Question

drag and drop text to match each pituitary hormone with its function.
function hormone
stimulates the thyroid gland to release its hormone (released by the anterior pituitary) antidiuretic hormone (adh)
stimulates cell growth and division (released by the anterior pituitary) thyroid - stimulating hormone (tsh)
stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete cortisol (released by the anterior pituitary) growth hormone (gh)
act on the gonads (ovaries and testes) during sexual maturation and reproduction (released by the anterior pituitary) oxytocin
maintains body’s water balance by increasing water reabsorption by the kidney (released by the posterior pituitary) follicle - stimulating hormone (fsh) & luteinizing hormone (lh)
stimulates contraction of smooth muscle in uterine wall during labor (released by the posterior pituitary) adrenocorticotropic hormone (acth)

Explanation:

Each hormone is matched to its defined physiological function based on endocrine system biology.

Answer:

• Stimulates the thyroid gland to release its hormone (released by the anterior pituitary) ↔ Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
• Stimulates cell growth and division (released by the anterior pituitary) ↔ Growth Hormone (GH)
• Stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete cortisol (released by the anterior pituitary) ↔ Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH)
• Act on the gonads (ovaries and testes) during sexual maturation and reproduction (released by the anterior pituitary) ↔ Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) & Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
• Maintains body's water balance by increasing water reabsorption by the kidney (released by the posterior pituitary) ↔ Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)
• Stimulates contraction of smooth muscle in uterine wall during labor (released by the posterior pituitary) ↔ Oxytocin
