Question 2

anterior pituitary

prolactin

Answer 2

TC: breast secretory tissues
FUNCT: promotes milk production

Question 3

anterior pituitary
TSH
thyroid stimulating hormone

Answer 3

TC: thyroid gland
FUNCT: stim thyroid gland to release thyroid hormone

Question 4

anterior pituitary
ACTH
adrenocoricotropic hormone

Answer 4

TC: adrenal cortex
FUNCT: release adrenal cortex hormones

Question 5

anterior pituitary
FSH
follicle stimulating hormone

Answer 5

TC: ovaries/testes
FUNCT:
females-stim egg maturation, and production of estrogen/progesterone
males- stimulates sperm production

Question 6

anterior pituitary
LH
luteinizing hormone

Answer 6

TC: ovaries/testes
FUNCT:
females-triggers ovulation, production of estrogen/progesterone
males- promotes testosterone production

Question 7

posterior pituitary

oxytocin

Answer 7

TC: uterus/breast
FUNCT: stimulates uterus contraction, initiates milk ejection from breast,
plays role in sexual arousal/satisfaction in men and non lactating females

Question 8

posterior pituitary
ADH
antiduretic hormone
