What lobe is the growth hormone is secreted by the pituitary gland?

The main differences between the posterior and anterior pituitary glands are in their functions and hormone secretion. The posterior pituitary mainly stores and releases hormones produced by the hypothalamus, such as oxytocin and vasopressin, while the anterior pituitary produces and releases its own hormones, including growth hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone, and adrenocorticotropic 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 gland secretes the thyroid-stimulating hormone?

The Anterior pituitary gland secretes the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) this targets the thyroid gland, stimulating the release of thyroid hormones. Thyroid-stimulating horomone(TSH) is secreted by the Pitutary gland( Specifically thyrotrope cells of Anterior pitutary gland). TSH regulates thyroid gland.

Is prolactin produced in the anterior pituitary gland?

Yes. The Thyroid stimulating hormone is produced by anterior Pituitary gland.It increases the secretions of Thyroid gland, which in turn decreases the secretions of Thyroid stimulating hormone.Decrease in secretions of Thyroid stimulating hormone, decreases the the secretions of Thyroid gland. Decrease in secretions of Thyroid gland increases secretions of Thyroid stimulation hormone.This is called as a negative feed back mechanism.There is over all control of Hypothalamus over Pituitary gland.
