What is the name of the hormone that promotes sodium retention and potassium secretion?
Natriuretic hormones
Which pituitary hormone promotes egg development in the ovaries and sperm development in the testes?
This is FSH - follicle stimulating hormone. While the hormone was named for its actions in the female (where it was first discovered), FSH was later discovered to also be secreted in the male, although the hormone is secreted continuously rather than in 'pulses' or 'waves' like in the female.
What causes the peak in luteinizing hormone?
In the beginning of the menstrual cycle, LH and FSH stimulate the ovaries to make estrogen. During this time, there is a negative feedback loop, so levels of all three hormones are rather low. Eventually, as the estrogen levels slowly creep up, there comes a time when it switches from negative feedback to positive feedback (not exactly sure what the biochemical basis of this is), and LH and FSH levels skyrocket (estrogen levels go up to, but not as sharply, and there is always more LH than FSH). The LH surge causes ovulaton. The corpus luteum starts secreting progesterone, which inhibits LH and FSH secretion in a negative feedback manner, and so FSH and LH levels drop sharply.
Do both Men and Women manufacture FSH?
No, only women manufacture FSH.
What is the role of FSH in female reproductive system?
FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) stimulates the development of ovarian follicles.
What hormones control the secretion of FSH?
There are 2 hormones that regulate the secretion of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH):activin = stimulates (or "activates") the secretion of FSHinhibin = inhibits the secretion of FSH
How can FSH be the cause of not producing eggs?
FSH, secreted by the Pituitary gland,stimulates the secretion of Oestrogen from the ovaries, Oestrogen in turn stimulates the secretion of LH by the pituitary and inhibits the secretion of FSH, LH then stimulates ovulation (the release of an egg). Without FSH this chain reaction does not happen.
What inhibits secretion of LH and FSH?
Progesterone
Which hypothalamic hormone triggers the secretion of FSH?
GnRH
Agent that promotes secretion of urine?
DIURETICS
Exert negative feedback on the anterior pituitary relative to fsh secretion?
Estrogen and progesterone.
What is the hormone gonadotropin-releasing hormone?
It is produced by Hypothalamus.It stimulates secretion of FSH and LH by Pitutory.
Secretion of inhibin by either the Sertoli cells in the seminiferous tubules of the male testes or by the granulosa cells in the female ovarian follicles will specifically decrease the secretion of?
FSH;
The pituitary hormone that promotes egg development in ovaries and sperm development in testes is?
The hormone is FSH - follicle stimulating hormone.
Which hormone requires a releasing hormone from the hypothalamus for its secretion?
All the hormones from posterior Pitutory.They are FSH,LH,TSH,GH,Prolactin and AcTH.
What role do tropic hormone have on endocrine system?
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) are similar glycoproteins. FSH and LH are also called gonadotropins because they stimulate the activities of the gonads.TSH promotes normal development of the thyroid gland and the production of thyroid hormones.Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is a peptide hormone that stimulates the production and secretion of steroid hormones by the adrenal cortex.signals to the brain stimulate release of an anterior pituitary tropic hormone. The tropic hormone then acts on its target endocrine tissue, stimulating secretion of a hormone that exerts systemic metabolic or developmental effects.
What hormone triggers ovulation and promotes formation of a corpus luteum?
Progesterone is the primary hormone produced in the corpus luteum. Secondary is estrogen.
