-anterior pituitary -stimulates secretion of adrenal cortex hormones (cortisol) Adrenocorticotropic hormone ( ACTH)
-anterior pituitary -stimulates secretion of thyroid hormones Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
-anterior pituitary -female:estrogen secretion & follicle maturity & ovulation;causes luteinization of ruptured follicle;development of corpus luteum male:stimulates testes to secrete testostrone luteinizing hormone (LH)
-anterior pituitary -female:stimulates development of ovarian follicles & secretion of estrogens male:stimulates seminiferous tubules of testes to grow & produce sperm follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
