repoduction growth development
Hormones are released for what
to stimulate tissues and this changes metabolism
Endocrine glands dont have what so release into where

Where is the PitG
base of the brain, suspended from infundibulum process
The 2 parts of the PitG
Post and Ant
Another name for PostPitG and AntPitG
PostPitG - Neurohypophysis
AntPitG - Adenohypophysis
What is the PostPitG for
Extension of hypothalamus, stores hormones produced by hypothalamus
What is AntPitG derived from
derived from epithelial cells of oral cavity
Hormones produced by AntPitG are
secreted in response to a specific releasing hormone produced by neurons of the hypo. These hormones are stored in the Pit
Name the 2 hormones secreted by the PostPitG
Oxytocin and Anti Diuretic hormone
Describe what Oxytocin and Anti Diuretic hormone are for
Oxytocin - stimulates uterine contraction and milk ejection
Anti Diuretic hormone - vasopressin, Stimulates kidneys to reabsorb water from urine and return it to the bloodstream
Name the 7 hormones produced by the AntPitG
Adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) Luteinising hormone (LH) Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) Prolactin (PRL) Growth hormone (GH) Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH)
Growth hormone (GH) does what
Promotes growth. High amount causes gigantism (children) and Acromegaly (Adults) and low causes dwarfism
