Identify the nine pituitary hormones and their target tissues
What will be an ideal response?
The hormones produced and released by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland are (1 ) thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which targets the thyroid gland; (2 ) adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH), which targets the adrenal cortex; (3 ) follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and (4 ) luteinizing hormone (LH), which target the testes in males and the ovaries in females; (5 ) growth hormone (GH), which targets liver cells (which respond by synthesizing somatomedins); (6 ) prolactin (PRL), which targets mammary glands in females; and (7 ) melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH), which targets melanocytes in the skin. Hormones released by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland are (8 ) oxytocin (OXT), which targets the uterus and mammary glands; and (9 ) antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which targets the kidneys.
