The pituitary hormones help control some of the following body processes:
Growth
Blood pressure
Some aspects of pregnancy and childbirth including stimulation of uterine contractions during childbirth
Breast milk production
Sex organ functions in both men and women
Thyroid gland function
The conversion of food into energy (metabolism)
Water and osmolarity regulation in the body
Secretes ADH (antidiuretic hormone) to control the absorption of water into the kidneys
Temperature regulation
the hormones that are produced are
Adrenocorticotrophic Hormone (ACTH)
Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
Luteinising Hormone (LH)
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
Prolactin (PRL)
Growth Hormone (GH)
Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone (MSH)

WHat trophic hormones are secreted by the anterior pituitary gland?
No not all hormones produced by the anterior pituitary are growth hormones. Growth Hormone is released by the anterior pituitary and it in not a tropic hormone.
What lobe is the growth hormone is secreted by the pituitary gland?
The anterior lobe. Other hormones produced by the anterior lobe include thyroid stimulating hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, and adrenocorticotropic hormone.
Why would a person have thyroid problems if his anterior pituitary gland was damaged?
Anterior pituitary secretes the hormone THS. That is thyroid stimulating hormone. In absence of the anterior pituitary the hormone is not secreted by the thyroid and you get the hypothyroidism.
Does the anterior pituitary gland produce hormones?
The anterior pituitary gland in the brain is the first place the Gaonadotrophin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) goes when it is produced by the Hypothalamus (a region in the brain). Next, two hormones are produced, the Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and the Lutenizing Hormone (LH). Basically, the Hypothalamus is the starting place. GnRH is produce there and then goes to the anterior pituitary gland. Because of this, FSH and LH are produced. This process is the progression from pre-puberty to puberty.
How does GnRH get from the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary and what effects does it have on the pituitary?
The hypophysial portal system carries gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary. It stimulates the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the anterior pituitary.
WHat trophic hormones are secreted by the anterior pituitary gland?
No not all hormones produced by the anterior pituitary are growth hormones. Growth Hormone is released by the anterior pituitary and it in not a tropic hormone.
What is melanocyte-stimulating hormone produced by?
Anterior Pituitary
What produces the growth hormone?
Growth hormone is produced in the pituitary gland.
What gland secretes prolactin?
Oxytocin, also knwon as the "cuddle hormone" is produced in hypothalamic neurons.
What is growth hormone produced by?
the ADENOhypophysis, or anterior pituitary gland, is where growth hormone is produced.
Where is lh made?
Leutnizing hormone is produced in the anterior pituitary gland
Which endocrine glands is secreting an excess of hormone when a giant is produced?
Growth hormone is the hormone. It is secreted by anterior pitutory
Name for growth hormone?
somatotropin A protein hormone of the anterior lobe of the pituitary, produced by the acidophil cells, that promotes body growth, fat mobilization, and inhibition of glucose utilization; diabetogenic when present in excess; a deficiency of somatotropin is associated with a number of types of dwarfism (type III is an X-linked disorder). Syn: growth hormone, pituitary growth hormone, somatotropic hormone.
Is gonadotropins part of anterior pituitary?
gonadatropin realeasing hormone is produced by hypothalmus. Signals anterior pituitary to produce LH and FSH
What is cortictropin?
Adrenocorticotropic hormone: A hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland that stimulates the adrenal cortex.
Where is FSH secreted?
Both are produced in the anterior pituitary.
What lobe is the growth hormone is secreted by the pituitary gland?
The anterior lobe. Other hormones produced by the anterior lobe include thyroid stimulating hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, and adrenocorticotropic hormone.
