Functions of the Hypothalamus	Hypothalamic Neurosecretory Cells	Hypothalamic hypophysiotropic hormones	Complexities of the hypothalamic-pituitary interactions
100 Name the 3 areas of the medial basal hypothalamus that are referred to the endocrine hypothalamus. median eminence, arcuate nucleus, VMH	100 What are the two types of neurosecretory cells magnocellular and parvicellular	100 What is the function of hypophysiotropic hormones To modulate the release of anterior pituitary hormones	100 What hormone does TRH release from the anterior pituitary? TSH
200 What are the functions of magnocellular cells To release neurohormones into the circulatory system	200 What are the 6, well established hypophysiotropic hormones that regulate release of anterior pituitary hormones? TRH, CRH, GnRH, GHRH, Somatostatin (SOM), dopamine	200 What hormone release is inhibited by dopamine? prolactin
300 What are the functions of the parvicellular cells To release hypothalamic hormones into the hypophyseal portal system	300 what is known about the control of alpha-MSH release from the anterior pituitary GABA and dopamine inhibits alpha-MSH release. CRH, HT and NE stimulate alpha-MSH release. No hypophysiotropic hormone other than these classic neurotransmitters has been identified to regulate alpha-MSH secretion.	300 What hormones does GnRH release from the anterior pituitary? LH and FSH
400 What is a neuroendocrine transducer Convert neural input into hormonal output	400 What classic neurotransmitter also serves as a hypophysiotropic hormone? Dopamine	400 What hormones does CRH release from the anterior pituitary? ACTH and beta-endorphin
500 Give four examples of neuroendocrine transducers 1) magnocellular neurons that release oxytocin and vassopressin into the circulatory system. 2) parvicellular neurons that secrete releasing/inhibiting hormones into the hypophyseal portal system, 3) the adrenal medulla that responds to sympathetic stimu	500 What two hormones are NOT hypophysiotropic hormones because they are released from the magnocellular neurons in the posterior pituitary directly into the circulatory system? vasopressin and oxytocin	500 What hormone release is stimulated by GHRH and inhibited by somatostatin (SOM)? Growth hormone (GH)
