Chapter 7, Problem 21RQ
Summary Introduction
To list: The six hormones and their functions that are associated with the anterior pituitary gland.
Introduction: Pituitary gland is a small gland that performs vital functions inside the body of the living organism. This gland is responsible for the production of several hormones in the body.
Summary Introduction
To determine: The trophic hormones among the six hormones of the anterior pituitary gland.
Introduction: Pituitary glands release six main hormones for various types of important functions in the body of living organisms. Among those six hormones, four hormones released by this gland are referred to as trophic hormones.

- Compare and contrast the functions and modes of action ofthe following pairs of hormones: insulin and glucagon; activevitamin D and parathyroid hormone; adrenocorticotropichormone (ACTH) and cortisol.arrow_forwardOne of the main endocrine glands in the human body is the pituitary gland. This gland produces a variety of hormones with different effects. Among these are a heterogeneous group of hormones called tropic hormones, which directly stimulate the secretion of other hormones from downstream endocrine glands. Which of the following are tropic hormones? Select all that apply. LH Prolactin Oxytocin ACTH TSH testosteronearrow_forwardDescribe the embryonic origins of the adenohypophysis and neurohypophysis, and list theparts of each. Which of these parts is also called the anterior pituitary? Which is called the posterior pituitary?arrow_forward
- Classify the following hormones into whether they are produced by the hypothalamus or the anterior pituitary gland. Anterior Pituitary Hormones Hypothalamic Hormones Thyroid-stimulating hormone (thyrotropin) Luteinizing hormone Thyrotropin-releasing hormone Adrenocorticotropic hormone Somatostatin Corticotropin-releasing hormone Growth hormone Growth hormone-releasing hormone Gonadotropin-releasing hormone Prolactin-inhibiting hormonearrow_forwardThere is a significant difference between the lobes of the pituitary gland. Select ALL that apply, The neurohypophysis is significantly larger than the adenohypophysis The adenohypophysis is glandular and ductless. The neurophypophysis is not. The neurohypophysis is an elongation of the hypothalamus. The adenohypophysis produces prolactin which is stimulated by dopamine. The adenohypophysis produces prolactin which is inhibited by dopamine.arrow_forwardBriefly describe the following terms and give an example for each case, in terms of hormones and hormone regulation: a. Negative feedback b. Positive feedback c. Releasing hormone d. Inhibitory hormone e. Tropin Neurohormonearrow_forward

What are the effects of under secretion and oversecretion? Give some of the most common examples.arrow_forwardState whether the given statement is true or false.
