The largest pure endocrine gland in the body is?
The endocrine gland that produces the most hormones is the anterior pituitary gland. This gland produces: -Growth Hormone (GH) -Lutenizing Hormone (LH) -Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) -Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone (MSH) -Prolactin (PRL) -Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) -Beta-endorphin
What is required for The secretion of each of the hormones from the anterior pituitary?
The anterior pituitary produces luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone. Both are gonadotropins.
Which hormone is important for bone growth during infancy and childhood?
Growth hormone is the hormone that stimulates bone and muscle growth. It is made in the pituitary gland. It is also known as somatotropin. Growth hormone is responsible for the increase in height in children and adolescents. It also increases bone density and muscle mass, and stimulates organ growth.
What Hormones are given after the removal of the anterior pituitary gland?
The anterior pituitary not only produces hormones for its own use but also produces hormones for use of other glands. The anterior pituitary is sometimes referred to as the "master gland". The Growth Hormone or Somatotropic Hormone is produced during childhood and should no longer be produced by the adult anterior pituitary. The hormones that it produces for itself are: Prolactin is produced in quantity after childbirth and stimulates development of the mammary glands. It is also involved in the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates. Malanocyte-Stimulating Hormone (MSH) stimulates melanocytes to synthesize melanin; a dark pigment that provides skin color and absorbs ultraviolet radiation in sunlight. Anterior pituitary hormones that regulate other glands: Thyriod Stimulating Hormone (TSH) which aids in the production of thyroxin in the thyroid. Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) which aids in the production of cortisol in the adrenal cortex. Gonadotropic Hormones (GnRH)which aids in the production of sex hormones (follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and leutinizing hormone (LH)) in the ovaries and testes. Additionally, the anterior pituitary produces endorphin, a neuropeptide with pain suppressing capabilities. In order to answer this question, the age of the adult would play a role in the hormone supplements required and could include all or a subset of supplements for the hormones discussed above. This answer is based on research from various sites found on the internet. It is not a clinical finding by the person answering the question and is not intended to provide medical advice. A doctor should be consulted should before embarking on any supplement regime. Answered by Joe Bigley.The hormones needed by an adult whose anterior pituitary gland has been removed are growth hormone (GH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which is called interstitial cell-stimulating hormone (ICSH) in the male (Applegate, 2000, 209). If the patient does not have replacement for TSH, the thyroid gland will not be stimulated to produce thyroid hormones (Hypothyroidism, 2002). Thyroid hormones are produced by the thyroid gland and affects growth, development, and cellular processes. The thyroid gland uses iodine to produce thyroid hormones, the most important ones being thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), wgrowth hormone
What endocrine gland produces growth hormones?
Growth hormone (GH) is a peptide hormone that stimulates growth, cell reproduction and regeneration in humans and other animals. Growth hormone is a 191-amino acid, single-chain polypeptide that is synthesized, stored, and secreted by the somatotroph cells within the lateral wings of the anterior pituitary gland.

What gland secrete hormones that control the activity of the other endocrine glands?
There are four: Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) Luteinizing hormone (LH) Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) They are in the Anterior Pituitary
What is required for The secretion of each of the hormones from the anterior pituitary?
The anterior pituitary produces luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone. Both are gonadotropins.
What hormones does the pituitary gland release to control other endocrine glands?
The anterior pituitary synthesizes and secretes the following important endocrine hormones: Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), release under influence of hypothalamic Corticotropin Releasing Hormone (CRH). Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), release under influence of hypothalamic Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone (TRH). Growth hormone (also referred to as 'Human Growth Hormone', 'HGH' or 'GH' or somatotropin), release under influence of hypothalamic Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH); inhibited by hypothalamic Somatostatin. Prolactin (PRL), also known as 'Luteotropic' hormone (LTH), release under influence of multiple hypothalamic Prolactin Releasing Factors (PRH). The two 'Gonadotropins'; Luteinizing hormone (also referred to as 'Lutropin' or 'LH', or in males, 'Interstitial Cell Stimulating Hormone' (ICSH)), and Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), both released under influence of Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH). and; melanocyte-stimulating hormones (MSH's) or "intermedins" as these are released by the pars intermedia which is "the middle part"; adjacent to the posterior pituitary lobe, pars intermedia is a specific part developed from the anterior pituitary lobe. The posterior pituitary stores and releases: Oxytocin, most of which is released from the paraventricular nucleus in the hypothalamus Antidiuretic hormone (ADH, also known as vasopressin and AVP, arginine vasopressin), the majority of which is released from the supraoptic nucleus in the hypothalamus
Why is the anterior pituitary called the master gland?
An endocrine gland is any organ that secretes chemicals (called hormones) into the blood. The hypothalamus releases several hormones, including corticotropin-releasing hormone, thyrotropin-releasing hormone, growth hormone-releasing hormone, oxytocin, antidiuretic hormone, and a bunch of others. Because many of these hormones regulate the activity of the pituitary gland, which is often called the master regulator of the endocrine system, the hypothalamus is often considered the ultimate regulator of the endocrine system.

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) (+)
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 the anatomical position of anterior pituitary?
Pituitary gland lie in a special Fosse which is situated at the base of the brain in middle cranial Fosse. It is in Spenoid bone which is most interesting bone of the skull.This Fosse is called as Pituitary Fosse or Sella turcica.
What is the major targets for growth hormones?
The target gland for growth hormone (GH) are liver, chondrocyte (mature cell found in cartilage) and adipose cells (fat/lipid storing cells). ^ Someone else said this, but according to my anatomy book, "Although growth hormone stimulates most body cells to increase in size and divide, it's major target are the bones and skeletal muscles. Stimulation of the epiphyseal plate leads to long bone growth, and stimulation of skeletal muscles promotes increased muscle mass."
