Anterior Pituitary Hormone

Endocrine System consists a variety of glands

Ductless is what they are, for they have no tubules to pass

Secreting hormones is its main function

To regulate the body in progress to prevent any obstruction

Master gland is what they call it

May also be hypophysis if you want to sound like a geek

The pituitary is the gland that I am referring       

In this poem, anterior part of it is what you would be learning

Anterior pituitary, also known as adenohypophysis

Where stress, growth and reproduction are its major gist

It’s bigger than the posterior if I would like to discern

Regulates physiological processes are its primary concern

Hypothalamus has the power over the anterior

Acts like a chief in sending stimulus to the supervisor

Wherein, release of hormones is definitely rapid

To the target organs that needs it exactly

Have you ever thought why others are small?

Seems like a kid but the features are old

It’s because of GSH that should promote growth

Has a failure known as hyposecretion

T­_3, T₄ and Calcitonin are discharged by the Thyroid Gland

This is not a part of the Anterior Pituitary but I would like to add

For they are correlated to one another in this special function

The negative feedback is the process that I would love to mention

When Hypothalamus secretes TRH, the pituitary will be whipped

TSH will now be freed and send signal to thyroid in just a one click

From the time this happens, TH won’t hesitate to be secreted

To avoid hormonal imbalance, negative feedback must be completed

Once there is sufficient TH, Thyroid gland will now act

Let Hypothalamus know that enough has been construct

So, no TRH and TSH will be able to stimulate the secretion of TH

And the whole body is now in cloud nine and harmony

Bulging eyes, excessive sweating and weight loss

Hyperthyroidism is the most common cause

You may have developed Grave’s disease as you may know

Or for layman’s term, TSH secretion went too low

ACTH is another hormone that will be produced

Stimulation of adrenal cortex  is the primary purpose

To secrete glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids and androgen for males

While, estrogen is also made to help the mom in giving birth

When the mom is still in the stage of pregnancy

Prolactin is produce and acts already

Preparing the breast for future milk production

To nourish the baby when introduced to the new world

LSH and FSH are the perfect duo

Acting on gonads of our dear sisters and bro

Stimulates production of progesterone, estrogen and testosterone

For a baby to come and be born

All of these are nice to know

To educate us of how our body works

All praises to God is all I want to give

To what He have done to you and me
