What are Tropic hormones? Give one example.

Tropic hormones are hormones that stimulate other endocrine glands to produce and release their hormones. They act on target glands rather than directly on tissues or organs. Tropic hormones play a crucial role in regulating various physiological processes by controlling the activity of other endocrine glands. For example: TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) activates thyroid to secrete thyroxin.
