What are the hormones of the Anterior Pituitary Gland? And which are tropic hormones and which are direct hormones?
FLAT PEG
- Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) --- Gonads
- Luteinizing hormone (LH) --- Gonads
- Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) --- Adrenal Cortex
- Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) --- Thyroid
- Prolactin --- Breast
- Endorphine --- Brain
- Growth Hormone (GH) --- Bones and Muscles
The first four are tropic hormones that act on another endocrine gland to control release of hormones that will stimulate the target tissues. The last three acts directly on target tissues and are direct hormones.
