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).

Agonists bind to ________ and antagonists bind to ________

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Agonists bind to cell receptors and antagonists also bind to cell receptors.

<h3>What are agonists?</h3>

An agonist is any substance that is similar to a neurotransmitter and therefore these molecules have strong effects on a particular signaling pathway.

An antagonist is another class of molecules that oppose the effects of the agonist by inhibiting its mechanism of action and therefore these substances also need to bind receptors.

In conclusion, agonists bind to cell receptors and antagonists also bind to cell receptors.

The spores of the bacteria is very hard, resistant protective structures, which is generally dormant in nature. Any adverse environmental conditions such as heat triggers formation of spores by certain bacteria. This spore protect the entire bacteria from adverse condition, so that the bacteria may survive in heat or high temperature. The heat resistant bacteria often exhibit formation of spores.
