Final answer:
The anterior pituitary gland secretes Growth Hormone (GH) and Thyroid-stimulating Hormone (TSH) among others but does not produce Insulin or Adrenaline. Therefore, the correct options are B) Growth hormone and C) Thyroid-stimulating hormone.
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer your question about which hormones are secreted by the anterior pituitary gland, let's look at the options you provided:
- Insulin
- Growth hormone (GH)
- Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
- Adrenaline
Out of these, Growth hormone (GH) and Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) are indeed secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. Options A) Insulin and D) Adrenaline are not secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. Insulin is produced by the pancreas, and adrenaline, also known as epinephrine, is produced by the adrenal glands.
The anterior pituitary gland secretes several key hormones, which include:
- Growth hormone (GH): Stimulates cellular activities like protein synthesis that promote growth.
- Prolactin (PRL): Stimulates the production of milk.
- Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH): Stimulates the thyroid gland to secrete thyroid hormones.
- Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH): Stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete its hormones.
- Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing hormone (LH): Regulate the functions of the ovaries and testes.
Therefore, the correct choices are Growth Hormone (GH) and Thyroid-stimulating Hormone (TSH).
