Fat Soluble Hormones - ANSSteroids Water Soluble Hormones - ANSNeed 2nd Messenger to transport across phospholipid membranes Pituitary Hormones - ANSTSH, GH, ACTH, FSH, LH, Oxytocin, ADH, Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone Anterior Pituitary - ANSAcct for 75% of total weight of pituitary gland. Three regions, pars distalis, parts tuberalis, and pars intermedia. Pars distalis is major component of Anterior Pituitary and source of Anterior Pituitary Hormones. Posterior Pituitary (neurohypophysis) - ANSArises from 3rd ventricle of brain, consists of three parts, median eminence, pituitary stalk, and infundibular process (pars nervosa or neural tube). Median eminence is composed mainly of nerve endings of axons that arise primarily from ventral hypothalamus. Hypothalamic releasing Hormones in Posterior pituitary's median eminence. - ANSIncludes 10 hypothalamic releasing hormones and neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, acetylcholine, and histamine. Pituitary stalk - ANScontains axons of neurons that originate in the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus. Hormones of posterior pituitary - ANSADH, and Oxytocin (Peptide Hormones) ADH (antidiuretic Hormone) - ANSMajor homeostatic function of posterior pituitary is control of plasma osmolality, as regulated by ADH Hypothalamic hormones and target tissues (Hypophysiotropic hormones) - ANSHORMONES: Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone (TRH), Gonadotropoin-releasing hormone (GnRH), Somatostatin, Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), Substance P, Dopamine, Prolactin-releasing factor. TARGET Tissue: Anterior Pituitary Somatostatin - ANSInhibits release of growth hormone and TSH Gonadotropoin-releasing hormone - ANSStimulates release of FSH and LH
