Solution

A tropic hormone stimulates the release of other hormones.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. Tropic hormones are a type of hormone that are produced and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland in the brain.

  2. These hormones are called "tropic" because they have a specific target organ or tissue where they exert their effect.

  3. The main function of tropic hormones is to regulate the secretion of other hormones. This means they control or stimulate the release of other hormones in the body.

  4. For example, the tropic hormone Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) stimulates the thyroid gland to produce and release thyroid hormones.

  5. So, in summary, a tropic hormone stimulates the release of other hormones.
