Roatan doesnât have a dry season and the tropical weather of the Caribbean allows for the occasional thunderstorm. Off shore tradewinds, rain, and overcast are all part of the tropical landscape. However, no need to worry, just as fast as the clouds roll in, thats how fast the sunshine can reappear.
The Pituitary Gland. The pituitary is the âmasterâ endocrine gland (about the size of a pea) which is controlled by the hypothalamus to release a variety of hormones which modify the state of physiology and our basic motivations.he anterior pituitary secretes 9 different important hormones: 1  Growth hormone (also referred to as 'Human Growth Hormone', 'HGH' or 'GH' or somatotropin). 2  Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). 3  Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). 4  Vasopressin. 5  Oxytocin. 6  Luteinizing hormone (LH).
The pituitary gland is often called the master gland. That is because the pituitary gland produces hormones that regulate other endocrine glands. Some hormones produced by the pituitary gland are: 1. Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH): Will be discussed in a later Chapter of the syllabus.2. Luteinising Hormone (LH): Will be discussed in a later Chapter of the syllabus.ome these hormones, called releasing hormones, stimulate the pituitary gland to make other hormones. Others, called release inhibiting hormones, prevent the production of pituitary hormones. An example is growth hormone releasing factor. This causes the production of growth hormone (GH) by the pituitary gland.
