Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The pituitary gland is also known as the hypophysis and is present in the vertebrates. It is one of the endocrine gland present at the base of the brain. The three lobes of the pituitary gland control different physiological processes. The pituitary gland secretes hormones, which regulate the blood pressure, growth, pregnancy, childbirth, and functions of other endocrine glands.

Which of the following statements about the Anterior Pituitary is NOT true?

- releases thyroid stimulating hormone
Which of the following are ALL secreted by the anterior pituitary?
O GH, prolactin, and thyroxine
ACTH, LH, and oxytocin
O FSH, GH, and TSH
FSH, LH, and testosterone
ADH, glucagon, and TSH
There is a significant difference between the lobes of the pituitary
gland. Select ALL that apply,
The neurohypophysis is significantly larger than the adenohypophysis
The adenohypophysis is glandular and ductless. The neurophypophysis is not.
The neurohypophysis is an elongation of the hypothalamus.
The adenohypophysis produces prolactin which is stimulated by dopamine.
The adenohypophysis produces prolactin which is inhibited by dopamine.

- ADH and oxytocin are hypothalamic hormones secreted from the pituitarys _____________ lobe. a. anterior b. posterior c. primary d. secondaryarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements regarding pituitary hormones is FALSE? Adrenocorticotropic hormone, released by the anterior pituitary, targets the adrenal medulla to increase cardiac output and blood flow. Luteinizing hormone, an anterior pituitary hormone, triggers ovulation of an egg from the ovary and causes the ruptured follicle to produce progesterone and some estrogens. Hyposecretion of follicle-stimulating hormone or luteinizing hormone leads to sterility in both males and females. O The hypothalamus makes oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone, which are transported the posterior pituitary for storage.arrow_forwardWhich is a non-tropic hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary? both prolactin and MSH prolactin (PRL) lutenizing hormone (LH) melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH)arrow_forward
- The posterior pituitary gland secretes ACTH. secretes MSH. produces TSH. produces FSH. does not produce hormonesarrow_forwardThe hypothalamus releases which travels through the portal system to the anterior pituitary, which stimulates the release of A somatostatin: somatocrinin B somatocrinin somatotropin C somatomedin: somatocrinin D somatotropin: somatostatinarrow_forwardHow does the hypothalamus influence the posterior and anterior lobes of the pituitary gland? Select all that apply. The anterior pituitary lobe secretes hormones that were made inside the hypothalamus. The anterior pituitary lobe produces hormones, but their release is controlled by hormones released from the hypothalamus. The posterior pituitary lobe produces hormones, but their release is controlled by hormones released from the hypothalamus. The posterior pituitary lobe secretes hormones that were made inside the hypothalamus.arrow_forward
- If a patient is hypoglycemic, which of the following physiological processes will occur in an attempt to correct this situation? ACTH will be released by the posterior pituitary gland to stimulate the adrenal gland, glucocorticoid will be released by the adrenal cortex and increase serum glucose levels, mineralcorticoids will be released by the adrenal cortex and potentiates catecholamine effects, Epinephrine will be secreted by the adrenal cortex in an attempt to increase blood serum glucose levelsarrow_forwardWhich hormone is correctly paired up with its function? ADH: causes smooth muscle contractions in the uterus O T4: decreases cellular activities and chemical reactions in the body Calcitonin: increases the levels of calcium in the blood None of the hormones are correctly paired up with its function.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements regarding pituitary hormones is FALSE? Group of answer choices Luteinizing hormone, an anterior pituitary hormone, triggers ovulation of an egg from the ovary and causes the ruptured follicle to produce progesterone and some estrogens. Antidiuretic hormone, released by the posterior pituitary, causes urine volume to increase and blood volume to decrease The hypothalamus makes oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone, which are transported the posterior pituitary for storage. Hyposecretion of follicle-stimulating hormone or luteinizing hormone leads to sterility in both males and females.arrow_forward
