What is the relationship between the hypothalamus the anterior pituitary and the adrenals?
The hypothalamussecretes Corticotropin releasing hormone which stimulates the anteriorpituitary to secrete A.C.T.H. (Adrenocorticotrophic) hormone, which in turn stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce cortisone.
What is the target for releasing organs from the hypothalamus?
A) anterior pituitary
What anterior pituitary hormones stimulates milk production?
The hormone prolactin will cause milk production.
What is the circulatory pathway from the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary?
portal system
What hormone initiates menarche?
GnRH from the hypothalamus stimulates RH and FSH from the anterior pituitary gland. These start menarche, and are assisted during the menstrual cycle by oestrogen and progesterone
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.
How does the anterior and posterior pituitary differ?
the posterior pituitary is an extension to the hypothalamus, while the anterior stimulates general tissue growth and protein synthesis
The anterior pituitary is secreted by what?
Hypothalamus
What hormone secreted by the hypothalamus stimulates the anterior pituitary to secrete reproductive hormones?
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone(GnRH) is secreted by the hypothalamus to stimulate the anterior pituitary which in turn secretes reproductive hormones.(LH and FSH). These last two act differently in males and females. In females, LH, is involved in the menstrual cycle and the production of progesterone. In males, LH helps in the production of testosterone. In Females FSH, helps in the production of estrogen. In males FSH, is important in the maturation of sperm.
What is the relationship between the hypothalamus the anterior pituitary and the adrenals?
The hypothalamussecretes Corticotropin releasing hormone which stimulates the anteriorpituitary to secrete A.C.T.H. (Adrenocorticotrophic) hormone, which in turn stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce cortisone.
Name the master of the anterior pituitary gland?
hypothalamus..
What is the target for releasing organs from the hypothalamus?
A) anterior pituitary
How do the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland interact?
it is by the hypophyseal portal system, which is a system of blood vessels that connects parts of the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary gland. The hypothalamus secretes hormones into this portal system and the hormones act on the anterior pituitary to trigger the synthesis/secretion of pituitary hormones.
What anterior pituitary hormones stimulates milk production?
The hormone prolactin will cause milk production.
Will high levels of testosterone inhibit the A hypothalamus B anterior pituitary gland?
A. Hypothalamus
What is the circulatory pathway from the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary?
portal system
Can the hypothalamus function without the pituitary?
No, because the hypothalamus manufactures the hormones for the posterior pituitary gland and it sends the instructions for the anterior pituitary gland to produce hormones.
