Anterior Pituitary Makes:
1. Growth Hormone which affects bones & muscles to produce growth.
2. Prolactin which affects the breast for milk secretion.
3. Adrenocorticotropic Hormone which affect adrenal glands to
(a) make aldosterone which affects the kidney to cause it to conserve sodium.
(b) to make cortisol which affects body cells causing stress.
(c) to make androgens which affect the axilla producing hair growth.
4. Thyroid hormone which affects the thyroid to make thyoxine. This acts on body cells and increases metabolism.
5. Gonadotropic Hormones (LH, FSH) which affect the testes causing them to make testosterone. This in turn affects body cells producing male secondary sex
characteristics. This same hormone affects the ovaries to make estrogen which again affects body cells which in turn produce female secondary sex
characteristics. Both males and females make these two sex hormones.
The third effect is on the ovaries to make progesterone which acts on the uterus to maintains pregnancy.
Post Pit makes:
1. Oxyotocin which acts on the breast to cause the breasts to "let down" milk. It also causes the uterus to contract.
2. Antidiuretic hormone which acts on the kidney to conserve water
Antidiuretic hormone is a posterior pituitary hormone. It's also known as vasopressin.
The hypothalamus is superior to the pituitary gland.
formation of antidiuretic hormone
The Posterior Pituitary secretes oxytocin and vasopressin, which is antidiuretic hormone.
Prolactin-inhibiting hormoneThe Prolactin-inhibiting hormone
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.
Antidiuretic hormone
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.
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.
antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
It is synthesized in pituitary. It is the anterior pituitary.
Posterior pituitary, produced in the hypothalamus
Yes, the anterior pituitary secretes growth hormone. It's made by the acidophilic cells.
That hormone is called ADH or antidiuretic hormone. Diuresis means producing urine and antiduresis is the opposite.
