What is The hormone that targets the thyroid gland and triggers the release of thyroid hormone is?

Thyroid-stimulating hormone or TSH. When the thyroid is under-active the pituitary secretes more TSH to try to make the thyroid release its own hormones (T3 and T4).

What hormone is needed thyroxine production?
thyroxine is produced in the Thyroid gland
Does increased thyroid hormone production increase or decrease TSH production?
Increase in thyroid hormone will lower TSH production, because there is a feedback loop between TSH that stimulates the production of thyroid hormone and the hormone that then will then regulate the stimulation of TSH so that thyroid hormone is not over produced.
Regulation of the release of T3 and T4 from the thyroid gland is controlled by negative feedback?
When the level of the thyroxine increase, the level of the thyroid stimulating hormone decrease. So in turn the level of the thyroid hormone decreases. When the level of the thyroxine decrease, the level of the thyroid stimulating hormone increase. This in turn increase the level of the thyroxine. This explanation does not explain to how the level of the hormone is regulated at that particular level. But then this explanation satisfy most of the people.
What is levothyroxine used for?
Levothyroxine is a synthetic thyroid hormone used to treat hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland doesnot produce enough thyroid hormone.
What is the body's major metabolic hormone called?
The body's major metabolic hormone is called the thyroid hormone.
What gland releases the hormone that triggers the thyroid gland to release thyroxine?
the anterior pituitary gland.
Most tissues are targets for what hormone?
Thyroid hormone is the hormone that controls how each cell in the body metabolizes energy.
What is the stimulus for release of Thyroid hormone?
Unlike some medical terminology, this one is kind of straightforward. Thyroid-stimulating hormone is what stimulates the thyroid to produce thyroid hormone.
An increase in the bloods level of a thyroid gland hormone decreases the release of thyroid-stimulating hormone this mechanism illustrates what?
Negative feedback. "feed back" because one thing triggers another "negative" because the trigger causes a decrease
What hormone release from the hypothalsmus?
thyroid
What releases TSH?
TSH is inhibited by feedback inhibition exerted by the thyroid hormones on the anterior pituitary and hypothalamus and by GHIH.
What produces Thyroid stimulating hormone?
The hormone called as thyroid stimulating hormone stimulates the production of the thyroid hormone. It comes from anterior lobe of the pituitary. There is negative feed back system to regulate the hormone production in your body.
What gland synthesizes T3 and T4 hormones?
The hormone that regulates the synthesis and secretion of T3 (Triiodothyronine) and T4 (Thyroxine) by the thyroid gland is thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) that is produced and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland, also known as the adenohypophysis.
Which hormone stimulates the release of thyroid hormone?
thyroid hormone release is stimulated by thyroid stimulating hormone,which is released by adenohypophysis of pituitary gland .this in turn stimulated by thyroid releasing factor which is released by hypothalamus .in the presence of this thyroid stimulating hormone conversion of inactive iodine to active iodine takes place.and also formation of T3 and T4 hormones occurs under the influence of this hormone only, this reaction is favored by this hormone.it stimulates thyroid gland to release thyroid hormone which is composed of T3 and T4 units.T is nothing but the tyrosine units present in throglobulin a colloid present in lumen of thyroid follicles.
Does increased thyroid hormone production increase or decrease TRH production?
Thyroid releasing hormone (TRH) is released when thyroid hormones are low. Increased thyroid hormone production would serve to inhibit/decrease TRH release.
An increase in the bloods level of a thyroid gland hormone decreases the release of thyroid stimulating hormone. what does this mechanism illustrate?
Thyroid function is an example of a negative feedback system.
What do the hormone TSH produced by the pituitary serves to do what?
TSH stands for thyroid stimulating hormone and it signals the release of the thyroid hormones, T3 and thyroxine.
