    Study Notes

    Major Endocrine Glands and Hormones

    • The Anterior Pituitary gland secretes Growth Hormone, which targets all body cells.
    • Growth Hormone promotes growth and tissue repair.
    • The Anterior Pituitary gland secretes different hormones for males and females.
    • The Anterior Pituitary gland secretes hormones that target various tissues.
    • The Anterior Pituitary gland is involved in a variety of functions.

    Anterior Pituitary and Hormones

    • The anterior pituitary is a gland that secretes hormones that target various tissues and cells in the body.
    • Growth hormone (GH) is produced by the anterior pituitary and targets all body cells to promote growth and tissue repair.
    • The anterior pituitary also produces hormones specific to male and female reproductive systems.

    Major Endocrine Glands and Hormones

    • Anterior Pituitary: Growth Hormone (GH) acts on all body cells promoting growth and tissue repair.
    • Anterior Pituitary: GH also plays a role in the regulation of metabolism.
    • Anterior Pituitary: The anterior pituitary gland is responsible for producing and secreting a variety of hormones.
    • Anterior Pituitary: Some of the hormones produced by the anterior pituitary gland include growth hormone, prolactin, thyroid-stimulating hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone.
    • Anterior Pituitary: These hormones play an important role in regulating a wide range of bodily functions, including growth, development, metabolism, and reproduction.
    • Anterior Pituitary: The anterior pituitary gland works in conjunction with the hypothalamus in the brain.
    • Anterior Pituitary: The hypothalamus releases hormones that stimulate or inhibit the release of hormones from the anterior pituitary gland.
    • Anterior Pituitary: The anterior pituitary gland regulates the production of hormones by other glands, including the thyroid, adrenal glands, and gonads.
    • Anterior Pituitary: The anterior pituitary gland sits at the base of the brain and is a small, pea-sized gland.
    • Anterior Pituitary: The anterior pituitary gland is a key regulator of the endocrine system.
