secreted by the posterior pituitary |
|
what does oxytocin do and where is it produced?
|
it stimulated uterine contraction during birth and coitus and also causes milk ejection in the lactating mother
secreted by the posterior pituitary |

|
metabolic hormone that plays an important role in determining body size.
produced by the anterior pituitary |

what does prolactin do and where is it produced?
|
stimulated breast development and promotes and maintains lactation by the mammary glands after chilbirth. may stimulate testoterone in males
produced by the anterior pituitary |
|
what does follicle stimulating hormone do and where is it produced?
|
regulate gamete production and hormonal activity of the gonads
produced by the anterior pituitary gland |
|
what does the luteinizing hormone do and where is it produced?
|
regulate gamete production and hormonal activity of the gonads
produced by the anterior pituitary gland |
|
what does the thyroid stimulating hormone do and where is it produced?
|
influences the growth and activity of the thyroid gland.
produced by the anterior pituitary gland |
|
what does adrenocorticotropic hormone do and where is it produced?
|
regulates the endocrine activity of the cortex portion of the adrenal gland
produced in the anterior pituitary |
|

exerts some inhibitory effect on the reproductive sstem that prevents precocious sexual maturation
produced by the pineal gland |
