Not quite remember

I easily remember

Hormones that are secreted by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland

- Antidiuretic (ADH) - Oxytocin

Target tissue/organs of antidiuretic (ADH) hormone

Kidney tubule

Function of antidiuretic (ADH) hormone

Stimulates the reabsorption of water

Target tissues/organs of oxytocin hormone

- Uterine muscles - Mammary glands

Function of oxytocin in uterine muscles

Stimulates the contraction of uterine muscles during birth

Function of oxytocin in mammary glands

Stimulates the production of milk from the mammary gland

Hormones that are secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland

- Luteinizing hormone (LH) - Growth hormone (GH) - Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) - Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) - Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)

Target tissues/organs of luteinizing hormone (LH)
