  3. Releasing and inhibiting hormones - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Releasing_and_inhibiting...

    Releasing hormones and inhibiting hormones are hormones whose main purpose is to control the release of other hormones, either by stimulating or inhibiting their release. They are also called liberins ( / ˈ l ɪ b ə r ɪ n z / ) and statins ( / ˈ s t æ t ɪ n z / ) (respectively), or releasing factors and inhibiting factors .

  4. Hypothalamus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothalamus

    Releasing hormones (also called releasing factors) are produced in hypothalamic nuclei then transported along axons to either the median eminence or the posterior pituitary, where they are stored and released as needed. [25] Anterior pituitary

  5. Endocrine gland - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocrine_gland

    It is linked with the formation of the black pigment in our skin called melanin. The neurohypophysis stores and releases two hypothalamic hormones: Oxytocin stimulates powerful uterine contractions, which trigger labour and delivery of an infant, and milk ejection in nursing women. Its release is mediated reflexively by the hypothalamus and ...

  6. Melanocyte-stimulating hormone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanocyte-stimulating_hormone

    The melanocyte-stimulating hormones, known collectively as MSH, also known as melanotropins or intermedins, are a family of peptide hormones and neuropeptides consisting of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), β-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (β-MSH), and γ-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (γ-MSH) that are produced by cells in the pars intermedia of the anterior lobe of the pituitary ...

  7. Corticotropin-releasing hormone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Corticotropin-releasing_hormone

    Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) (also known as corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) or corticoliberin; corticotropin may also be spelled corticotrophin) is a peptide hormone involved in stress responses. It is a releasing hormone that belongs to corticotropin-releasing factor family. In humans, it is encoded by the CRH gene. [5]

  8. Corticotropic cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corticotropic_cell

    Corticotropes produce and release ACTH, a 39 amino acid peptide hormone, in response to corticotropic releasing hormone (CRH) release from the hypothalamus. CRH is a 41-amino-acid peptide hormone that is secreted by the parvocellular neurosecretory cells, which are found within the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus. [9]

  9. Adrenal gland - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenal_gland

    The production of steroid hormones is called steroidogenesis, and involves a number of reactions and processes that take place in cortical cells. [5] The medulla produces the catecholamines, which function to produce a rapid response throughout the body in stress situations. [4] A number of endocrine diseases involve dysfunctions of the adrenal ...
