The hypothalamussecretes Corticotropin releasing hormone which stimulates the anteriorpituitary to secrete A.C.T.H. (Adrenocorticotrophic) hormone, which in turn stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce cortisone.

What is the target for releasing organs from the hypothalamus?
A) anterior pituitary
What is the circulatory pathway from the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary?
portal system
What organ secretes follicle stimulating hormone?
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a glycoprotein gonadotropin secreted by the anterior pituitary in response to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which is released by the hypothalamus.
Male reproductive functions are controlled mainly by hormones from the hypothalamus and?
anterior pituitary gland and testes
What are three endocrine organs whose activity is stimulated by pituitary hormones?
The adrenals, thyroid, and gonads are affevcted by hormones from the anterior pituitary. These hormones are ACTH, TSH, FSH, and LH.
What are the names of glands in the human body?
The main endocrine glands are: Hypothalamus, (anterior/posterior) pituitary, pineal, thyroid, parathyroids, thymus, adrenals, pancreas (aka Islets of Langerhans) , and gonads.
The anterior pituitary is secreted by what?
Hypothalamus
How does GnRH get from the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary and what effects does it have on the pituitary?
The hypophysial portal system carries gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary. It stimulates the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the anterior pituitary.
What is the target for releasing organs from the hypothalamus?
A) anterior pituitary
Name the master of the anterior pituitary gland?
hypothalamus..
How do the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland interact?
it is by the hypophyseal portal system, which is a system of blood vessels that connects parts of the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary gland. The hypothalamus secretes hormones into this portal system and the hormones act on the anterior pituitary to trigger the synthesis/secretion of pituitary hormones.
Will high levels of testosterone inhibit the A hypothalamus B anterior pituitary gland?
A. Hypothalamus
What is the circulatory pathway from the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary?
portal system
Can the hypothalamus function without the pituitary?
No, because the hypothalamus manufactures the hormones for the posterior pituitary gland and it sends the instructions for the anterior pituitary gland to produce hormones.
What does the portal system link the hypothalamus to?
The portal system links the anterior pituitary gland to the hypothalamus.
How is the anterior pituitary connected to the hypothalamus?
The hypothalamus is connected to the pituitary gland in two ways. One is via the hypophyseal portal system, which is a system of blood vessels that connects parts of the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary gland. The hypothalamus secretes hormones into this portal system and the hormones act on the anterior pituitary to trigger the synthesis/secretion of pituitary hormones. The other is a direct anatomical connection between the hypothalamus and the posterior pituitary gland. In fact, the posterior pituitary gland is actually just an extension of the hypothalamus. When we talk about hormones released by the posterior pituitary, we're actually talking about hormones made and released by the hypothalamus. It just so happens that with the naked eye, it looks like the anterior and posterior pituitary are all part of one big pituitary gland. But microscopically, functionally and anatomically, the pituitary gland is just an outgrowth of the hypothalamus.
Can the pituitary gland function without the hypothalamus?
No, because the hypothalamus manufactures the hormones for the posterior pituitary gland and it sends the instructions for the anterior pituitary gland to produce hormones.
