hormones in anterior pituitary gland
somatotropin (GH) thyrotropins (TSH) corticotropins (ACTH) lactotropins (prolactin) gonadotropic hormones (FSH) luteinizing hormones (LH) melanocyte-stimulating hormone
hormone for protein formation and CELL PROLIFERATION & DIFFERENTIATION
GH (somatotropin)
hormone that is important for METABOLISM OF GLUCOSE, PROTEIN & FAT
corticotropins (ACTH)
cells that produce TSH
thyrotropes
hormone for mammary glands development and milk production
prolactin
hormone for growth of ovaries and testes, LH and FSH
gonadotropic hormones
hormones in posterior pituitary
antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin) oxytocin
hormone that controls water balance in body
antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin)
hormone that causes uterine contractions leading to birth
oxytocin
portion of brain that controls pituitary secretions by releasing and inhibitory factors (for each AP hormone, this releases 2 hormones)
hypothalamus
another name for hypothalamus
pituitary axis
site of synthesis for GH (somatotropin)
adenohypophysis (anterior pituitary)
Primary function of GH (somatotropin- STH) that is done by stimulating the enzymes of SOMATOMEDIN
increase linear height
secondary function of GH (somatotropin- STH) that is stimulated by enzymes of PROTEIN ANABOLISM, CHO CATABOLISM, LIPID CATABOLISM
stimulates metabolism
secondary function of GH (somatotropin- STH) that is stimulated by secretion of GLUCAGON, CORTISOL, CHO catabolism (Acts as an insulin ANTAGONIST)
increase blood glucose
secondary function of secondary function of GH (somatotropin- STH) that increases the number of SOLUTES in plasma; body passively absorbs water from ISF plasma volume
increase blood pressure
secondary function of GH (somatotropin- STH) that increases intestinal absorption of calcium
increase plasma calcium
secondary function of GH (somatotropin- STH) that increases cell membrane permeability to sodium and phosphorus from the Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT) and the Collecting Duct (CD)- kidney
increase renal absorption of sodium and phosphorus
secondary function of GH (somatotropin- STH) that increases the # of structures- produces antibodies
increase immune response
secondary function of GH (somatotropin- STH) that increase synthesis of erythropoietin
increase oxygen transport
stimulate breast development and increase milk production are SECONDARY functions of
GH (somatotropin-STH)
GH (somatotropin- STH) controls these (2) + secretions:
somatoliberin +
thyroxine +
GH (somatotropin- STH) controls this (1) - secretions:
somatostatin -
