Hormones

Question 1

Growth hormone (GH)

Answer 1

GHRH stimulates somatotroph cells in anterior pituitary to release GH, which stimulates chondrocytes in bone growth and uptake of amino acids

Question 2

Thyrotrophin (TSH)

Answer 2

TRH stimulates Thyrotroph cells in anterior pituitary to release TSH, which stimulates thyroid follicles to make thyroid hormones

Question 3

Adrenocorticotrophin (ACTH)

Answer 3

CRH stimulates corticotroph cells in anterior pituitary to release ACTH which stimulates cortisol release from adrenal cortex

Question 4

Follicle Stimulating Hormone

FSH

Answer 4

GnRH stimulates Gonandotroph cells in anterior pituitary to release FSH, which Stimulates the ovarian follicular cells to make estrogens and progestins in females
Stimulates sertoli cells in initiate spermatogenesis in males

Question 5

Luteinizing Hormone

LH

Answer 5

GnRH stimulates Gonandotroph cells in anterior pituitary to release LH, which Causes the Leydig cells to make testosterone

Question 6

Prolactin (PRL)

Answer 6

Released from anterior pituitary glands, stimulates mammary glands to start lactation
Inhibited by Dopamine

Question 7
