Hypothalamus
- Anterior Pituitary
- Growth hormone
- Promotes growth of
the entire body by
affecting protein
formation, cell
multiplication and cell
differentiation
- Adrenocorticotropin
hormone (ACTH or
corticotropin): controls
secretion of some of the
adrenal cortical
hormones (primarily
glucocorticoids)
- TSH (thyrotropin):
controls the rate of
secretion of thyroxine
and triiodothyronine by
the thyroid gland.
Control intracellular
reaction rates
- Prolactin: promotes
mammary gland
development and milk
production
- Gonadotropic hormones: FSH and
LH which control growth of ,
hormonal and reproductive activities
of the testis and ovaries
- Posterior pituitary
- ADH (Vasopressin): controls the rate of
water excretion in the collecting ducts of
the kidney
- Oxytocin: helps promote milk
excretion from the mammary glands
during breast feeding and also
contractions during labour
- Hormones secreted by the hypothalamus
- Thyrotropin-releasing hormone
(TRH)
- paraventricular nucleus
- Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)
- ventromedial nucleus
- Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH)
- paraventricular nucleus
- Growth-hormone releasing hormone GHRH
- arcuate nucleus
- Growth-hormone inhibitory hormone (somatostatin)
- periventricular nucleus
- Prolactin-inhibiting hormone (dopamine)
- arcuate nucleus
