The anterior pituitary produces seven well-characterized hormones: growth hormone (GH, somatotropin, STH); adreno-corticotropin (ACTH, corticotropin); thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH); melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH ); follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH); interstitial cell-stimulating hormone (ICSH,...
Posterior pituitary The posterior pituitary produces arginine vasopressin which has a major role as an antidiuretic hormone. It also has an endocrine function, acting with corticotrophin-releasing factor in stimulating the secretion of pro-opiomelanocortin from the anterior pituitary. Corticotrophin Cortico...
The anterior pituitary produces seven hormones. These are the growth hormone (GH), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), beta endorphin, and prolactin. Of the hormones of the anterior pituitary, TSH, ACTH...

Oxytocin levels during labour may also be influenced by local conditions in the uterine tissues. When the uterine muscles contract, local pressures temporarily occlude the blood supply, creating relatively low oxygen levels in the muscle. The resulting anaerobic metabolism produces lactic acid and increa...
Match the name of the hormone with the gland that produces it. a. adrenal gland b. anterior pituitary c. pancreas d. parathyroid gland e. thyroid gland An increase in thyroid-stimulating hormone in the blood of a mammal causes ___. (a) co...
Selye (1950) has shown chat a wide variety of noxious agents cause release of ACTH from the anterior pituitary, which in turn produces increased secretion of adrenal cortical hormones into the blood stream. At the same time, stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system produces an adrenal ...
It appears that the ectopic pituitary produces a diffusible substance capable of initiating lens formation from the dorsal margin of the iris and capable of determining the orientation of the fiber axis pole of the developing lens.doi:10.1016/0012-1606(76)90013-0Jeanne A. Powell...
6. Adenohypophyseal activity is controlled by hypothalamic releasing hormones, which are released into the portal system, which in turn connects the median eminence of the hypothalamus and the anterior pituitary gland. 378 http-equiv="content-type" ...
