STH has an effect on:
Correct answer: B. Growth of the body
- A. Uterine contraction
- B. Growth of the body
- C. Blood pressure
- D. Production of thyroid hormone
Explanation
STH (Somatotrophic Hormone) also known as the growth hormone is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland has a direct effect on the growth of the body. It also controls metabolism. The production of thyroid hormone is controlled by Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. Uterine contractions are a result of the secretion of oxytocin by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland. Blood pressure is controlled by various factors, however, vasopressin also plays a role in blood pressure control.

About Chemical Coordination and Hormones
Chemical coordination uses hormones released by endocrine glands and carried in blood to specific target cells. Coverage includes the pituitary, thyroid, pancreas, adrenal glands, ovaries and testes, feedback control, and the contrast between slower, longer-lasting hormonal responses and rapid nervous coordination.
