The hormone released by the hypothalamus is Diagram of hypo

The hormone released by the hypothalamus is _____. Diagram of hypothalamic/anterior pituitary axis of control of GH release. Flow chart: top cell shows the first-tier control in which the hypothalamus releases GHRH, next cell shows the second-tier control with the anterior pituitary releasing GH. The next cell under shows effects on liver, muscle, bone and fat. The release of GH has a negative feedback effect on the anterior pituitary, which decrease the release of GH. The release of GH is also shown to stimulate the hypothalamus to release a hormone identified with a question mark. The hormone released by the hypothalamus is _____. GnRH dopamine IGF somatostatin ,

I copy and pasta diagram with this Question The hormone released by the hypothalamus is _____. i PUT GnRH said it was wrong

Solution

The hormone released by the hypothalamus is somatostatin.

Hypothalamus releases GHRH (Growth homone releasing hormone) ---> this causes anterior pituitary to release GH (Growth Hormone) ---> This growth hormone acts on fat cells and on liver cells ---> Liver cells release IGF-1 (Insulin like growth factor-I) ---> High blood levels of IGF-I result in decreased secretion of growth hormone by two methods : (a) suppressing the somatotroph (b) stimulating release of somatostatin from hypothalamus.
