Chapter 9, Problem 18SAE
Summary Introduction
To review:
The organ that controls the release of hormones secreted by the anterior pituitary glands.
Introduction:
The anterior pituitary is a pea-sized gland that protrudes from the lower part of the brain below the hypothalamus. The hormones produced by this gland are growth hormone (GH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), prolactin, thyrotrophic hormone (TH), luteinizing hormone (LH), as well as follicle stimulating hormone (FSH).

The anterior pituitary is often referred to as the master endocrine organ, but it, too, has a “master.” What controls the release of anterior pituitary hormones?
The anterior lobe of the pituitary secretes so many hormones that it is often called the master endocrine organ, but it too has a “master.” What structure controls the release of anterior pituitary hormones?
Given that the anterior pituitary releases multiple hormones, how is it that a particular hypothalamus releasing hormone stimulates the secretion of a specific anterior pituitary hormone?
