Define Factors for hypothalamic control of anterior pituitary gland

  • Thyrotropin Releasing Factor (TRF) which causes release of TSH.
  • Corticotropin Releasing Factor (CRF) which causes release of ACTH.
  • Growth Hormone Releasing Factor (GRF) which causes release of GH.
  • Gonadotrophin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) which causes release of both LH and FSH.
  • Prolactin Release Inhibiting Factor (PIF) which inhibits the secretion and release of prolactin.
  • Prolactin Releasing Factor (PRF) which causes release of prolactin.
  • Growth Hormone (GH) releases inhibiting hormone or somatostatin which inhibits the secretion and release of GH. Now let's take a look at the posterior pituitary, its location, the hormones released from it and their functions in the body.
