Neurohormones produced in the hypothalamus and transported by the hypophyseal portal vessels to the anterior pituitary gland control its secretion of trophic hormones adrenocorticotropic hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, growth hormone, and prolactin. ...
The hormone progesterone is released by which structure in the female reproductive system? a. Anterior pituitary b. Corpus luteum c. Hypothalamus d. The adrenal glands What hormone causes ovulation in females? Which hormones are produced in the anterior pituitary gland? Where are produced the ADH ...
The hypothalamic-pituitary axis is a critical system in the body that regulates the release of hormones and controls various physiological processes. It consists of the hypothalamus, a region in the brain, and the pituitary gland, a small gland located at the base of the brain. Together, they ...
The hypothalamus releases a hormone called gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH), which stimulates the pituitary gland to release the follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and the luteinizing hormone (LH). FSH and LH are known as gonadotropins. FSH is the main driving factor that stimulates the ...
What hormones are produced in the hypothalamus? The hypothalamus function is through hormone release. Some of the hormones are: Neurohormones:Antidiuretic hormone and oxytocin. Hypothalamic factors:The hypothalamus uses corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH or corticoliberin), thyrotropin-releasing hormone (...
hypothalamic releasing hormone, releasing factor, releasing hormone, RH - any of several hormones produced in the hypothalamus and carried by a vein to the anterior pituitary gland where they stimulate the release of anterior pituitary hormones; each of these hormones causes the anterior pituitary to...

Oxytocin: A hormone and neurotransmitter produced by the hypothalamus and released by the pituitary gland. Known colloquially as the “love hormone,” oxytocin plays a key role in socializing, romantic relationships, and parent-child bonding, as it is released during group activities, physical contact...
