2-Oxytocin, it is involved with uterine contractions, cuddle hormone, ,and its a post-pardom hormone

The hormones released in the Anterior Pituitary Gland are

1-growth hormones, they stimulate bone growth, they have metabolic effects, and it targets the liver causing it to release Somatomedia (a hormone)

2-ACTH, it targets the adrenal cortex which wil release cortisol

• leteinizing hormone
• follicle-stimulating hormone
