Hypothalamic hormones- hypophysiotropic

hormones made in the hypothalamus that are released to the anterior/postior pitutitary gland. these hormones then release other hormones in the blood stream

What connects the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary gland?

Hypophyseal portal veins

What does GnRH stimulate the anterior pituitary to secrete?

FSH and LH

What does GHRH stimulate the anterior pituitary to secrete?

Growth hormone (GH)

What does somatostatin (SST) do?

Inhibits secretion of growth hormone (GH)

What does TRH stimulate the anterior pituitary to secrete?

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)

What does dopamine (DA) do to the anterior pituitary?

Inhibits secretion of prolactin

What does CRH stimulate the anterior pituitary to secrete?

Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)

Which hypothalamic hormone stimulates FSH and LH release

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)

Which hypothalamic hormone inhibits growth hormone release?

Somatostatin (SST)

Which hypothalamic hormone inhibits prolactin release?

Dopamine (DA)

Which hormone stimulates TSH secretion?

Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH)

Which hormone stimulates ACTH secretion?

Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH)

Which hormone stimulates GH secretion?

Growth hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH)

Which anterior pituitary hormone is regulated by dopamine inhibition?

Prolactin
