Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cold environmental temperatures stimulate the hypothalamus to secrete thyrotropin-releasing hormone,which in turn stimulates the anterior pituitary gland to secrete thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).TSH then stimulates the thyroid gland to secrete thyroid hormones,which,when bound to target tissues,increase the rate of metabolism to maintain body temperature near normal.The other situations would not lead to an increase in thyroid hormone production.
