question 6 of 10
a nurse is teaching a client about hormones within the endocrine system. which hormones
would be included as the hypothalamic hormones? select all that apply.
gonadotropin-releasing hormone
arginine vasopressin
corticotropin-releasing hormone
prolactin hormone
thyrotropin-releasing hormone

Explanation:

To determine hypothalamic hormones:

• Gonadotropin - releasing hormone: Secreted by the hypothalamus to regulate gonadotropin release.
• Arginine vasopressin (Antidiuretic hormone): While mainly associated with the posterior pituitary, it is synthesized in the hypothalamus.
• Corticotropin - releasing hormone: Produced by the hypothalamus to stimulate corticotropin release.
• Prolactin hormone: Primarily released by the anterior pituitary (not a hypothalamic hormone).
• Thyrotropin - releasing hormone: Secreted by the hypothalamus to regulate thyrotropin release.

So the correct options are the ones that are hypothalamic hormones.

Answer:

A. Gonadotropin - releasing hormone, B. Arginine vasopressin, C. Corticotropin - releasing hormone, E. Thyrotropin - releasing hormone
