Question

Please, answer this question

Identify the hormones of the anterior and posterior pituitary along with their target organs and their functions.

Answer 1

Please look in the table for anterior pituitary hormones which are secreted from the pars distalis lobe of adenophysis:

Hormones	Target	Function
Growth hormone	All tissue.	Oversecretion causes gigantism and low secretion causes dwarfism. It maintains the proper growth of the body.
Prolactin	Mammary gland	Growth of mammary glands and formation of milk.
Thyroid stimulating hormone	Thyroid gland	Synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormone
Adrenocorticotrophic hormone	Adrenal cortex	Synthesis and secretion of steroid hormone.
Leutininsing hormone	Testis And ovary	Testis:Synthesis and secretion of androgen. Ovary: Ovulation
Follicle stimulating hormone	Testis and ovary	testis: regulates spermatogenesis Ovary: Formation of follicles in ovary

Pars intermedia lobe of adenophysis of anteriory pituitary secretes one hormone i.e. melanocyte stimulating hormone.

Target organ: It targests organ is melanocyte cells present in skin.

Function: It regulates the pigmentation in skin

Please look in the table for posterior pituitary hormones:

Hormone	target	function
Oxytocin	smooth muscles of the body Mammary glands Uterus lining.	It stimulates contraction of smooth muscles. Milk ejection from mammary glands Vigorous contraction of uterus
Vasopressin	kidney	Resorption of water and electrolytes
