Hypothalamus is a bridge between the nervous system and endocrine system

Hypothalamus is a bridge between the nervous system and endocrine system. Endocrine system secretions start in the brain. Hypothalamus controls what is released by the pituitary gland by secreting releasing factors. Thyrotropin releasing hormone = TRH Corticotropin releasing hormone = CRH

Presentation Transcript

  1. Hypothalamus is a bridge between the nervous system and endocrine system

  2. Endocrine system secretions start in the brain.

  3. Hypothalamus controls what is released by the pituitary gland by secreting releasing factors. • Thyrotropin releasing hormone = TRH • Corticotropin releasing hormone = CRH • Gonadotropin releasing hormone = GRH • Growth hormone releasing hormone = GHRH

  4. Releasing hormones from the hypothalamus cause the release of stimulating hormones from the pituitary. -Thyroid stimulating hormone TSH -Adrenocorticotropic hormone ACTH -Follicle stimulating hormone FSH -Luteinizing hormone LH -Growth hormone GH

  5. What do the following pituitary gland hormone do? TSH, ACTH, FSH, LH, GH

  6. Terms to Know • Hypothalamus -TRH -CRH -GRY -GHRH • Pituitary -TSH -ACTH -LH -FSH -GH • Pineal -melatonin • Thyroid -triiodothyronine T3 -thyroxine T4 • Thymus -thymosin • Adrenal -cortisol • Ovary -estrogen -progesterone • Testis -testosterone • Pancreas -insulin -glucagon • Kidney -erthythropoetin -renin • Parathyroid -parathyroid hormone PTH
