Name the part of pituitary gland which controls growth and development of gonads ?
Answers
Explanation:
The hypothalamus, which controls the pituitary by sending messages, is situated immediately above the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland is often called the master gland because it controls several other hormone glands in your body, including the thyroid and adrenals, the ovaries and testicles.
Answer:
The endocrine glands secrete a variety of hormones that control the development and regulation of the reproductive system (these glands include the anterior pituitary, the adrenal cortex, and the gonads—the testes in males and the ovaries in females).

Table 1. Pituitary Hormones
Pituitary lobe - Associated hormones-Chemical class-Effect
Anterior Growth hormone (GH) -Protein- Promotes growth of body tissues
Anterior Prolactin (PRL)- Peptide- Promotes milk production from mammary glands
Anterior Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) -Glycoprotein Stimulates thyroid hormone release from thyroid
Anterior Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)- Peptide Stimulates hormone release by adrenal cortex
Anterior Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)- Glycoprotein Stimulates gamete production in gonads
Anterior Luteinizing hormone (LH) Glycoprotein Stimulates androgen production by gonads
Posterior Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) Peptide Stimulates water reabsorption by kidneys
Posterior Oxytocin Peptide Stimulates uterine contractions during childbirth
Intermediate zone Melanocyte-stimulating hormone Peptide Stimulates melanin formation in melanocytes
