FSH stands for follicle stimulating hormone. It plays an important role in the maturation of ovary which causes ovulation under the influence of luteinizing hormone, LH.

Growth hormone is mainly secreted by the anterior pituitary which is responsible for growth.

Prolactin is secreted by anterior pituitary which is mainly responsible for ejection of milk.

Oxytocin is mainly released by posterior pituitary which helps in intrauterine contraction during parturition.

Water diuresis (increased urine production) is an effect of vasopressin released by posterior pituitary.
