Respuesta :

Answer:

Regulate production of other hormones.

Explanation:

Pituitary gland is also called the “master gland”. It is divided into anterior part and posterior part. The anterior part of pituitary gland secretes six hormones. These hormones are growth hormone (GH), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and prolactin (PRL). Together with hypothalamus, it regulate the function of other endocrine glands by stimulating them to produce their hormones for metabolic body functions. For example, TSH stimulates thyroid gland to secrete hormone thyroxine.
