Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland and stimulates the thyroid gland to produce and release thyroid hormones. A buildup of thyroid hormones in the blood inhibits TSH production through negative feedback. TSH is not stored in the posterior pituitary and its activity is related to maintaining a set point for thyroid hormone levels in the body.
