Adrenocorticotrophic Hormone (ACTH) Adrenals Stimulates the adrenal gland to produce a hormone called Cortisol. ACTH is also known as corticotrophin.
Cortisol promotes normal metabolism, maintains blood sugar levels and blood pressure. It provides resistance to stress and acts as an inflammatory agent. Cortisol also helps to regulate fluid balance in the body.

Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) Thyroid Stimulates the Thyroid Gland to secrete its own hormone called Thyroxine (T4). TSH is also known as thryrotropin. Another hormone produced from the thyroid is called tri-iodothyronine or T3. Thyroxine controls many bodily functions, including heart rate, temperature and metabolism. It also helps metabolise calcium in the body.
Lutenising Hormone (LH)

And Follicle- Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
Ovaries (females)

Testes (males)
Control reproduction and sexual characteristics. Stimulate the ovaries to produce Oestrogen and Progesterone and the testes to produce Testosterone and sperm. LH and FSH are also known collectively as gonadatrophins.
Oestrogen helps with growth of tissue of the sex organs and reproductive parts. It also strengthens bones and has a positive effect on the heart.
Testosterone is responsible for the masculine characteristics including hair growth on the face and body and muscle development. It is essential for producing sperm and strengthening the bones.
