44
Q

Posterior pituitary

A

45
Q

Adrenocorticotrophic hormones (acth)

A

Targets the adrenal gland cortex and stimulated the release of corticosteroids and mineralocorticoids.

46

Follicle stimulating hormones (Fsh)

A

Targets the Sertoli cells in males causing spermatogenesis. In females it targets the ovaries stimulating growth of the follicles which contain the ova (eggs)
