Functioning as protein secretors, the T thyrocytes, therefore, have abundant ________.

The release of oxytocin during labor and delivery, which causes smooth muscle contractions in the uterus and causes further oxytocin release, is an example of hormone regulation through ________.

Produced by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland, the hormone called ________ stimulates cell growth and replication by accelerating the rate of protein synthesis.

Parathyroid hormone stimulates calcitriol synthesis in the kidney and is therefore a tropic hormone.
