What to Focus On

  • Endocrine glands are ductless glands.
  • Exocrine glands secrete through ducts.
  • Hormones are chemical messengers released in trace amounts.
  • Hypothalamus controls the pituitary.
  • ADH and oxytocin are synthesized in the hypothalamus.
  • Anterior pituitary is adenohypophysis.
  • GH stimulates body growth.
  • GH deficiency causes dwarfism.
  • GH excess causes gigantism or acromegaly.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Vasopressin and oxytocin are produced by the posterior pituitary.

The posterior pituitary is a true gland that secretes its own hormones.

Growth hormone is always responsible for tall height, so more GH is always better.
