Respuesta :

Answer:

A. Growth hormone- anterior pituitary

Prolactin - anterior pituitary

Adrenocorticotropic hormone- anterior pituitary

Thyrotropic hormone- anterior pituitary

Luteinizing hormone - anterior pituitary

Oxytocin - hypothalamus

Antidiuretic hormone - hypothalamus

Follicle-stimulating hormone- anterior pituitary

Thyroxine (T1) - thyroid gland

Calcitonin - thyroid gland

Explanation:

The growth hormone is released  from the anterior pituitary gland. The  hormone acts on many parts of the body and promotes growth especially in children.

The hormone prolactin is produced in the anterior pituitary gland during pregnancy in order to develop breast tissues and prepare for milk production.

Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) helps the body to respond to stress conditions. It stimulates the production  of cortisol from the adrenal gland.

TSH is produced by the pituitary gland and controls the production of the thyroid hormones.

Luteinizing hormone is one of the hormones produced by the pituitary gland.

Oxytocin is produced in the hypothalamus and is secreted into the bloodstream directly. It is important in female reproduction and is produced in large amount during labor. It is also released when the nipples are stimulated.

Antidiuretic hormone controls of the amount of water lost via urine. It is produced in the hypothalamus.

Follicle-stimulating hormone is another hormone produced by the pituitary gland. It plays an important role in sexual development especially in women where it controls the menstrual cycle and assists in the growth of eggs.

The thyroid gland produces many thyroid hormones including T1,T2,T3 and T4.

The thyroid gland also produces calcitonin, a hormone secreted by the thyroid gland and regulates the amount of calcium in the blood.
