Match the target tissue with the hormone secreted by the ant

Match the target tissue with the hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. Thyroid-stimulating hormone Growth hormone Follicle-stimulating hormone Adrenocorticotropic hormone Beta endorphins Lipotropins Melanocyte-stimulating hormone Luteinizing hormone

Solution

Thyroid stimulating hormone - Thyroid gland

Growth Hormone - stimulates liver cells to produce IGF-I which stimulates bone growth. Fat is also target of Growth hormone.

Follicle Stimulating hormone - sertoli cells in the testes in males and in the female the granulosa cells of the ovary.

Adrenocorticotrophic hormone - zona fasciculata and zona reticularis in the Adrenal cortex

Beta endorphins - opoid receptors through out the body. reduces pain.

Lipotropins - melanocytes and lipids

Melanocyte stimulating hormone - skin. stimulates skin cells to produce melanin pigment

Luteinizing hormone - target is ovary which results in release of ova.
