Study Notes
Hormone Regulation
- Hormone release stops once an appropriate level in the blood is reached.
- A change in hormone levels in the blood, either an increase or decrease, triggers the release of more hormones.
Hormones of the Anterior Pituitary
- The anterior pituitary gland produces six hormones.
- Two of these hormones affect non-endocrine targets.
- The remaining four hormones stimulate other endocrine glands.
Thyroid Gland
- The thyroid gland is located at the base of the throat.
- It consists of two lobes connected by a bridge.
- It produces two hormones, including thyroxine.
Pineal Gland
