TEAS 7 Comprehensive Science Study Which hormone is released from the hypothalamus, sent to the thyroid & secretes T3, T4 and Calcitonin? ANSWER : Thyrotropin releasing hormone -> thyroid stimulating hormone The hormone released from the hypothalamus that stimulates the thyroid gland to secrete T3 (triiodothyronine), T4 (thyroxine), and calcitonin is called Thyroid-Releasing Hormone (TRH). TRH is produced by the hypothalamus and released into the bloodstream. It travels to the anterior...
