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

tissue of and type of tissue?

Posterior Pituitary Gland, Nerve Tissue

tissue of and type of tissue?

Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH)

adrenal cortex/promotes release of glucocorticoids & androgens

Growth Hormone (GH)

all tissues/stimulates growth, especially bones and muscles

Prolactin (PRL)

breast secretory tissue/promotes lactation

Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)
