Work Step by Step

Option a. is incorrect. The anterior pituitary controls the secretions of the adrenal cortex; however, the secretions of the adrenal medulla are controlled by the hypothalamus. Option b. is correct. The anterior pituitary controls the thyroid gland with thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and the adrenal cortex with adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Option c. is correct. The anterior pituitary secretes the gonadotropic hormones luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), which affect the ovaries and testes. If options b. and c. are correct, then option d. is correct.
