Pituitary Gland Diagram
Question | Answer |
---|---|
bones and general growth | (GH) |
adrenal cortex | (ACTH) |
thyroid | (TSH) |
testes | (FSH, LH) |
ovaries | (FSH, LH) |
mammary glands | (prolactin (PRL), oxytocin) |
uterus | (oxytocin) |
kidneys | (ADH) |
hypothalmus | -bottom half of diencephalon of the brain, which hangs the pituitary gland -influences thyroid gland with the pituitary -serves as link between endocrine and nervous systems -regulator of the essential homeostatic balance of the body fluids |
GH | growth hormone; (bones and general growth) |
ACTH | adrenocorticotropic hormone; (adrenal cortex) |
TSH | thyroid-stimulating hormone; (thyroid) |
anterior pituitary | ACTH (adrenal cortex); FSH (ovaries, testes); GH (bones, liver, muscle, other tissue); LH (ovaries, testes); PRL (breasts); TSH (thyroid) |
FSH | follicle-stimulating hormone; (testes, ovaries) |
LH | luteinizing hormone; (testes, ovaries) |
prolactin | PRL (mammary glands) |
oxytocin | (mammary glands, uterus) |
posterior pituitary | ADH (kidney); oxytocin (uterus, breasts) |
ADH | antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin) |
