starts with the cerebral cortex and terminates at the lower motor neuron of the spinal cord. This controls the movement of the trunk and limbs.

If the corticospinal tract is affected at any level above the medulla the voluntary control over the movements will be affected on the contra-lateral side of the body.
