Answer:

TSH - Thyroid gland

Oxytocin - breast and uterus

ACTH - adrenal gland

FSH - testes

Thyrotropin-releasing hormone - anterior part of the pituitary gland.

Thyroid-stimulating hormone or TSH stimulates the thyroid gland to release two hormones is T3 and T4 hormone. TSH is another hormone also known as thyrotropin.

Thus, TSH - Thyroid gland

The hormone oxytocin stimulates contractions in uterus muscles during childbirth and also release milk from the breasts.

Thus, TSH - Thyroid gland

Adrenocorticotropic or ACTH hormone triggers the adrenal gland to release a hormone called cortisol.

Thus, ACTH - adrenal gland

Follicle-stimulating hormone or FSH triggers the ovaries to produce progesterone and estrogen. It has sexual and reproductive characteristics.

Thus, FSH - ovary and testes

Thyrotropin-releasing hormone or TRH, that triggers the release of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) from the anterior part of the pituitary gland.

Thyrotropin-releasing hormone - anterior part of the pituitary gland.
