Gonadotrophin Releasing Hormone
tropic hormone responsible for signaling anterior pituitary endocrine cells to release luetinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone |

Definition
| hypothalamus hormone that stimulates the endocrine cells in the anterior pituitary to release prolactin and TSH |

Term
| describe the relationship twix TSH, TRH, T3 and T4 and hypothalamus and hypophysis. |
|
Definition
| Ok. So. They hypothalamus produces TSH which is the TRH-Stimulating Hormone. The TSH goes to anterior pituitary and releases TyrosineReleasingHormone (TRH). This goes to the thyroid and releases tyrosine. Tyrosine and Iodine combine to make T3 and T4. T4 is more abundant but less "active" than T3. |
