Answer 2

The hypothalamus is located on the base of the brain below the thalamus, as its name describe. One of the most important functions of the hypothalamus is to link the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland (hypophysis) releasing hormones that act upon the hypophysis releasing or inhibiting other hormones from the hypophysis. The mayor hypthalamic hormones are Thyroid Releasing Hormone (THR), Gonadotropic Releasing Hormone (GnRH), Corticotropin Releasing Hormone (CRH), somatostatin and pif. Hypothalamus's supraoptic nucleus control the secretion of oxytocin and vasopressin from the posterior hypophysis.

Answer 3

The hypothalamic hormones, TRH, CRH, GHRH, somatostatin and PIF are synthesized in neuronal cell bodies in the ventromedial and arcuate nucleus; GNRH is synthesized in the pre-optic nuclesu. The hormones, packaged in vesicle, are transported down axon to the nerve ending in the median eminence. They are then secreted into the hypophiseal-portal system and transported to the anterior pituitary. Hypothalamic hormones bind to receptors on the cells of the anterior pituitary and modify the secretion of TSH, ACTH, LH, FSH, GH, and prolactin.

Answer 4

TRH is produced by the hypothalamus in medial neurons of the paraventricular nucleus.[3]At the beginning, it is synthesized as a 242-amino acid precursor polypeptide that contains 6 copies of the sequence -Gln-His-Pro-Gly-, flanked by Lys-Arg or Arg-Arg sequences. To produce the mature form, a series of enzymes are required. First, a protease cleaves to the C-terminal side of the flanking Lys-Arg or Arg-Arg. Second, a carboxypeptidase removes the Lys/Arg residues leaving Gly as the C-terminal residue. Then, this Gly is converted into an amide residue by a series of enzymes collectively known as peptidylglycine-alpha-amidating monooxygenase. Concurrently with these processing steps, the N-terminal Gln (glutamine) is converted into pyroglutamate (a cyclic residue). These multiple steps produce 6 copies of the mature TRH molecule per precursor molecule for human TRH (5 for mouse TRH).
