Document Summary
Ubc biol 155 lecture 13 notes endocrine system. Tsh controls development and secretory activity of the thyroid gland. Tsh release is induced by the trh from the hypothalamus. Acth stimulates the adrenal cortex to release corticosteroid hormones. Acth release is induced by hypothalamic corticotropin-releasing hormone (crh) In both sexes, gonadotropins= release is stimulated by gonadotropin-releasing hormone (gnrh) from the hypothalamus. Gonadotropins regulate the function of the gonads (testes and ovaries): fsh stimulates production of gametes (sperm or egg, lh promotes production of sex steroids (testosterone or estrogen) Prl has diverse functions in many vertebrates. In humans, it is responsible for mammary growth and development and lactogenesis (milk production) at the end of pregnancy in the female, as well as regulation of testicular function in the male. Recall that prl release is stimulated by prolactin-releasing hormone (prh - possibly serotonin) and inhibited by prolactin-inhibiting hormone (pih or dopamine)
