oxytocin
What is the function of the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland?
The function of the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland is to store and secrete hormones that are produced by the brain. These hormones are oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone.
What part of the brain is involved in control of antidiuretic hormone?
The Posterior Pituitary secretes oxytocin and vasopressin, which is antidiuretic hormone.
What are the two hormones that are produced in the hypothalamus but stored in the pituitary?
Oxitocin, and ADH
What is a posterior lobe?
posterior lobe release the hormone oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone.
What hormones has more target cells in the body than any of the others Antidiuretic hormone corticotropin-releasing hormone growth hormone or oxytocin?
oxytocin
What hormones are released from nerve cells rather than endocrine glands?
antidiuretic hormone and oxytocin
How are hormones release by the posterior pituitary?
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH, vasopressin) and Oxytocin
What hormone is released from the posterior pituitary gland?
The posterior pituitary gland does not actually produce any hormones, instead they are produced by the hypothalamus, then stored in the posterior pituitary which releases them when they are needed. The two hormones stored and released by the posterior pituitary are Oxytocin and Antidiuretic Hormone or vasopressin. The function of Oxytocin is to produce uterine contractions before and after child birth and also to eject milk during breast feeding. Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) also known as vasopressin, controls the production of urine. If we are dehydrated, then ADH is released and inhibits the production of urine, leaving more fluid available to circulate around the body.
What are the function of oxytocin?
The major functions of oxytocin have to do with smooth muscle contraction.
What hormone does the hpothalamus produce?
Thyrotropin-releasing hormone Gonadotropin-releasing hormone Adrenocorticotropin-releasing hormone Oxytocin Antidiuretic hormone
