Which hormone/s are secreted from the posterior pituitary?

[blank_start]Glucagon[blank_end] stimulates the conversion of glycogen to glucose ([blank_start]glycogenolysis[blank_end])

[blank_start]Insulin[blank_end] stimulates the conversion of glucose to glycogen and this is known as [blank_start]glycogenesis[blank_end]

Label the endocrine glands (do not put the word gland on the end)

The pineal gland secretes [blank_start]melatonin[blank_end] which is important in regulating [blank_start]sleep[blank_end] patterns

The hypothalamus secretes hormones to the anterior pituitary via the [blank_start]bloodstream[blank_end] and to the posterior pituitary via the [blank_start]nerve fibres[blank_end]

The adrenal [blank_start]medulla[blank_end] secretes [blank_start]adrenaline[blank_end] which reinforces the sympathetic response (fight-or-flight)
