The anterior pituitary gland secretes six hormones. In this lesson you will learn the functions of the hormones: Growth Hormone (GH), Prolactin (PRL), Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH), and Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone TSH).
The pituitary gland is divided into two lobes, an anterior (or front) lobe and a posterior (rear) lobe. The anterior lobe of the pituitary gland is stimulated by releasing hormones that are produced in the hypothalamus. The releasing hormones stimulate the anterior pituitary to release tropic hormones.he hypothalamus secretes hormones into this portal system and the hormones act on the anterior pituitary to trigger the synthesis/secretion of pituitary hormones. The other is a direct anatomical connection between the hypothalamus and the posterior pituitary gland.
