I: | is also known as posterior pituitary. |
II: | stores and releases two hormones called oxytocin and vasopressin. |
I: | Prolactin regulates the growth of the mammary glands and formation of milk in them. |
II: | TSH stimulates the synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones from the thyroid gland. |
III: | ACTH stimulates the synthesis and secretion of aminated hormones called catecholamines from the adrenal cortex. |
IV: | LH and FSH stimulate growth of accessory sex organs and hence are called gonadotrophins. |
