Answer 1

1. Stimulates ovulation- LH (luteinizing hormone)

The process of ovulation is controlled by the hypothalamus of the brain and through the release of hormones secreted in the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland, luteinizing hormone (LH)

2. Stimulates production of TSH and PRL- TRH (Thyrotropin releasing hormone)

The hypothalamus, in the base of the brain, produces thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). TRH stimulatesthe anterior pituitary gland to produce TSH.

3.Stimulates secretion of anti stress hormone- ACTH (adreno corticotrophic hormone)

Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is made in the pituitary gland. It is needed for your adrenal glands to work properly and help your body react tostress.

4. Stimulates milk synthesis- PRL (prolactin)

The hormone prolactin must be present for milk synthesis to occur.prolactin in the blood stream move into the lactocytes and stimulate thesynthesis of breastmilk components.

5. Stimulates water retention- ADH (anti diuretic hormone)

When the hypothalamus senses low blood volume and increased serum osmolality it synthesizes ADH, a small peptide molecule.
