Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tropic hormones stimulate certain endocrine glands to secrete hormones. They are produced by the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland and regulate the secretion of various hormones in the body. Examples of tropic hormones include follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) which stimulate the ovaries and testes to produce sex hormones, and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) which stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones. Tropic hormones do not function in only one sex or only in the tropics, nor do they block the actions of hormones.
