Anterior Pituitary Makes:
1. Growth Hormone which affects bones & muscles to produce growth.
2. Prolactin which affects the breast for milk secretion.
3. Adrenocorticotropic Hormone which affect adrenal glands to
(a) make aldosterone which affects the kidney to cause it to conserve sodium.
(b) to make cortisol which affects body cells causing stress.
(c) to make androgens which affect the axilla producing hair growth.
4. Thyroid hormone which affects the thyroid to make thyoxine. This acts on body cells and increases metabolism.
5. Gonadotropic Hormones (LH, FSH) which affect the testes causing them to make testosterone. This in turn affects body cells producing male secondary sex
characteristics. This same hormone affects the ovaries to make estrogen which again affects body cells which in turn produce female secondary sex
characteristics. Both males and females make these two sex hormones.
The third effect is on the ovaries to make progesterone which acts on the uterus to maintains pregnancy.
Post Pit makes:
1. Oxyotocin which acts on the breast to cause the breasts to "let down" milk. It also causes the uterus to contract.
2. Antidiuretic hormone which acts on the kidney to conserve water
What else can I help you with?
What is the function of pituitary?
formation of antidiuretic hormone
What part of the brain is involved in control of antidiuretic hormone?
The Posterior Pituitary secretes oxytocin and vasopressin, which is antidiuretic hormone.
Where does the growth hormone synthesize?
It is synthesized in pituitary. It is the anterior pituitary.
Does the anterior pituitary secrete growth hormone?
Yes, the anterior pituitary secretes growth hormone. It's made by the acidophilic cells.
Which hormone is secreted by the hypothalamus and stored in and released by the pituitary gland?
antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
How many hormones does the pituitary gland secrete?
Anterior pituitary secretes the growth hormone. Thyroid stimulating hormone, prolactin, ACTH or adrenocorticotrophic hormone, Follicle stimulating hormone, Leutenizing hormone, melanocyte stimulating hormone etc are secreted by anterior pituitary gland.
What does the pituitary secretes?
The anterior lobe of the pituitary gland secretes growth hormone and lutenizing hormone.
What hormone signals the kidney to make less urine?
That hormone is called ADH or antidiuretic hormone. Diuresis means producing urine and antiduresis is the opposite.
What hormone is produced in the anterior pituitary gland?
Oxytocin and Antidiuretic Hormone (vasopressin) are made in the hypothalamus but released from the posterior pituitary gland. Lutinising hormone, Folicle stimulating hormone, Thyroid stimulating hormone, Growth Hormone, Adreno-corticotropic hormone and prolactin are all made and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. Oxytocin-releases milk from breast and maintains contractions in labour. Antidiuretic hormone- reduces the amount of water lost in urine LH+FSH- Sex hormones involved in menstral cycle and testosterone/oestrogen production. TSH - tells the thyroid to make more thyroxine- increases metabolism Growth hormone- Increases uptake of amino acids into cells, promotes growth via Insulin like growth factors. Prolactin makes the breasts produce milk.
Which anterior pituitary hormone is not involved with the reproductive system?
Adrenocorticoriticotrophic hormone
What hormone made in the posterior pituitary gland works with the kidneys to maintain the body's water balance?
Antidiurectic Hormone (ADH) The answer is DD. antidiuretic hormoneADH anti diuretic hormone
What lobe is the growth hormone is secreted by the pituitary gland?
The growth hormone is secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland, also known as the adenohypophysis.
