Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Target organs most often regulate the pituitary gland via negative feedback inhibition, which means that when hormone levels in the body are high, they send signals to the pituitary gland to stop producing or releasing certain hormones. This helps to maintain a balance of hormones in the body. Positive feedback inhibition, up-regulation, down-regulation, and antagonistic regulation may also occur, but negative feedback inhibition is the most common mechanism of regulation.
