PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -For each system, the hypothalamus secretes releasing hormones (i.e., CRH, GnRH, and TRH) that act on the pituitary gland. In response to those stimuli, the pituitary gland releases ACTH, gonadotropins (i.e., LH and FSH), or TSH. ACTH activates the adrenal glands to release cortisol, which induces metabolic effects.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your hypothalamus also creates oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone and tells your posterior pituitary when to store and release these hormones. Your hypothalamus makes the following hormones to communicate with and stimulate your pituitary gland: Corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH). Dopamine.

Detailed explanation-3: -Your hypothalamus sends signals in the form of releasing hormones to tell the anterior and posterior pituitary when to release (secrete) its hormones.

Detailed explanation-4: -The hypothalamus is arguably the most essential of the endocrine system. By alerting the pituitary gland to release certain hormones to the rest of the endocrine system, the hypothalamus ensures that the internal processes of your body are balanced and working as they should.

Detailed explanation-5: -Pituitary: The Master Gland Because the pituitary controls the function of most other endocrine glands, it is often called the master gland. * These hormones are produced in the hypothalamus but are stored in and released from the pituitary.
