Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Somatotropes are the cells within the anterior pituitary gland that are responsible for producing and secreting growth hormone (GH). Other cells within the anterior pituitary gland produce other hormones such as thyroid-stimulating hormone (thyrotropes), adrenocorticotropic hormone (corticotropes), follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone (gonadotropes), and prolactin (lactotropes).
