<span>An example of concentric contraction is doing a biceps curl. The curl exercise is targeting the biceps muscles on the front of the upper arm and only several muscles assist during the movement. Moreover, concentric muscle contraction is a type of muscle activation that increases the tension on a muscle as it shortens and this activation begins the process of muscle strengthening and hypertrophy. </span>
The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:
- estradiol; pituitary gland
-
testosterone; hypothalamus
-
leptin; hypothalamus
-
leptin; pituitary gland
Answer:
leptin; hypothalamus
Explanation:
Gonadotropin hormones are the peptide hormones released by the nerve cells of the hypothalamus which stimulates the anterior hormone to release the gonadotropins like the LH and FSH hormones.
The GnRH hormone is released when the leptin, a protein hormone secreted by the adipocytes stimulates the GnRH neurons of the hypothalamus to release the hormone in both males and females.
Thus, leptin; hypothalamus is the correct answer.
