Hypophysis (96-104)

Question 1

Aldenohypophysis

Answer 1

The portion of the hypophysis that produced trophormones

Question 2

Gonadotropins or gonadotrophins

Answer 2

Hormones that regulate reproductive functions and the production of sexual hormones

Question 3

Hypophysiotropic area

Answer 3

The region of the hypothalamus that regulates the function of the aldenohypophysis. Releasing and inhibiting factors (hormones) are produced here.

Question 4

Inhibiting hormones and factors

Answer 4

Hormones produced by the hypophysotopic area that regulate adenohypophysis functions.

Question 5

Releasing hormones and factors

Answer 5

Hormones or hormone-like compounds that facilitate adenohypophysis hormone production and release. Produced by the parvocellular region of the hypothalamus.

Question 6

Neurohemal organ

Answer 6

Organs of neuronal origin that stores hormones.

Question 7

Neurohypophysis

Answer 7

The portion of the hypophysis that stores hormones secreted by hypothalamic neurons. A neurohemal organ.

Question 8

Trop hormones

Answer 8

Pituitary (adenohypophysis) hormones that stimulate production and release of other hormones from other glands.

Question 9

Portal circulation

Answer 9

Capillaries in one organ are collected into larger vessels (veins), enter the other organ through a narrow entrance (port) and form a second capillary bed to release substances carried from the first organ.
