growth hormone (gh) choose
prolactin (prl) choose
adrenocorticotropic hormone (acth) choose
thyroid-stimulating hormone (tsh)
follicle-stimulating hormone (fsh)
luteinizing hormone (lh) choose
choose
stimulates growth and cell reproduction.
stimulates follicle development in ovaries and sperm production in testes.
stimulates thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones.
stimulates milk production in mammary glands.
stimulates ovulation in females and testosterone production in males.
stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete glucocorticoids.

Explanation:

• Growth Hormone (GH) is known to stimulate growth and cell reproduction.
• Prolactin (PRL) is responsible for stimulating milk production in mammary glands.
• Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete glucocorticoids.
• Thyroid - Stimulating Hormone (TSH) stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones.
• Follicle - Stimulating Hormone (FSH) stimulates follicle development in ovaries and sperm production in testes.
• Luteinizing Hormone (LH) stimulates ovulation in females and testosterone production in males.

Answer:

Growth Hormone (GH): Stimulates growth and cell reproduction.
Prolactin (PRL): Stimulates milk production in mammary glands.
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH): Stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete glucocorticoids.
Thyroid - Stimulating Hormone (TSH): Stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones.
Follicle - Stimulating Hormone (FSH): Stimulates follicle development in ovaries and sperm production in testes.
Luteinizing Hormone (LH): Stimulates ovulation in females and testosterone production in males.
