Hormones belong to the endocrine system, which releases hormones from endocrine glands to maintain homeostasis in the body. There are many different types of hormones travelling through the body but each hormone is only designed to work on specific target cells.

What hormones are secreted by the hypothalamus?

There are 7 different hormones released from the hypothalamus. They all are regulatory hormones that act on the anterior pituitary with the exception of prolactin inhibitory hormone. Most of them have a positive influence on the anterior pituitary, but there is also a negative influence on the growth hormone release.The 7 different hormones released are:GHRH (Growth hormone releasing hormone) - counteracted by another hormone released from the hypothalamus called Somatostatin, which blocks hormone release. (+)Growth hormone release inhibitory hormone - Somatostatin (-)CRH (Corticotropin releasing hormone) - acts on the adrenal glands to stimulate corticoid metabolism (+)TRH (Thyrotropin releasing hormone) - act on target cells within the pituitary gland (+)Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) - acts on target cells within the anterior pituitary to stimulate thyroid hormone production. (+)Prolactin inhibitory hormone - Dopamine(-)PRH (Prolactin releasing hormone) (+)

What hormones are produce by the hypothalamus?

It contains several types of neurons responsible for secreting different hormones: Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), Somatostatin and DopamineAll of these are released into the blood in the capillaries and travel immediately ' in portal veins' to a second capillary bed in the anterior lobe of the pituitary, where they exert their effects.Two other hypothalamic hormones: vasopressin and oxytocin travel in the neurons themselves to the posterior lobe of the pituitary where they are released into the circulation.
