Adenohypophysis

For many years,
Anterior Pituitary Gland or Adenohypophysis
Consists of two parts
The pars distalis
And the pars tuberalis

It secretes hormones that regulate body activities
From growth to reproduction
Stimulated by releasing hormone
And suppressed by Inhibition

Five types of pituitary cells are seen
On the anterior division they have been
They secrete seven hormones respectively
To maintain the balance of humanity

HGH or Human Growth Hormone
Secreted by Somatotrophs that is mainly responsible
For the secretion of insulin growth factor
To enhance body growth stimulation
A X- factor on the circulation

Gonadotrophs secrete two hormones
The follicle and luteinizing hormones
They both act on the gonads
To stimulate estrogen and progesterone
On the maturation of oocytes they are responsible
To stimulate sperm production
And secretion of testosterone

Lactotrophs secrete prolactin
That promotes milk secretion
By the mammary gland that is a hero
Without this woman's breast
They are sure zero


Adrenocorticotropic secreted mainly
To control the production of cortisol completely
And glucocorticoids in the outer portion of the adrenal gland
We proudly say that Corticotrophs is the "MAN"

Lastly for the final promotion
I introduce to you Mr. Thyrotrophs
It is the professional and only hope
To stimulate synthesis of T3 and T4 in the thyroid.


Now you have to know Anterior Pituitary clearly
On this little poem written by a student in CC
Now it is time for a farewell
To the five little anterior cells - soldier
I hope that will be a big help in our course
And to this five little cells
Let's give them a round of applause
