Adrenocorticotropic hormone is a polypeptide tropic hormone produced and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. It is an important component of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and is often produced in response to biological stress.
The posterior wall of the eye is also called the fundus.

Pituitary is the name of a gland that is located at the base of the human brain. It produces hormones that are important in the function of the body and its processes.

It is also called the neurohypophysis. ADH and oxytocin are produced in the hypothalamus. These are stored in the posterior pituitary. No hormones are actually produced in the posterior pituitary, they are only stored.
Ventral pituitary :)... Adenohypophesis is another name for anterior pituitary. Neurohypophesis is another name for posterior pituitary. :)
The hormone that stimulates contractions of the uterus in mammals is oxytocin. However, the story is probably rather more complex. In mice, for example, that had no cell membrane receptors for oxytocin, birth took place as usual. Oxytocin has a short peptide molecule consisting of just nine amino acids.
The name of the hormone is leuteinizing hormone. It is secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. It is released in middle of the menstrual cycle, normally.
somatotropin A protein hormone of the anterior lobe of the pituitary, produced by the acidophil cells, that promotes body growth, fat mobilization, and inhibition of glucose utilization; diabetogenic when present in excess; a deficiency of somatotropin is associated with a number of types of dwarfism (type III is an X-linked disorder). Syn: growth hormone, pituitary growth hormone, somatotropic hormone.
(Science: chemical) a small glycoprotein hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary. Lh plays an important role in controlling ovulation and in controlling secretion of hormones by the ovaries and testes.chemical name: Luteinizing hormone
The anterior pituitary gland in the brain is the first place the Gaonadotrophin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) goes when it is produced by the Hypothalamus (a region in the brain). Next, two hormones are produced, the Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and the Lutenizing Hormone (LH). Basically, the Hypothalamus is the starting place. GnRH is produce there and then goes to the anterior pituitary gland. Because of this, FSH and LH are produced. This process is the progression from pre-puberty to puberty.

Adrenal Medulla is not the correct answer. The actual target of ACTH is the Adrenal Cortex, hence the name Adrenocorticotropic Hormone. Please feel free to test my answer, but I believe that is more specific than suggesting the Medulla itself.
I don't know the name of the hormone but I do know that it signals other glands to produce growth hormones.
Somatotropic hormone is another name for growth hormone. If a body does not have enough it will not grow properly. One condition that results from lack of somatotropic hormone is called cretinism. Not only will the body not from properly, but there will likely also be a lack of mental development as well. The gland that is responsible for secreting somatotropic hormone is the anterior lobe of the pituitary.
Another name for the pituitary gland is the hypophysis (it may be called the hypophyseal gland by some). This name comes from the Greek words that mean "grows under" and "to make grow". This name was given because the pituitary gland is located under a very important structure called the hypothalamus, from which it get almost all of its instructions on what hormones to secrete. Further, the hormones that the pituitary secretes are important for skeletal growth, development of other glands and organs, etc. Thus, the description "grows under" and "to make grow" are good descriptions of the location and function of the pituitary.
