Question
hormones that control hormone secretion from other glands are known as
trophic hormones
steroid hormones
tropic hormones
growth hormones
Tropic hormones are hormones that control the secretion of hormones from other endocrine glands. For example, thyroid - stimulating hormone (TSH) is a tropic hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland that stimulates the thyroid gland to secrete thyroid hormones. Steroid hormones are a type of lipid - based hormone (e.g., cortisol, estrogen). Trophic hormones is an incorrect term in this context (the correct term is tropic). Growth hormones mainly regulate growth, metabolism, etc., and do not specifically focus on controlling other glandular hormone secretion.
