Pituitary Sella Anterior Lobe: Peptides or proteins ACTH – triggers the ACTH – Adrenal ACTH – Addison’s ACTH – Cushing’s
Glands turcica of adrenals to release gland (cortex) disease disease
the ACTH the hormone TSH – Thyroid TSH – Goiter TSH – Grave’s
sphenoid TSH cortisol gland GH – Growth disease
bone GH TSH – causes the GH – Liver, adipose retardation GH – Acromegaly
PRL thyroid gland to tissue PRL – Inability to PRL – Infertility,
FSH produce and PRL – Mammy lactate amenorrhea,
LH release thyroid gland decreased libido
MSH hormones (Males)
GH – regulates
growth and
metabolism
PRL – stimulates
the production of
breast milk and is
necessary for
normal milk
production during
breast feeding
 FSH – regulates the
functions of both
the ovaries and FSH – Ovary and
testes testis FSH & LH –
FSH & LH –
LH – helps the LH – Ovary and Infertility,
Polycystic ovary
reproductive testis amenorrhea,

system MSH – Melanin- decreased libido
precocious puberty
MSH – stimulates producing cells (Males)
MSH (alpha-MSH) –
the production and
darkening of the skin
release of melanin
Anti-diuretic
Hormone – acts to
maintain blood ADH – Diabetes
ADH – Reduces urine
