Parent topics
- Endocrinology [r]: Generically, the study of glands and the hormonal regulation of physiology; also the subspecialty of internal medicine concerned with diseases of the endocrine system [e]
Subtopics
- Pars distalis [r]: The main part of the anterior pituitary gland, containing the principal source of prolactin, growth hormone, LH, FSH and TSH. [e]
- Pars tuberalis [r]: Rostral part of the anterior pituitary gland, closely integrated with the median eminence, that in some species regulates anterior pituitary endocrine function by mediating the actions of melatonin. [e]
- Cell types
- Lactotroph [r]: Endocrine cell type in the anterior pituitary gland that secretes prolactin. [e]
- Gonadotroph [r]: Endocrine cell type in the anterior pituitary gland that secretes luteinising hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone. [e]
- Somatotroph [r]: Endocrine cell type in the anterior pituitary gland that secretes growth hormone. [e]
- Corticotroph [r]: Endocrine cell type in the anterior pituitary gland that secretes ACTH. [e]
- Thyrotroph [r]: Endocrine cell type in the anterior pituitary gland that secretes thyroid-stimulating hormone. [e]
- Hormones
- Prolactin [r]: Hormone secreted from lactotroph cells of the anterior pituitary gland with an essential role in lactation. [e]
- Growth hormone [r]: A peptide hormone that is made in and secreted from the somatotroph cells of the anterior pituitary gland, and which is essential for regulating post-natal growth in all mammals. [e]
- Thyroid stimulating hormone [r]: Hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland, which stimulates production of thyroid hormone from the thyroid gland. [e]
- Follicle stimulating hormone [r]: Add brief definition or description (FSH)
- Adrenocorticotrophic hormone [r]: Hormone secreted from the anterior pituitary that regulates glucocorticoid secretion from the adrenal gland. [e] (ACTH)
- Luteinising hormone [r]: Pituitary hormone with an essential role in reproduction in both males and females. [e] (LH)
- Neuroendocrinology [r]: The study of the interactions between the nervous system and the endocrine system. [e]
- Somatostatin [r]: Neuropeptide whose best known function is as a hypothalamic factor that inhibits the secretion of growth hormone. [e]
- Median eminence [r]: Specialised region at the base of the brain containing the hypothalamo-hypophysial portal vessels and neuroendocrine nerve endings that release their products into them. [e]
- Ergonomics [r]: Study of the design and arrangement of equipment so that people will interact with the equipment in healthy, comfortable, and efficient manner. [e]
- Oxycodone [r]: An often abused opioid analgesic similar to codeine. [e]
