Question

in addition to tsh, the pituitary gland also makes a hormone called acth.
acth -> adrenal corticotrophic hormone
-> acts on adrenal cortex (on top of kidney)
adrenal cortex: atop kidney, structurally, not related -> adjacent to the kidney.
-> adrenal glands make adrenal hormones :
cortisol
-> regulates glucose metabolism
-> important in maintaining blood pressure & well - being
mineralocorticoids
-> aldosterone
-> regulates salt & water balance
-> additionally: adrenal androgens (somewhat important)

• adrenal mainly regulates a.androgens & cortisol, mineralocorticoids w/ seperate shut

pituitary also creates luteinizing & follicle stimulating hormone ->
fsh lh
-> act on gonads -> male: act on testes
-> stimulate development of sperm. & production of gonadal steroids/testosterone
-> female: act on ovaries ->
-> stimulate oocytes/eggs
-> estrodiol for females

Explanation:

, the text provided is not a question. It seems to be a set of handwritten notes about hormones produced by the pituitary gland and their effects (like ACTH, LH, FSH, and related adrenal and gonadal hormone functions). If you have a specific question related to this content, such as explaining a particular hormone's role, comparing hormones, or a question about the endocrine system based on these notes, please share it so I can assist you.
