- Which hormones produced in the posterior and anterior lobes of the pituitary gland have the targets indicated? Below, fill in the blanks using the abbreviations noted in Section 15.3.Match the hormone source with the closest description.Name six hormones secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland.
- Name seven hormones produced by the anterior pituitary gland. Why are four of these seven hormones called “tropic hormones”? Explain how neurosecretory cells in the hypothalamus control secre-tion of hormones by the anterior pituitary gland.Name the hormones secreted by other organs like placenta, kidneys , heart and adipose tissueName the hormones released by the Posterior Pituitary gland and their actions.
- List the four anterior pituitary hormones that are tropic hormones and name their target glands.The pituitary gland is often referred to as the master gland. Set aside the fact that this term is sexist and hegemonic. Instead, consider this definition from the Merriam Webster dictionary “being a device or mechanism that controls the operation of another mechanism.” Using examples from the anterior and posterior pituitary, explain how this definition could be appropriate.Provide Hormone's Full Name (I've provided Gland Region the abbreviation) Cell producing the hormone Target Cell(s) Hormone action or effect(s) Hypothalamus Releasing hormones Inhibiting hormones N/A N/A Pituitary Adenohypophysis GH: N/A PRL: N/A TSH: N/A АСТH: N/A MSH: N/A FSH: N/A LH: N/A Neurohypophysis ADH: Оxytocin hypothalamus neuron hypothalamus neuron Thyroid TH: Calcitonin Parathyroid PTH: N/A Adrenal Medulla ΝE/Epi adrenal medulla cells Cortex Give Regions of Adrenal Cortex: Mineralocorticoids Ex.
