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
