The pituitary gland is divided in two parts: The anterior pituitary gland and the posterior pituitary gland.

The anterior pituitary gland secretes growth hormone (GH), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinising hormone (LH), prolactin (PRL) and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).

The posterior pituitary gland secretes antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and oxytocin.

Of all the choices, only growth hormone and thyroid stimulating hormone are common.

Well, actually, I had to do a university course on the human anatomy. My test was only 5 weeks ago so I still remember most of the stuff.

Nonetheless, interest in biology is a great gift(at least I consider so!).
