- 2As a first step into the topic... Do you know what influences the hypothalamus?Information from many parts of the brain and humoral stimuli from extracellular fluid.

- 4There is another name for the pituitary gland Do you know it?Hypophysis
- 5How are the hypothalamus and the hypophysis connected?By hormones and nervous connections.
- 6Let's talk about the hypophysis; it is controlled by…Hormonal stimuli from the brain and other endocrine glands.
- 7Which are the hypophysis’ functions?To control many different endocrine glands.
- 8The pituitary target organs are: ... glands, thyroid gland, ... , mammary glands, uterus, ... and other tissues.(adrenal; gonads; kidneys)
- 9The pituitary size and morphology seem to be related to…The environmental niche and physiological state.
- 10A hormone can activate different cells in the pituitary, which in turn will release ... hormone/s each.(only one)
- 11The hormones released from the anterior pituitary are long chain polypeptides (... , ... , ...), short chain polypeptides (...) or glycoproteins (... , ... , ...).(STG; GH; PRL; ACTH; TSH; FSH; LH)
- 12Which polypeptides hormones do exert direct action? Short- or long-chain polypeptides? Which are their names?Long-chain polypeptides. Somatotrophic Hormone (STH, aka Growth Hormone, GH) and Lactotrope Hormone (aka Prolactin, PRL).
- 13Which are the short-chain polypeptides released by the hypophysis?Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH), Melanocyte-stimulating Hormone (MSH), alfa, beta and gamma lipoproteins, and beta-endorphin.
- 14Which are the glycoprotein hormones?Thyrotrophic Hormone (TSH), Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FS) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH).
- 15The posterior pituitary, also called ... , releases hormones by mean of ... . Those hormones are ... and ... .(neurohypophysis; neurons; vasopressin (aka Antidiuretic Hormone, ADH); oxytocin)
- 16Hypophysis vascularization is useful to carry minute quantities of ... hormones in a concentrated way to do their actions in the ... gland.(hypothalamic; anterior pituitary)
- 17Hypophysiotropic hormones are in charge of ... the function of the ... .(maintaining; adenohypophysis)

- 21The main functions of prolactin are: ... development, startup and maintenance of ... , ... ovulation in females and ... problems in males when high levels, and ... improvement with GH.(breast; lactation; no; infertility; immune)
- 22Plasma levels of prolactin is regulated by ...(dopaminergic system)
- 23Vasopressin has its antidiuretic function due to the ... and ... (increase of permeability), and the vasoconstrictor one by increasing ... .(insertion of water channels; urea transporters; peripheral vascular resistance)
- 24Oxytocin promotes ... and inhibits ... . It is regulated by a ... feedback.(milk ejection and associative behaviour with the crying baby; ovulation; positive)
