Document Summary
Fill out the following table to use as a quick reference guide. Anterior pituitary -> thyroid and mammary glands anterior pituitary -> adrenal glands anterior pituitary -> ovaries and testes anterior pituitary -> liver, bone, cartilage, muscle, fat anterior. Promotes secretion of thyroid- stimulating hormone (tsh) and prolactin (prl) Promotes secretion of follicle- stimulating hormone (fsh) and luteinizing hormone (lh) Promotes secretion of growth hormone (gh) pituitary -> mammary glands. Inhibits secretion of prolactin (prl) anterior pituitary -> liver, bone, cartilage, muscle, fat, thyroid. Inhibits secretion of growth hormone (gh) and thyroid- stimulating hormone (tsh) or thyrotropin. Growth of thyroid, secretion of thyroid hormone. or corticotropin. Growth of ovarian follicles and secretion of estrogen. Prl is secreted by pituitary cells called lactotropes (mammotrope s). The hormone and these cells are named for the role of prl in lactation. During pregnancy, the lactotropes increase greatly in size and number, and prl secretion rises proportionately.
