Parasomnias are disruptive sleep disorders that can occur during arousals from REM sleep or partial arousals from non-REM sleep. Parasomnias include nightmares, night terrors, sleepwalking, confusional arousals, and many others.
The anterior pituitary gland produces 6 hormones, they are: Growth hormones (GH) to the bones and muscles, thyrotropic hormones (TSH) to the thyroid, prolactin (PRL) to the mammary glands, adrenocorticotropic hormones (ACTH) to the adrenal cortex, follicle-stimulating hormones (FSH) and luteinizing hormones (LH) to the testes or ovaries.
1 The anterior pituitary produces 6 important hormones: 2  Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), as its name suggests, is a tropic hormone responsible for the stimulation of the thyroid gland. 3  Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulates the adrenal cortex, the outer part of the adrenal gland, to produce its hormones.he nervous system can control hormone levels through the action of the hypothalamus and its releasing and inhibiting hormones. For example, TRH produced by the hypothalamus stimulates the anterior pituitary to produce TSH. Tropic hormones provide another level of control for the release of hormones.
