Anterior Pituitary Gland - The 10 Commandments of Endocrinology - Endocrine Physiology

Explore the intricacies of the anterior pituitary gland in this comprehensive 23-minute video lecture on endocrine physiology. Delve into the differences between the anterior pituitary (adenohypophysis cerebri) and the posterior pituitary (neurohypophysis cerebri). Learn about the various hormones secreted by the anterior pituitary, including gonadotropins (FSH, LH), corticotropin (ACTH), thyrotropin (TSH), growth hormone (GH), and prolactin. Discover the functions of these hormones and their target organs. Compare this with the posterior pituitary's release of oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone (ADH or vasopressin). Gain valuable insights into the "10 Commandments of Endocrinology" to enhance your understanding of this crucial physiological system. This lecture is ideal for students preparing for medical exams such as USMLE, NCLEX, COMLEX, PANCE, PANRE, MBBS, MCAT, and DAT.
