Question 2

GHRH

Answer 2

Grown Hormone Releasing Hormone
stimulates the release of GH from the pituitary gland

Question 3

TRH

Answer 3

Thyrotropin
stimulates the release of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) from the pituitary gland

Question 4

CRH

Answer 4

Corticotropin releasing hormone
stimulates the release of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) from the pituitary gland

Question 5

PRH

Answer 5

Proactin releasing hormone
stimulates the release of prolactin from the anterior pituitary gland

Question 6

GnRH

Answer 6

Gonadotropin releasing hormone
stimulates the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) from the pituitary gland

Question 7

GHIH

Answer 7

Growth hormone inhibiting hormone (also known as somatostatin)
Prevents pituitary gland from releasing GH
limits release of TSH from pituitary gland

Question 8

PIH

Answer 8

Prolactin inhibiting hormone (also known as dopamine)
prevents anterior pituitary gland from releasing prolactin

Question 9

Answer 9

hGH, TSH, FSH, LH, PRL, ACTH

Question 10

hGH

Answer 10

Human growth hormone
promotes growth of body tissues, activates pituitary gland

Question 11

TSH

Answer 12

Follicle stimulating hormone
stimulates gamete production in gonads, activates gonads

Question 13

LH

Answer 13

Luteinizing hormone
stimulates androgen production by gonads, activates gonads

Question 14

PRL

Answer 14

Prolactin
promotes milk production from mammary glands, activates mammary glands

Question 15

ACTH

Answer 15

adrenocorticotropic hormone
