Steroid hormone action
lipids, derived from cholesterol, slower passing
Nonsteroid hormone action
proteins, work by system of 1st and 2nd messenger. protein has to be right
shape.
Hypothalamus
The control centre for the autonomic nervous system produces Antidiuretic
hormone (ADH) and oxytocin. Releases inhibiting hormones (IHs) and
releasing hormones (RHs).
Prostaglandins (PGs)
Also known as a "tissue hormone," it's a lipid substance found in a wide variety
of tissues and more often than not is already in close proximity to where their
specific secreted hormone needs to be.
ex. leukotrienes and thromboxane.
Posterior pituitary gland
Also known as the neurohypophysis located on the sella trucica; it is made up of
nervous tissue/neurons and stores and secretes 2 hormones made by the
hypothalamus (oxytocin and ADH).
, Anterior pituitary gland
The anterior part of the pituitary gland located on the sella trucica, also called
the adenohypophysis; an endocrine gland whose secretions are controlled by the
hypothalamic hormones
Hormones involve: Growth hormone (GH), Adenocorticotropioc hormone
(ACTH), Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), Gonadotropic hormones (FSH
and LH), Prolactin (PRL)
Sella trucica (sphenoid)
A depression in the middle of the sphenoid bone where the pituitary gland is
located.
Tropic hormone
Hormone that stimulates the secretion of another hormone or other glands to
release their hormones.
Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)
Stimulates the thyroid gland in the neck to make thyroid hormones.
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
Stimulates adrenal cortex to secrete glucocorticoids.
