Which is NOT an accurate pairing of an excretory function with its definition? Reabsorption is the process where toxins, drugs, and excessive ions that remain in the blood after filtration are transported into the nephron for disposal in the urine. Excretion moves urine, the processed filtrate, out of the kidney, through the ureter, the bladder, and finally out of the body via the urethra. Secretion transports certain toxins, drugs, and excessive ions from the capillaries to the filtrate. Filtration happens when blood pressure forces water, nitrogenous waste, and valuable solutes from the blood into Bowman's capsule of the nephron.

Reabsorption is the process where toxins, drugs, and excessive ions that remain in the blood after filtration are transported into the nephron for disposal in the urine.

Hormones produced by the ____ help coordinate the release of pancreatic enzymes.

How does the hypothalamus control the secretion of growth hormone (GH) from the anterior pituitary? The hypothalamus produces a releasing hormone that stimulates the anterior pituitary to secrete GH. The hypothalamus sends a hormone to the target cells that makes them receptive to GH. Feedback from the target cells is sent to the posterior pituitary, which signals the hypothalamus to stimulate the anterior pituitary. The hypothalamus stimulates an action potential in the posterior pituitary, which then sends a releasing hormone to the anterior pituitary.

The hypothalamus produces a releasing hormone that stimulates the anterior pituitary to secrete GH.
