What is the difference between trophic hormones and tropic hormones?
Tropic hormones stimulate the release of other hormones from endocrine glands, while trophic hormones promote the growth or secretion of endocrine glands themselves. Tropic hormones regulate the function of target glands, while trophic hormones affect the size or development of those glands.
Is prolactin a tropic hormone?
Prolactin is not considered a tropic hormone because it does not act on another endocrine gland to regulate the secretion of another hormone. Instead, prolactin primarily functions to stimulate milk production in mammary glands after childbirth.
What does it mean if a hormone is a tropic hormone?
"Trophic" describes any hormone that controls the secretion of another hormone
WHat trophic hormones are secreted by the anterior pituitary gland?
The anterior pituitary gland secretes several trophic hormones, including adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), growth hormone (GH), and prolactin. These hormones regulate the function of other endocrine glands in the body.
What is a tropic hormone List them?

Which hormone helps in growth of height?

Why FSH and LH are tropic hormone and is TH is tropic hormone?
FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone) are considered tropic hormones because they stimulate other endocrine glands, specifically the ovaries and testes, to produce sex hormones and regulate reproductive processes. They originate from the anterior pituitary gland and act on target organs to influence hormone secretion. Thyroid hormone (TH), however, is not a tropic hormone; it is produced by the thyroid gland itself and regulates metabolism and energy use in the body rather than stimulating another gland.
What is the name of the hormones that target other endocrine glands to stimulate their growth and secretion?
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.
