Night terrors in adults can be treated with medications such as an antidepressant called Tofranil or benzodiazepine drugs such as Klonopin or Valium. Additionally, the doctor may recommend psychotherapy, which is a method of treating emotional problems.
The anterior pituitary gland secretes six hormones. In this lesson you will learn the functions of the hormones: Growth Hormone (GH), Prolactin (PRL), Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH), and Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone TSH).
The anterior pituitary hormones enter the systemic circulation and bind to their receptors on other target organs. In the case of TSH, the target organ is the thyroid gland.Clearly, robust control systems must be in place to prevent over or under-secretion of hypothalamic and anterior pituitary hormones.s an example, thyroid-releasing hormone from the hypothalamus binds to receptors on anterior pituitary cells called thyrotrophs, stimulating them to secrete thyroid-stimulating hormone or TSH.
