auxin
auxin
growth hormone-releasing hormone from the hypothalamus
A hormone that eventually stimulates growth. Also called somatotropin.
The anterior pituitary hormone that stimulates general body growth is called growth hormone (GH), also known as somatotropin. It is responsible for promoting growth in bones, muscles, and tissues throughout the body.
The hormone that stimulates an increase in the size and number of cells is called growth hormone (GH), also known as somatotropin. Growth hormone plays a crucial role in promoting growth, cell reproduction, and regeneration in humans and animals.
Growth hormone is the hormone that stimulates bone and muscle growth. It is made in the pituitary gland. It is also known as somatotropin. Growth hormone is responsible for the increase in height in children and adolescents. It also increases bone density and muscle mass, and stimulates organ growth.
The growth of stems and leaves is primarily stimulated by plant hormones called auxins, which promote cell elongation and division. Additionally, gibberellins play a crucial role in stem elongation, while cytokinins promote cell division and growth in leaves. Environmental factors such as light and water availability also significantly influence the growth of stems and leaves by affecting hormone production and distribution within the plant.
The hormone that stimulates the release of sugar from the liver into the blood is called glucagon.
Hormones secreted by the anterior pituitary are trophic hormones and tropic hormones. Trophic hormones directly affect growth on the tissue it is stimulating. The cells are glandular not nervous as in the posterior pituitary gland. The posterior acts indirectly.
Phototropism is a plant's response to light, causing it to grow towards the light source. This happens because light triggers the production of a hormone called auxin, which moves to the shaded side of the plant and stimulates cell elongation, causing the plant to bend towards the light.
The abbreviation for the hormone that stimulates the adrenal glands to produce corticosteroids is ACTH, which stands for adrenocorticotropic hormone.
Each time a plant is pushed by the wind, it releases a hormone called an auxin that stimulates the growth of supporting cells.
