Chapter 18, Problem 10CP
Summary Introduction
To review:
The influence of the hypothalamic inhibiting and releasing hormones on the secretions of the anterior pituitary.
Introduction:
The pituitary gland is a small structure that is divided into the anterior and posterior pituitary. It releases hormones, namely luteinizing hormone (LH), growth hormone (GH), and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). It is controlled by the hypothalamus, which is present in the brain. The hypothalamus secretes many releasing and inhibiting hormones, which in turn controls the secretion of the pituitary gland.
