Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The pituitary gland is also known as the hypophysis and is present in the vertebrates. It is one of the endocrine gland present at the base of the brain. The three lobes of the pituitary gland control different physiological processes. The pituitary gland secretes hormones, which regulate the blood pressure, growth, pregnancy, childbirth, and functions of other endocrine glands.

- Which of the following statements regarding pituitary hormones is FALSE? Group of answer choices Luteinizing hormone, an anterior pituitary hormone, triggers ovulation of an egg from the ovary and causes the ruptured follicle to produce progesterone and some estrogens. Antidiuretic hormone, released by the posterior pituitary, causes urine volume to increase and blood volume to decrease The hypothalamus makes oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone, which are transported the posterior pituitary for storage. Hyposecretion of follicle-stimulating hormone or luteinizing hormone leads to sterility in both males and females.arrow_forwardIf there is a defect in the anterior pituitary gland, what should the levels on the below be? *high or low CRH levels: ACTH levels: Cortisol levels:arrow_forward
