Study Notes
Growth Hormone Regulation
- Growth Hormone (GH) is secreted by acidophil cells of the anterior pituitary gland.
- The secretion of GH from the anterior pituitary gland is controlled by two hormones: Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone (GHRH) and Somatostatin.
- GHRH stimulates the secretion of GH, while Somatostatin inhibits it.
Anterior Pituitary Gland Function
- The physiological role of the Anterior Pituitary Gland is to produce and regulate various hormones that control growth and development, metabolism, and reproductive functions.
- The Anterior Pituitary Gland is controlled by the Hypothalamus, a part of the brain that acts as the master endocrine gland.
