What hormones does the pituitary gland release to control other endocrine glands?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
The anterior pituitary synthesizes and secretes the following important endocrine hormones:
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), release under influence of hypothalamic Corticotropin Releasing Hormone (CRH).
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), release under influence of hypothalamic Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone (TRH).
Growth hormone (also referred to as 'Human Growth Hormone', 'HGH' or 'GH' or somatotropin), release under influence of hypothalamic Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH); inhibited by hypothalamic Somatostatin.
Prolactin (PRL), also known as 'Luteotropic' hormone (LTH), release under influence of multiple hypothalamic Prolactin Releasing Factors (PRH).
The two 'Gonadotropins';
Luteinizing hormone (also referred to as 'Lutropin' or 'LH', or in males, 'Interstitial Cell Stimulating Hormone' (ICSH)), and
Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), both released under influence of Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH).
and;
melanocyte-stimulating hormones (MSH's) or "intermedins" as these are released by the pars intermedia which is "the middle part"; adjacent to the posterior pituitary lobe, pars intermedia is a specific part developed from the anterior pituitary lobe.
The posterior pituitary stores and releases:
Oxytocin, most of which is released from the paraventricular nucleus in the hypothalamus
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH, also known as vasopressin and AVP, arginine vasopressin), the majority of which is released from the supraoptic nucleus in the hypothalamus

What gland secrete hormones that control the activity of the other endocrine glands?
There are four: Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) Luteinizing hormone (LH) Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) They are in the Anterior Pituitary
What group of cells or tissues release hormones?
The endocrine system with the pituitary gland in the brain being the master control gland that regulates this system.
Why is the hypothalamus considered the control center of the endocrine system?
The hypothalamus is considered the control center of the endocrine system because it acts as the endocrine system's thermostat - it signals glands to turn on or off hormones as the body needs them.
What does the endocrine system control the release of?
hormones
What do endocrine cells secrete?
There are many hormones secreted by the endocrine system. The hypothalamus secretes releasing and inhibiting hormones that affect the production and release of hormones from other glands, mainly the pituitary gland. Here is a partial list.Growth hormoneLutiening hormoneProlactinAdrenocorticotopic hormoneAndidiuretic hormoneOxytocinThyroxineTriiodothyronineFollicle stimulating hormoneMelatoninThymosinThymopoetin
What organ releases the endocrine?
That is anterior pituitary. It affects on ovaries
What hormone stimulates and inhibits secretion of anterior pituitary?
Neurosecretary cells respond to neural control. When they are stimulated they release inhibiting hormones, as well as others. The pituitary gland produces and releases human growth hormone (hGH). In order to control the amount of hormone released, the endocrine system has a hormonal control system, neural control system, and a negative and positive feedback system. If the hypothalamus decides that the pituitary is putting out too much hGH, it uses neural control via the neurosecretory cells to release human growth hormone inhibiting factor (hGHIF) through hormonal control slows down the production in the pituitary.
Why is pituitary known as the master gland?
The pituitary gland is sometimes called the "master" gland of the endocrine system, because it controls the functions of the other endocrine glands. The pituitary gland is no larger than a pea, and is located at the base of the brain. The gland is attached to the hypothalamus (a part of the brain that affects the pituitary gland) by nerve fibers. The pituitary gland itself consists of three sections:the anterior lobethe intermediate lobethe posterior lobe
Why is the anterior pituitary called the master gland?
An endocrine gland is any organ that secretes chemicals (called hormones) into the blood. The hypothalamus releases several hormones, including corticotropin-releasing hormone, thyrotropin-releasing hormone, growth hormone-releasing hormone, oxytocin, antidiuretic hormone, and a bunch of others. Because many of these hormones regulate the activity of the pituitary gland, which is often called the master regulator of the endocrine system, the hypothalamus is often considered the ultimate regulator of the endocrine system.
What organ release the endocrine system?
All glands produce hormones, all hormones affect the nervous system. The nervous system influences all glands to release hormones, either by nerve impulses or hormones released by other glands. This question is a bit like answering the question "what came first, the chicken or the egg?......" If you meant what is the most important, then the brain has direct control of the pituitary gland, that is the master control of the body's endocrine system.
Is the posterior pituitary gland a true endocrine gland?
It is only a hormone storage area that receives hormones from the hypothalamus for release.
Which endocrine glands are located in the brain?
The pituitary gland is located below the hypothalamus. Both the anterior and posterior lobes release hormones such as ACTH and thyroxin.
