○ lh, hgh, tsh and acth
○ oxytocin, testosterone, interstitial cell stimulating and vasopressin
○ prolactin, oxytocin, estrogen and progesterone
○ acth, vasopressin and fsh

1. when the thyroid produces too much thyroxine, what results?

○ hyperthyroidism
○ graves’ disease
○ hypothyroidism
○ goiter

Explanation:

The anterior pituitary gland secretes luteinizing hormone (LH), human growth hormone (HGH), thyroid - stimulating hormone (TSH), and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Oxytocin and vasopressin are secreted by the posterior pituitary. Testosterone is mainly produced by the testes, estrogen and progesterone by the ovaries. When the thyroid produces too much thyroxine, it leads to hyperthyroidism. Graves' disease is an autoimmune cause of hyperthyroidism, but hyperthyroidism is the general condition. Hypothyroidism is when the thyroid produces too little thyroxine, and goiter is an enlargement of the thyroid gland which can be due to various reasons not directly related to over - production of thyroxine.

Answer:

1. LH, HGH, TSH and ACTH
2. Hyperthyroidism
