Answer 2

Pituitary Gland

Explanation:

Hormones produced by the pituitary gland are:

1. Adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) - responds to biological stress
2. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) - stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroxine and triiodothyronine which stimulates the metabolism of almost every tissue in the body.
3. Luteinising hormone (LH) - In females, it triggers ovulation and development of the corpus luteum. In males, it stimulates Leydig cell production of testosterone.
4. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) - Regulates the development, growth, pubertal maturation, and reproductive processes of the body.
