Adrenocorticotropic hormone is also called [blank_start]corticotropin[blank_end] and its release is triggered by [blank_start]CRH[blank_end] (abbreviation) from the [blank_start]hypothalamus[blank_end].

Abnormal release of corticotropin-releasing hormone can be triggered by [blank_start]fever[blank_end], [blank_start]hypoglycemia[blank_end], and other stressors.

Name the hormone responsible for stimulating the adrenal cortex to release glucocorticoids.

Thyroid-stimulating hormone is released by the [blank_start]anterior[blank_end] pituitary triggered by [blank_start]TRH[blank_end] (abbreviation) from the [blank_start]hypothalamus[blank_end]. Release inhibited [blank_start]rising[blank_end] blood levels of [blank_start]thyroid[blank_end] hormones through [blank_start]negative[blank_end] feedback and [blank_start]GHIH[blank_end] (abbreviation) from the hypothalamus.

Pituitary dwarfism is present in [blank_start]children[blank_end] and is due to the [blank_start]hyposecretion[blank_end] of [blank_start]GH[blank_end] (abr).

Growth hormone has [blank_start]direct[blank_end] actions on metabolism and [blank_start]indirect[blank_end] actions on growth.

Name the hormone responsible for direct metabolic and indirect growth-promoting actions.

Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) are produced in the [blank_start]liver[blank_end], [blank_start]skeletal muscle[blank_end], and [blank_start]bone[blank_end] in response to [blank_start]GH[blank_end] (abr.) They stimulate the uptake of [blank_start]amino acids[blank_end] from blood and into cells for incorporation into [blank_start]proteins[blank_end] allowing cell [blank_start]division[blank_end].
