Document Summary
Some major avian and mammalian endocrine tissues and hormones. Stimulates secretion of adrenocortical steroids such as cortisol. Stimulates thyroid gland to synthesize and release thyroid hormones (t3, t4) concerned with growth, development, metabolic rate. Gonadotropins: luteinizing or interstitial cell-stimulating hormone (lh or. Stimulates the interstitial cells, thus promoting the. Functions with lh to cause estrogen secretion and ovulation. Acts on seminiferous tubules to promote spermatogenesis. Acts on crop sacs of some birds. Posterior lobe of pituitary (neurohypophysis) releases these hormones produced by the hypothalamus. Elevates blood pressure by acting on arterioles. Promotes reabsorption of water of kidney tubules. Affects postpartum mammary gland, causing ejection of milk. Has possible action in parturition and in sperm transport in female. Stimulates release of tsh by anterior pituitary. Stimulates release of acth by anterior pituitary. Affect growth, amphibian metamorphosis, molting in birds, metabolic rate in birds and mammals, development. Lowers blood calcium level by inhibiting calcium reabsorption from.
