Answer 3

CRH is produced in the hypothalamus, and it stimulates the secretion of Adrenocorticotrophic Hormone (ACTH) from the Anterior Pituitary. Peptide Hormone.

Question 4

What does Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone do, where is it produced, and what kind of hormone is it?

Answer 4

GHRH is produced by the hypothalamus and it promotes the secretion of Growth Hormone (hGH) from the anterior pituitary gland. It is a peptide hormone.

Question 5

What does Somatostatin (aka Hrowth Hormone Inhibitory Hormone) do, where is it produced and what kind of hormone is it?

Answer 5

GHIH is produced by the hypothalamus, and it inhibits the release of hGH from the Anterior Pituitary. It is a peptide hormone.

Question 6

What does Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone do, where is it produced, and what kind of hormone is it?

Answer 6

GnRH is produced by the hypothalamus, and it stimulates the release of Luteinizing hormone and FSH from the anterior pituitary. It is a tropic hormone.

Question 7

What does Dopamine (Prolactin Inhibiting Factor) do, where is it produced, and what kind of hormone is it?

Answer 7

Inhibits release of prolactin from anterior pituitary, produced in the hypothalamus and it is classified as an amine hormone.

Question 8

What hormones are released by the Anterior Pituitary?

Answer 8

hGH
TSH
ACTH
Prolactin
FSH
Luteinizng Hormone

Question 9

What’s the function of hGH, where is it produced and what kind of hormone is it?

Answer 9

Stimulates growth in cells as well as protein synthesis, Released by the anterior pituitary, and it is a peptide hormone.

Question 10

What does TSH do, where is it produced and what kind of hormone is it?

Answer 10

TSH stimulates the thyroid to secrete T3 and T4, it is produced by the anterior pituitary, and it is a steroid hormone.

Question 11

What does ACTH do,where is it produced, and what kind of hormone is it?

Answer 11

Stimulates the adrenal CORTEX to synthesize and secrete adrenocortical hormones, it is produced in the anterior pituitary and it is a peptide hormone.

Question 12

What does Prolactin do, where is it produced, and what kind of hormone is it?

Answer 12

Prolactin stimulates development of milk in the breast, and it is produced by the anterior pituitary gland and it is a peptide hormone.

Question 13

What does FSH do, where is it produced, what kind of hormone is it?

Answer 13

Stimulates the growth of follicles in the ovaries and sperm maturation within the sertoli cells, released and produced by the anterior pituitary, peptide hormone.

Question 14

What does LH do, where is it produced, what hormone is it?

Answer 14

Stimulates testes to produce testosterone and stimulates ovulation, estrogen and progesterone in the ovaries, it is a peptide hormone, and it is produced by the anterior pituitary.

Question 15

What hormones are released from the posterior pituitary, but NOT produced there?

Answer 15

Antidieuretic Hormone (ADH) and Oxytocin. Both are produced by the hypothalamus and transported to the posterior pituitary.

Question 16

What does ADH do, what kind of hormone is it and where is it produced?

Answer 16

Stimulates kidney to increase water reabsorption and causes vasoconstriction to increase bp. It is a peptide hormone, and it is Produced by hypothalamus, but released by posterior pituitary.

Question 17

What does Oxytocin do, what kind of hormone is it and where is it produced?

Answer 17

Stimulates milk ejection and uterine contractions. Produced by hypo. released by PP. It is a peptide hormone.

Question 18

What hormones are produced by the thyroid, what do they do, what kind of hormone are they?

Answer 18

T4- Thyroxine
T3- Tri-iodothyronine
Both function to increase reates of chemical rxn in cells increasing catabolic and anabolic metabolism.
Both are amine hormones derived from tyrosine.

Question 19

What does cortisol do, where is it made, what kind of hormone is it?

Answer 19

Cortisol: controls metabolism of proteins, carbs, and fats and anti inflammatory effects, steroid hormones, made in adrenal cortex

Question 20

What hormones are produced in the adrenal medulla, what do they do?

Answer 20

Norepinephrine and epinephrine

both effect the sympathetic nervous system, both are amine hormones

Question 21

What does aldosterone do, produced, class hormone?

Answer 21

Aldosterone: Stimulates kidney to retain sodium, secrete potassium and hydrogen produced in the adrenal cortex, Steroid hormone

Question 22

What does renin do, where is it produced, what kind of hormone?

Answer 22

Peptide hormone that catalyzes the conversion of angiotensinogen to its active form of angiotensin 1 it is produced by the kidney.

Question 23
