Document Summary
Exocrine glands- produce nonhormonal substances and have ducts that carry these substances to a membrane surface. Hormones-chemical messengers released into the blood to areas of the body. Target organs- organs that respond to a par9cular hormone (hormone binds to speci c receptors) Pituitary gland (hypophysis: anterior pituitary lobe (adenohypophysis) is known as the master endocrine gland because it controls many other endocrine glands. It is controlled by neural secre9ons from neurons of the ventral hypothalamus. Tropic hormones- 4 hormones produced by basophil cells that s9mulate an endocrine gland to secrete its hormones. Follicle-s7mula7ng hormone (fsh) and luteinizing hormone (lh)- known as gonadotropins these hormones regulate gamete produc9on and hormone ac9vi9es of the gonads. Adrenocor7cotropic hormone (acth)- regulates endocrine ac9vi9es of the cortex por9on of adrenal gland. Thyroid-s7mula7ng hormone (tsh) or thyrotropin- in uences growth and ac9vity of thyroid gland. Hormones secreted by the anterior pituitary not involved in regula9ng other endocrine glands.
