Question

When she was young, a woman suffered a head injury that damaged her pituitary. An injury to the pituitary is particularly serious because of all the functions controlled by this gland. As this person got older, she and her doctors found that all of the following except her _____ was affected.

Answer 1

Only the activity of her pancreas will not be affected

Step-by-step explanation:

Pituitary releases trophic hormones that control the activity of all other endocrine glands except the endocrine pancreas.

Pitutary secretes Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), Arenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH),Follicle stimulating hormone(FSH), gonadotrophin etc. that regulate the functioning of thyroid gland, adrenal gland, follicles ,Gonads etc.

Pancreas is not controlled by any hormone from the pituitary so the secretions of insulin and glucagon will not change . Hence, in the person no effect will be seen in blood sugar level.
