Study Notes

Hormones and the Central Nervous System (CNS)

Hormones

Releasing hormones stimulate the release of other hormones, while inhibiting hormones suppress the release of other hormones
Inhibiting hormones are also known as hypothalamic inhibiting hormones
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulates the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH)
Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is produced in the hypothalamus
The principal function of gonadotropins and sex steroids is to regulate growth, development, and reproductive processes

Central Nervous System (CNS)

The principal function of the CNS is to integrate and process information, and to control voluntary movements and responses
The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord
The CNS is protected by the meninges, a protective membrane that encases and protects the brain and spinal cord
The components of the brain include the cerebrum, cerebellum, brainstem, and limbic system
The CNS is located in the skull and spinal column of the body
