Study Notes
Hypothalamic Regulation of Anterior Pituitary
- Hypothalamic release hormones (GHRH, CRH, TRH, GnRH) stimulate the anterior pituitary gland to secrete trophic hormones.
- Hypothalamic inhibitory hormones (GHIH, PIH) inhibit the secretion of trophic hormones from the anterior pituitary gland.
Anterior Pituitary Function
- The anterior pituitary gland secretes trophic hormones, which act on other endocrine glands to stimulate hormone production.
- Trophic hormones secreted by the anterior pituitary gland include:
- ACTH (stimulates adrenal cortex)
- TSH (stimulates thyroid gland)
- FSH and LH (stimulate ovaries and testes)
