Which hormones are produced by the pituitary gland?

T3, T4, CRH
TSH, GH, FSH
Insulin, Glucagon, Cortisol
ADH, Oxytocin, PTH

The correct answer is: TSH, GH, FSH

The pituitary gland, often referred to as the "master gland," plays a crucial role in regulating various physiological processes through the hormones it produces. The correct response identifies TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone), GH (Growth Hormone), and FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone) as key hormones generated by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. TSH stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones, which are vital for metabolism and energy regulation. GH is critical for growth and development, affecting tissue growth and metabolism throughout the body. FSH is essential in the reproductive system, promoting the development of ovarian follicles in women and spermatogenesis in men. In contrast, the other options present hormones that are not produced by the pituitary gland. For example, T3 (Triiodothyronine) and T4 (Thyroxine) are thyroid hormones, while CRH (Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone) is secreted by the hypothalamus. Insulin and glucagon are hormones produced by the pancreas, and cortisol is produced by the adrenal glands. Lastly, while ADH (Antidiuretic Hormone) and oxytocin are indeed produced by the posterior pit
