A tropic hormone is any hormone that?
Hormones that target other endocrine glands. Produced by anterior pituitary. Include: FSH, TSH, LH, ACTH.
What causes a pituitary gland not to release enough hormones?
You have the various releasing factors, that come from the hypothalamus. The low level of the hormones from the target organ like thyroid may stimulate thyroid stimulating hormone from the pituitary.
What is the name of the hormones that target other endocrine glands to stimulate their growth and secretion?
The names of the hormones that target other endocrine glands stimulate their secretions are tropic hormones. Most, if not all, tropic hormones come from the hypothalamus or anterior pituitary gland.

What hormones are produced and released in the brain?
A hormone, wherever it is formed, that is delivered to the target tissue via the blood is called an endocrine (endo = within + crine = to secrete) hormone. They may be or protein or steroid structure. Neurons that make hormones are located in the hypothalamus. The hormones produced are oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone which are stored in the posterior pituitary (neurohypothalamus). They are still distributed as the other endocrine hormones are.
Steroid hormones are produced by what?
By glands. Hormones are produced only by the endocrine glands, e.g., the pituitary, the adrenals, etc.. Hormones are "chemical messengers": they are sent by the glands to target organs and stimulate them to produce specific effects, e.g. the hormone thyroxin is manufactured by the thyroid gland to regulate the metabolism.
What is the target area for trophic hormones?
Trophic hormones are hormones released by the anterior pituitary and it targets many other hormones/glands such as thyroid, suprenal cortex, mammary glands, ovaries, liver, kidneys, mellanocytes etc... :)
What are the main target organs for tropic hormones?
The anterior pituitary produces tropic hormones. These hormones include; thyroid-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, and follicle-stimulating hormone. The hypothalamus controls the release of these hormones.
What are target tissues?
when the chemicals arrive in the right places, the target tissues, they start to do their work. a group of cells that have receptors embedded in the plasma membrane that are complementary in shape to specific hormone molecules. Only these cells will respond to that specific hormone.
What organ system contains the pituitary organ?
The pituitary glad belongs to the endocrine system. The endocrine system contributes to the homeostasis, or balance, or the body by distributing hormones which regulate the activity and growth of target cells in the body.

What is the target organ of LH?
There are two parts of the pituitary gland; the anterior and the posterior. The hormones secreted in the anterior pituitary gland go to the ovaries and testicles as well as many other parts of the whole body (liver, muscles, cartilage, bone, etc.) The hormones secreted in the posterior pituitary gland go into the kidneys, uterus, and breasts.
