For the following physiological events, identify the following components of homeostatic control Variable Stimulus Receptor Input Control center Output Effector Response Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) is a hormone regularly released by the hypothalamus. Once released, it then stimulates the anterior pituitary gland causing it to release thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). TSH then stimulates the thyroid gland to release the hormones T3 and T4. T3 and T4 have two main effects. First, they increase overall metabolism. Secondly, T3 and T4 can bind to these receptors on the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary, inhibiting the production of TRH and TSH respectively.

Over the past year, Julie has gradually gained weight. The increasein adipose tissue is distributed over her trunk, face, and neck, and hermuscle mass appears to be decreased. Julie also feels weak and bruiseseasily. Her physician suspects Cushing syndrome and orders a seriesof blood tests. The results reveal elevated blood levels of cortisol andACTH. There is no evidence of an extrapituitary source of ACTH.Predict the cause of Julie’s condition and the treatments that are likelyto be recommended
