Document Summary

Mechanisms of hypothalamic control of endocrine system table 20. 2. Controls stimulating and secretion activities of the adrenal medulla. Anterior: creates hormones to be released on its own. Follicle stimulating hormone (triggers oocytes in females to mature 28 day cycle/ovulation; maturation of sperm), lutenizing hormone (release of testosteronr and estrogen to signal maturity), adrenocorticotropic hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone, prolactin hormone, growth hormone (cell division), melanocyte-stimulating hormone. Prolactin, regulatory releasing hormone secreted by hypothalamus (prolactin releasing factor) When we"re cold, causes shivering (from basal metabolism), etc. Calcitonin causes bones to absorb calcium into bone matrix. Hypothalamus secretes thyrotropin-releasing hormone to anterior pituitary anterior pituitary releases tsh tsh stimulates follicular cells of thyroid gland to release regular. Th th causes increase in basal body temp increased body temp causes the releases to stop. Triggers osteoclasts to demineralize bone and put ca back in blood. Not controlled by anterior pituitary (no regulatory hormones)
