Somatotrophic hormone(STH): Growth hormone is secreted by the acidophill cells of the adenohypophysis. It is polypeptide in nature consisting of large branches. The molecular weight in human beings is 21500. The hormone regulates the growth of the body is thus it is necessarily concerned with the growth of skeleton, growth of muscle and growth of other organs. Function - It stimulates the growth of skeleton in general by promoting ossification. Hyper activity of gland in the young increases the growth of skeleton and this condition is known as gigantism.
