Hypothalamus released hormones (into ant./post. pit)

Hypothalamus releases stimulating and inhibitory hormones to the pituitary glands

Where does the hypothalamus secrete its hormones to?

Anterior Pituitary and Posterior Pituitary glands where they regulate various bodily functions.

Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone(TRH)

stimulates the release of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) from the anterior pituitary, which in turn regulates thyroid hormone production.

Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone(GnRH)

Controls reproductive functions by controlling FSH and LH release

Growth Hormone- Releasing Hormone(GHRH)

Stimulates the Ant.Pituitary to secrete GH

Corticotropin- Releasing Hormone(CRH)

Triggers the release of ACTH in response to stress

Somatostatin

Inhibits the release of GH and TSH

Dopamine

Inhibits PRL release

Oxytocin

Helps with contraction during child birth

Antidiuretic Hormone(ADH)

regulates water in blood
