What are the 2 parts of the pituatiry gland

Posterior (Neurohypophysis) and Anterior (Adenohypophysis) Pituitary glands

What 2 hormones are made by the posterior pituitary gland?

ADH and Oxytocin

Antidiuretic hormone (AHD)

causes kidneys to retain water

Oxytocin

stimulates labor contractions and milk let down

Pitocin

synthetic form of oxytocin which stimulates labor contractions and milk let down

What are the 5 hormones made by the anterior pituitarty gland?

TSH< ACTH, FSH, LH, GH

Thyrotropin

stimulates the secretion of thyroxin

Adrenocorticotropin

or ACTH stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete cortisol

Follicle Stimulating hormone (FSH)

stims gonads to secrete gametes and sex hormones

Luteinizing hormone (LH)

stims gonads to secrete gametes and sex hormones

Growth hormone

stims growth in body

Prolactin

stimulates mammary glands to produce lactose or milk

Gonad

sex organ

tropic

effect

Adeno
