Anterior Pituitary Hormones Flashcards
Also called somatostatin, stimulates secretion of insulin-
like growth factors (IGFs) that
promote growth
Hypothalamus:
Growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH)
Thyroid hormones from the
thyroid gland
Hypothalamus hormone:
Thyrotropin releasing from the
Hormone (TRH)
Development of the mammary glands
Hypothalamus hormone:
prolactin releasing hormone (PRH)
Also called somatostatin, stimulates secretion of insulin-
like growth factors (IGFs) that
promote growth
Hormone released from Adenohypophysis:
Human Growth Hormone (hGH)
Thyroid hormones from the
thyroid gland
Hormone released rom Adenohypophysis:
Thyroid Stimulating hormone (TSH)
Development of the mammary glands
Hormone released from adenohypophysis:
prolactin (PRL)
Ovaries -development of oocytes
Testes-development of (GnRH) spermatozoa
Hypothalamus hormone:
Gonadotropic releasing hormone (GnRH)
Ovaries -development of oocytes
Testes-development of (GnRH) spermatozoa
Hormone released from Adenohypophysis:
Follicle Stimulating hormone (FSH)
Ovaries-ovulation
Testes-testosterone
Hypothalamus hormone:
Gonadotropic releasing hormone (GnRH)
Ovaries-ovulation
Testes-testosterone
Hormone released from Adenohypophysis:
Luteinizing hormone (LH)
Mineralocorticoid, glucocorticoid, and androgen
hormones from the adrenal
cortex
Hypothalamus hormone:
Corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH)
Mineralocorticoid, glucocorticoid, and androgen
hormones from the adrenal
cortex
Hormone released from Adenohypophysis:
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH)
Melanin by melanocytes in skin and hair. MSH signals to the brain have effects on appetite and sexual arousal
Hypothalamus hormone:
Corticotropin releasing hormone
(CRH)
Melanin by melanocytes in skin and hair. MSH signals to the brain have effects on appetite and sexual arousal
Hormone released from adenohypophysis:
Melanocyte Stimulating hormone (MSH)
