front 1 Anterior pituitary secretion | back 1 growth hormone thyroid stimulating hormone adrenocorticotropic hormone follicle stimulating hormone luteinizing hormone prolactin |
front 2 Growth hormone | back 2 small protein produced by somatotrophs, influences growth in almost all body tissues; physiological effects can be groped in metabolic and growth effects |
front 3 Thyroid stimulating hormone | back 3 stimulates production and secretion of thyroid hormone by thyroid gland; controlled by hypothalamus |
front 4 Adrenocorticotropic hormone | back 4 stimulates the adrenal cortex to release corticosteroids |
front 5 Follicle stimulating hormone | back 5 stimulates development of gametes in both sexes |
front 6 Luteinzing hormone | back 6 regulates function of ovary and testis including production of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone |
front 7 Prolactin | back 7 stimulates milk production by breasts; has effects on immune system in both sexes |
front 8 Secretion | back 8 controlled by releasing and inhibiting hormones from hypothalamus carries through the hypophyseal portal system |
front 9 Hypothalamus hormones | back 9 growth hormone-releasing hormone, growth hormone- inhibiting hormone, thyrotropin- releasing hormone, corticotropin- releasing hormone, gonadotropin- releasing hormone, prolactin- releasing hormone, prolactin- inhibiting hormone |
front 10 Growth hormone: releasing hormone | back 10 causes the anterior pituitary to releases growth hormone |
front 11 Growth hormone: inhibiting hormone production | back 11 causes the anterior pituitary to decreases release of growth hormone |
front 12 Thyrotropin- releasing hormone | back 12 causes anterior pituitary to relese thyroid stimulating hormone |
front 13 Corticotropin-releasing hormone | back 13 causes anterior pituitary to produce adrenocorticotropic hormone |
front 14 Gonadotropin-releasing hormone | back 14 causes anterior pituitary to produce follicle stimulating hormone and luteinzing hormone |
front 15 Prolactin-releasing hormone | back 15 causes the anterior pituitary to release prolactin |
front 16 Prolactin-inhibiting hormone | back 16 causes the anterior pituitary to decrease release of prolactin |
front 17 Somatomedins | back 17 mediate growth hormone effects |
