Question

1. A. Besides MSH, list the 8 major hormones released from the pituitary gland

B. State which portion of the pituitary releases each hormone and list each hormone’s target tissue and function.

C.list at least one releasing hormone associated with each hormone listed in part A.

2.A. Describe the cardiac cycle and state when the heart sounds occur.

B. Describe the process of erythropoiesis

Answer 1

Answer:-

1A/B. :- anterior pituitary produces seven hormones. These are the growth hormone (GH), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), beta endorphin, and prolactin.

Posterior pituitary harmones : The posterior pituitary secretes two important endocrine hormones—oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone.

Functions:

C:- Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) controls pituitary secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) causes release of both pituitary luteinizing hormone (LH) and pituitary follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).

2.A : The cardiac cycle refers to all of the events that occur from the beginning of one heartbeat to the beginning of the next and can be divided into two parts: a period of relaxation known as diastole and a period of contraction known as systole.

Process of Erythropoietin : Erythropoiesis (from Greek 'erythro' meaning "red" and 'poiesis' meaning "to make") is the process which produces red blood cells (erythrocytes), which is the development from erythropoietic stem cell to mature red blood cell. ... After seven months, erythropoiesis occurs in the bone marrow.
