Somatotrophs release
human growth hormone (HgH) somatotropin
Thyrotrophs release
thyroid stimulating hormone ( TSH)
Gonadotrophs release
Follicle Stimulating hormone (FSH) and lutenizing hormone (LH)
lactotrophs release
prolactin (PRL)
corticotrophs release
adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) corticotropin or melanocyte stimulating hormone
Growth hormone (somatotropin)
targets the liver and stimulates liver, muscle, cartilage, bone to secrete insulin like
growth factors IGF's
thyroid stimulating hormone (thrytrotropin)
targets the thyroid gland ands limits secretion of of thyroid hormones by thyroid gland
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in females
targets ovaries and initiates the development of oocytes and induces ovarian secretion
of estrogens
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in males
targets testes and stimulates testes to produce sperm
Prolactin (PRL)
targets mammary glands works with other hormones and promotes milk production by
mammary glands
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
targets adrenal cortex and stimulates secretion of glucocorticoids
melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH)
targets the brain and may influence brain activity and may cause darkening of skin
posterior pituitary stores and releases
oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone
oxytocin
targets uterus and mammary glands and stimulates contraction of smooth muscle
during birth and contraction of cells in mammary glands
antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
Hormone produced by the neurosecretory cells in the hypothalamus that stimulates
water reabsorption from kidney tubule cells into the blood and vasoconstriction of
arterioles.
the thyroid gland is located
inferior to the larynx and anterior to the trachea
the parathyroid glands are located
posterior surface of lateral lobes of thyroid gland
chief cells produce
