Final answer:

The adenohypophysis, or anterior pituitary gland, produces several hormones including GH, TSH, ACTH, and prolactin, but does not produce parathyroid hormone (PTH), which is produced by the parathyroid glands.

Step-by-step explanation:

The adenohypophysis, or anterior pituitary gland, produces several hormones, but it does not produce parathyroid hormone (PTH). The hormones produced by the adenohypophysis include growth hormone (GH), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), beta endorphin, and prolactin. PTH is actually produced by the parathyroid glands in response to low blood calcium levels, and therefore it is not a hormone produced by the adenohypophysis.
