Solution
The correct option is B LH (luteinising hormone), ACTH (corticotropin) and TSH (thyrotropin)
- ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic hormone) is secreted from anterior lobe of pituitary gland. It increases the flow of blood to adrenal cortex and also increases the concentration of cholesterol and steroids. This result in increased output of steroid hormone cortisol from adrenal cortex.
- GH (Growth hormone) is secreted from anterior lobe of pituitary gland and stimulates body growth and carbohydrate, protein, fat metabolism.
- ADH (Anti diuretic hormone )or Vasopressin is secreted from the posterior part of pituitary gland. This hormone increases reabsorption of water in kidneys and this results in decreased rate of urine production.
- Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is secreted from the anterior part of pituitary gland. It stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles in females and seminiferous tubules in males.
- Progesterone is a steroid female sex hormone which is also known as pregnancy hormone. It maintains the inner lining of uterus which aids in implantation of embryo in the uterus.
- TSH (Thyroid stimulating hormone) is secreted from anterior lobe of pituitary gland and stimulates the function and growth of thyroid gland.
- Cortisol is a glucocorticoid hormone secreted from adrenal cortex and regulates carbohydrate metabolism , storage of glycogen and increased reabsorption of sodium and water from the renal tubules.
- Luteinizing hormone or LH is secreted from anterior lobe of pituitary gland and stimulates growth of ovarian follicles in females. In males this hormone is called interstitial cell stimulating hormone or ICSH and affects the Leydig cells of testes.
Hence, LH, ACTH and TSH are secreted from pituitary gland.So, the correct answer is 'LH (luteinising hormone), ACTH (corticotropin) and TSH (thyrotropin)'.
