Quizplus · Accepted Answer

FSH and LH are released in response to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus, which stimulates the pituitary gland to release these hormones. Corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH) is involved in the release of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) from the pituitary gland, which stimulates the adrenal glands. TSH is released in response to thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) from the hypothalamus and stimulates the thyroid gland. Oxytocin is synthesized in the hypothalamus and released from the posterior pituitary gland, and is involved in reproductive and social behaviors, as well as milk ejection during nursing.
