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.
List the 3 nontropic hormones produced by the anterior pituitary gland and give the target organ/cell for each. 1) Growth hormone-skeletal muscle and bones 2) Melanocyte stimulating hormone-melaoncytes (increases melanin production) 3) Prolactin-secretory portion of mammary gland (increases milk production). î î î.
