Lab 2 - Endocrine/ Anterior and Posterior Pituitary Gland
What hormones does the Anterior Pituitary gland secrete?
Prolactin (PRL) Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Growth Hormone (GH) Luteinizing Hormone (LH) Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
After being synthesized in the hypothalamus, what two hormones are stored in and released from the Posterior Pituitary gland?
Oxytocin Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)
Pituitary Gland
located in the sella turcica of the sphenoid bone inferior to the hypothalamus
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
ovaries and testes/Ovarian follicle& sperm maturation
Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
ovaries and testes/Triggers ovulation &stimulates production of sex hormones
Endocrine System
the collection of glands that produce hormones that regulate metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, sexual function, reproduction, sleep, and mood, among other things.
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
thyroid gland/Releases thyroid hormone

Growth Hormone (GH)
all tissues/stimulates growth, especially bones and muscles
Prolactin (PRL)
