Hypothalamus, pituitary gland and the embryo
The adrenal gland signals other glands to secrete hormones.
The Pituitary Gland.
pituitary
The hypothalamus stimulates or inhibits secretion of hormones by the pituitary gland. One of these is GH or Growth Hormone.
The names of the hormones that target other endocrine glands stimulate their secretions are tropic hormones. Most, if not all, tropic hormones come from the hypothalamus or anterior pituitary gland.
"Trophic" describes any hormone that controls the secretion of another hormone.
Growth hormone always exerts its influence by targeting other endocrine glands to produce hormones.
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH): Secretion of glucocorticoids Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH):Secrete thyroid hormones (Controls metabolism) Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH): Growth of reproductive system Luteinizing Hormone (LH): Sex hormone production Growth Hormone (GH): Promotes growth Prolactin: Secretes estrogen/progesterone and stimulates mammary glands to push milk into ducts
Tropic hormones are responsible for telling the body to secrete other hormones. They accomplish this by targeting endocrine glands. Most tropic hormones are secreted by the anterior pituitary.
The Pituitary Gland.
thyroxin
Anterior pituitary gland. It secretes Growth hormone,Thyroid stimulating hormone,Adrenocorticotrophic hormone, Follicle stimulating hormone,Leutenizing hormone,Prolactin hormone.

hormone that stimulates milk production and the secretion of progesterone in mammals; hormone which stimulates secretion from the crop gland in birds. prolactin gonadotropic hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary; in females it stimulates growth of the mammary glands and lactation after parturition [syn: lactogenic hormone, luteotropin].
Pituitary
Stimulates other endocrine glands. Regulates the growth.
Promote growth control of protein, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism Stimulate secretion of thyroid hormones Stimulate secretion of glucocorticoids Have Milk production Control of reproductive function Conservation of body water Stimulates milk ejection and uterine contractions.
Other hormones affecting growth include:Prolactin: Stimulates IGF-1Insulin: Stimulates IGF-1Thyroid HormoneGlucocorticoidsEstrogenTestosteroneGrowth hormone affects prolactin secretion, insulin, thyroid hormone, glucocorticoids, estrogen, and testosterone. None of these hormones act alone. All of these hormones are involved with promoting growth. In addition, release of growth hormone can affect the levels of these other hormones because of feedback mechanisms.
