Match each pituitary hormone with its target.
____ | antidiuretic hormone | a. gonads |
____ | oxytocin | b. mammary glands, uterus |
____ | luteinizing hormone | c. kidneys |
____ | growth hormone | d. adrenal glands |
____ | adrenocorticotropic hormone | e. most body cells |
To match: Each pituitary hormone with its target.
Antidiuretic hormone: c. kidney
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is also known as vasopressin. It is a hormone that is produced in the hypothalamus region of the brain and stored in the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland. ADH stimulates kidney and helps in maintaining the water level in the body.
Oxytocin: b. mammary gland
Oxytocin is a peptide hormone that is produced in the hypothalamus region of the brain and stored in the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland. Neurons present in the hypothalamus give electrical signals to release oxytocin into the blood. Oxytocin acts on the mammary gland and helps in lactation (to secrete milk) and contracting the uterus during child birth.
Luteinizing hormone: a. gonads (ovaries, testes)
Luteinizing hormone (LH) is secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland...
