The gonadotropic hormones of the anterior lobe of the pituitary include:
Correct answer: B. Follicle Stimulating Hormone, Luteinizing Hormone, Prolactin
- A. Prolactin, Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, Somatotropin Hormone
- B. Follicle Stimulating Hormone, Luteinizing Hormone, Prolactin
- C. Adrenocorticotropic Hormone, Luteinizing Hormone, Follicle Stimulating Hormone
- D. Luteinizing Hormone, Follicle Stimulating Hormone, Thyroid Stimulating Hormone
Explanation
Gonadotropins are glycoprotein hormones secreted by gonadotropic cells of the anterior pituitary gland. Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), and prolactin are the three hormones secreted by the anterior pituitary.

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.
